it's just fight after fight after fight. Boring. The AI is also super annoying, and this is a book where the MC has very little agency. The progression of the MC is also very frustrating and delaying the class selection for only the MC is also super lame. Also, what's with all the women kissing and flirting with the MC?
The biggest problem, however, is the meta narrative. It just doesn't work. First, it's a carbon copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl - humans being sent to a game show to win Earth's survival - but it neglects to discuss it or show how it works. why include it? second, and worse, is that the AI gives the MC such a boost that it would be impossible to hide from the viewers, while also saying no one can find out about it. I guess that's why we don't see anything about the viewers, because the logic would fall apart.

A lot of fun
A slightly new take on lit-apocalypse, in which a slice of the world occupied by a film crew and cast is transported to a place where they have to fight for the survival of Earth. Interesting system, tons of loot, a little bit too much inclination to make the main character, the chosen one, although he sure does earn it.

Seems unserious considering the circumstances. Clichés and movie references galore.
