    No Mistakes - World of the Changed by Vasily Mahanenko
    Save:

    Human civilization ends when a video game becomes reality. Only one in six have a chance to be players and most don't survive the first hour. Mark does and starts fighting back, trying to save his sister, and also the world. The story itself can get pretty dark and brutal with many characters getting killed off. It's also a bit slice of life and you follow the main character MC as he learns all the new rules and does whatever it takes to survive and tries to find and help his sister. The threats come not just from the monsters though, people can be just as deadly, and there are other mysterious enemies to mankind. All of which the MC eventually uncovers and has to deal with. There are some interesting twists that keep things challenging for the MC.

    Game mechanic wise, things are pretty detailed and there some new mechanics that differ from the author's other series. Levels are gained not from killing but from completing system generated missions and finding caches or rare items. Coins are given for taking 1st picture of kills whether human or monster. Coins are used to buy weapons and power packs to run them, stat upgrades, skill upgrades, regeneration packs, and shields to protect from damage. Lots of good upgrades from items, stats, and tech keep the story from getting repetitive and makes the MC feel more and more powerful as the story goes on.
