About this listen
John wanted a vacation. He got an apocalypse.
When John sets out for a weekend camping trip in the Yukon, he never could have imagined the world would be plunged into chaos by the System–a mystical energy wave that destroys electronics and grants game-like powers to humanity. Suddenly, animals are evolving, monsters are spawning, and John finds himself equipped with a character sheet and incredible, physics-defying skills.
But surviving in this new reality won't be easy. John will have to get back to civilization through hordes of slavering monsters. And that's just the beginning—because with the arrival of the System, John will need to help rebuild society from the ruins up… and stop humanity from destroying itself along the way.
Life in the North is the first book in The System Apocalypse, an Apocalyptic LitRPGseries that combines modern day life, science fiction and fantasy elements along with game mechanics. This series contains elements of games like level ups, experience, enchanted materials, a sarcastic spirit, mecha, a beguiling dark elf, monsters, minotaurs, a fiery red head and a semi-realistic view on violence and its effects.

Unique but...
Nice bit of change from the normal type of litrpg but it’s a pretty standard MC who is the typical angry character, and then it’s a mess of writing jumping all over the place. Average.

Better than I expected
This was good, I listened to it over a week and a half which is probably ideal for this style of novel. The character was more complex and more likeable than I anticipated. Very well narrated.

Better than I expected
I wasn't too sure what to the think off the book and story however I got really hooked and smashed through to the first book and now moved onto the next books.
It does take a bit to get underway but you expect that in a series like that. I feel it is well paced and the the pace makes sense.

book is awesome
I love this book from start to finish the characters are well written and have a human side to them. The narrator did a great job with the narration of this book and the author did a great job with the story.

bloody hard to listen to
The story is so far good, but the author has written in a way that is main characters pov, as if he's telling the story as its happening, but it feels like it's written in dot points, with every sentence starting with "I" I did this, I did that, I move to the left, I move to the right, please, stop with the I. It's like nails on a chalkboard at this point. Additionally, the time passed is brushed over so quickly you don't get a sense for how long its been, and it's absurd that people are level 34 seemingly straight away.

Massive fan of this series
After reading all of System apocalypse (to date), I decided to try listening to the series on audible. The narrarators ability to bring the characters to life was hugely enjoyable, despite my knowing what would happen next. His performance of the wise cracking Ali in particular was incredible and gave me new appreciation for the character.

I enjoyed both the story and the performance.
enjoyed it a lot. took a while to wrap my head around John and his emotional shortcomings but by the end I was hooked. my only complaint is the reading of stats and abilities gets tedious

Good story - not enough progression
The story is written quite well but it is very slow. Worth getting as I expect the next few book things will pick up.
