Reborn Apocalypse is a unique take on the LitRPG genre, where the protagonist is transported back in time with future knowledge to guide humanity to victory in a world with a video game-based progression system. The story revolves around the main character's meticulous planning, overconfidence, and willingness to die, set against a backdrop of a post-apocalyptic Earth where humanity fights for survival through seven layers of challenges. The writing style is described as detailed and informative, with a focus on world-building and character interactions, although some readers find it repetitive at times.

Characters:

Characters vary in depth, with the main character being clever and capable, while some secondary characters fall flat, lacking clear motives.

Writing/Prose:

Setting:

The setting is a multi-layered world where humanity battles for survival against other races in a structured death game, featuring rich world-building.

Pacing:

Pacing is uneven, alternating between slow exposition and sudden bursts of action, which can affect the overall flow of the story.
Alone in a sea of green stood a tree. Ancient and proud, stretching upwards towards the sky as if to say even the sun itself was not worthy of making it bow, this tree had stood unbending for centurie...

A Time-travel, LitRPG, Apocalyptic story.

If you could turn back the clock and fix all the mistakes you ever made, would you?

For Micheal Care, a swordsman that could only be considered a middling warrior in Humanity's Last Army, the answer to that question would be quite simple.

Yes.

A million times yes.

Humanity has fallen, wiped out after being warped away to a new reality, the mystical 7 Layers.

Humanity's goal had been simple. Make it through all 7 Layers and reach Heaven.

Humanity failed.

Humanity died.

Micheal Care's memories have been transported back into his past self thanks to a magical Artifact he found by chance.

He is no chosen savior.

He is no divinely picked hero.

Can he change the future? Can he catch up to the mightiest warriors of humanity and surpass them?
