About this listen
Imagine waking from a three-year coma in an abandoned hospital, on an Earth that has recently fused with a different dimension.
Last I remember I was saving my high school crush from the path of an oncoming truck. Now I'm a skin-and-bones weakling wearing nothing but my hospital gown. Oh yeah, the world is also full of monsters, and I'm the only human left.
It turns out a godlike System evacuated humanity but decided to leave the vegetable in the bed. From the moment my parents named me Lex Lurker, I was destined to be ignored. Everyone else has received a chance to prepare for what's to come in the Tutorial. I've only gotten a snarky talking cat for a companion.
I could crawl into a corner and wait to get eaten by a kobold, but after years of being asleep, I have a new appreciation for feeling alive. And for all the chaos, there are game-like rules and magical powers that could help me avoid becoming a meal and perhaps even thrive in this hellscape.
But first I'll have to find the tenacity to survive, the courage to fight, and the strength to face some dark truths about myself. Whispered voices call me the Hope of Humanity, but it turns out I might be the villain of this story.

Slow
The progression is really slow and you won't get to any of the story hooks in this book.
It feels like half a book (with the second book being the other half)
There is a lot of potential here, some nice subtle hints too so I will definitely be picking up the 3rd book.

a lot of potential
This story has alot of promise
A slow start and too much back and forth
The over use of checking the 'system' really bogged down progression. So did not feel like it moved along enough for a 1st book.
The narrator was too monotone and lacked spark to draw me in
(sorry)
Alot more proofreading would have done this more justice

terminally slow
it takes 2hrs (over quarter of the book) for anything to happen. the book end with the main character going outside? um build-up, conflict, climax, nope. have a read of sufficiently advanced magic by Andrew rowe, that has a good balance.
