Without so much as a warning, humanity in its entirety was suddenly moved to another dimension. Every person, without exception.

But this new world, with all its opportunities and gifts of wondrous abilities, was a stadium. A deadly arena of an unimaginable scale. And humanity was to be its latest gladiators. Every man, woman, and child was given a weapon and ordered to fight. Stuck in this dimension without a way out, only two options existed for the would-be hunters: Fight with monsters to complete the many trials ahead, or perish.

Faced with hordes of powerful monsters, thrown into battle with complete strangers at random, the unfair game of survival began. And from the very beginning, billions of lives were extinguished in mere moments. But even within this abyss of despair was a small ray of hope: If even one person were to complete every raid, then humanity would be redeemed and restored back to its former glory.

No save points, no revives, no retries. Everyone had just one life to make their way through the gauntlet of raids prepared to test their mettle. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules of the game.

To be honest, I enjoyed the premise of the story and the unfolding of the plot. As a longtime reader of fantasy, Sci-Fi and, in more recent years of LitRPG this was an interesting take on the genre and left me with questions I was eager to find the answers to as the story progressed.

What I found disappointing was certain depictions of the characters and their cultures. The most agregious being the African character. His depiction involved animalistic tropes in both the writing and the delivery which are utterly unnecessary and uncalled for. The character doesn't appear for long and yet he is there just long enough to fall into one of the most degrading stereotypes of Africans and descendants of Africans. It didn't add anything of substance to the story and there were so many other ways to portray that character. It was a brief passage that nonetheless soured my overall experience of the book.

Disappointing
