Who Would Like This Book:
If you love LitRPGs and enjoy seeing underdogs rise to insane heights through clever use of RPG systems, this series is right up your alley. The worldbuilding is ambitious, the combat is intense, and the main character's journey from zero to powerhouse is both grueling and addictive. The story starts with a unique twist on the apocalypse genre, leans hard into stat and skill progression, and offers a refreshing, realistic protagonist who doesn’t instantly morph into a hero overnight. Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, Primal Hunter, Tao Wong's System Apocalypse, and anyone addicted to the stats-and-skills grind.
Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers get overwhelmed or bored by the endless lists of skills, stats, and detailed system mechanics - it can feel like information overload. If you prefer tight, focused character arcs, you might also be frustrated when the story starts switching to side characters or spends too much time on grinding. The writing is good for web fiction, but those seeking top-tier prose and emotional depth might not find it here. The MC’s emotional intelligence is sometimes lacking, and romance or interpersonal subplots can feel clunky or inconsistent.
About:
The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound by Noret Flood follows an introverted college student named Randidly, who becomes trapped in a high-level dungeon after the System comes to Earth. With no opportunity to gain a traditional class, he learns various skills to survive, using a spear as his primary weapon. As he progresses, he often encounters overwhelming challenges, tackling both personal growth and the complexities of relationships amidst chaotic battles.
The writing style is engaging, featuring detailed descriptions of Randidly's skills and gradual evolution from a weak character to a powerful figure. The narrative sometimes shifts focus to secondary characters, which can be a distraction for readers who prefer to follow Randidly’s journey closely. Despite some criticisms about the depth of character development, the series offers a compelling blend of action, emotional tension, and an expansive system of skill progression that keeps fans hooked.

From The Publisher:
Randidly Ghosthound felt lost and alone even before the System transformed the Earth. Before every person had to deal with the sudden presence of Levels, Skills, monsters, and the very real possibility of death...
Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated Dungeon far beyond his Level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world.
But survive he does, only to leave the Dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the Dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.
And although he doesn't know it, he needs to prepare. Because the System has sent down a Tribulation, which waits in the shadows and monitors his every move...

The series as a whole is very good. Similar to Primal Hunter in the set up. Even the characters are somewhat similar. MC of this series, Randidly, was an introverted loser with relationship issues (before the system) while Primal Hunter's Jake was introverted high achiever with relationship issues. With the system, both got lucky breaks and became super strong. However, there's a sense of ease with Jake (humor) while Randidly has gloom and doom clouds floating over him.
Story line is very interesting and intriguing. World building is good. My only complaint is how Randidly does not have it easy at all (compared to Jake) but I'm rooting for him any way.
