I might not be reading much these days but I am sure as hell not going to ever stop buying books xD

I'll just add this here for now because I am reading it and this volume is very confusing they don't say which issue is from which series or even what series it is lol

I don't understand if I am reading this not enough or it's hard for me to read more in a short time lol
These feel like some of the longest 342 pages of my whole life 😂

In novel form World War Z is actually world class novel.
Well researched and so very different from any zombie novel you will ever read.
In movie form, it's not even close to how good the novel is.

I read and read and feel like I am not progressing.
Today is the third day for me back to reading novels.
Writing makes it so that I read very little, and when I stop writing to edit 20+ unedited chapters I take a break altogether from reading before I get back to the grind.
Fun for me isn't reading or writing anymore, this is work.
Fun for me is gaming something that has nothing to do with the worries of this career

"In politics, you focus on the needs of your power base. Keep them happy, they keep you in office."
USA politics in a nutshell, whether it's democrats or republicans, both of them give zero shits about the other.

Finally made enough progress worth logging here
This novel isn't even about zombies at this point for me, it's about how countries and their politics would react if a zombie outbreak did happen.
Issue is the whole novel is built on the idea that the IDF and Mossad of Israel are imprevious forces who are too careful and will be the first to act.
But then again October 7th ruins this novel's logic.

This is really good but I am taking my sweet sweet time reading it.
Iam so busy with work and gaming and bad blood pressure, it's a miracle I can read at all lol

Goodreads obviously doesn't know what the fuck is LitRPG or they are rigging their shitty recommendations, putting Dungeon Crawler Carl under LitRPG escapist recommendation and then putting three other novels none of which belong to the genre at all.
It doesn't take that much research to get good LitRPG recommendations, but they didn't do research worth 10 cents writing that bullshit.

I am not reading as much as I should these days.
I am not writing as much as I could.
I am not playing as much as I would.
But I'll keep doing what I need to do anyway.

This is the good shit, it totally reads like a normal novel not a LitRPG and funny enough when you write a normal novel, you tend to focus more on the story and the characters and you feel the pace of your story more so you don't get repetitive as other LitRPGs
I think RinoZ is doing a great job here. And he isn't using the stats or the progression as a crutch.

This is pretty good writing. I think top 3 in LitRPG.
A little slow though for LitRPG readers so when you see negative reviews those are just dopamine junkies who are mad they aren't getting enough numbers for their LitRPG dopamine intake lol
I didn't want to log this until I finish I zombie.
I might either finish this next or start a zombie apocalypse novel beside it we will see.

This is mental torture. Not to me, but to the zombies the writer envisioned.
They do everything like zombies, except their brains are so very human, their thoughts still think they are human, or aware that they are trapped inside zombie bodies.

Last two chapters.
So anyway yesterday I learned that the MC that hears people say insidious things was betrayed by a close friend and that caused him to have major trust issues with everyone to the point of auditory hallucinations it seems
That's pretty interesting.

I read 60 pages of a litrpg novel in the last 24 hours, the most I read in quite sometimes actually.
And I am not going to add it to Goodreads now, because even though it's so good, I want to finish I zombie first before adding more to my currently reading shelf that is completely out of control xD

Third chapter down, this story has 8 chapters though not seven like last one but they are in fewer pages.
And the art here is way cleaner.
Also Sir in the last page, put some pants on, your dick is too small, nobody needs to see that shit.

She told him to stay quiet because voice attracts the zombies and then went on to scream at him.
Also what's wrong with him? He seems to have a mental illness or something where he thinks people want to harm him and hear them say things they didn't say. That's scary honestly, wouldn't want to have that.

Started reading this but I am hungry will go make something.
I think I'll like this way more than the Osaka story, because the girl here is way closer to the original MC of I am a hero, he used a sniper rifle she is using a bow and arrow.
The Osaka MC didn't use any weapons at all and was just surviving by running away.
So let's see how this goes I rated the first chapter 4 stars.

I wrote a horror short story, wait for my Amazon debut, it will probably sell three copies and they will send me a slice of pizza in the mail as my royalties or something.

Read a little bit of this today to break the novels and comics loop I am in lately.
It's still very fascinating too bad I don't have enough time to read and finish this but I'll try to give it more time often to break the cycle and rest my brain a little.

OMG he had a pregnant woman become zombie, and then give birth to a healthy human baby that instantly got eaten by zombies around her. How does the writer think of these things?!!!!

I was just talking to a friend I talk with daily.
And he goes like "I can't talk today, I need to relax."
Then he describes what's happening with him.
"My brain is noisy today can't relax."
I told him, "That's my brain all the time." and wished him well.
I tried to tell him many times how my brain feels all the time and I wasn't getting through he didn't understand.
But that's literally it constant noise.

I think I haven't read this since I started reading I am a hero in Osaka.
Both fulfilled the same craving for me so I just made due with one of them.
Most important thing is I am going to finish this novel, I open so many books that I never finish for various reasons (Just busy and focused on certain projects) But eventually when I have a me time I'll read them.

This is crazy, Kengo Hanazawa is good even though this will probably get 3 stars, the way he weaves these stories is just so interesting.
You can't expect what people will do, no matter how many zombie apocalypse stories we write
Human life is just so complicated.
Our attachment to people makes it very hard to predict because for many it won't be monster and not monster. It will be family and friends are not monsters

I understand why people rate this low (Maybe)
The protagonists just left a baby at the shore to an unknown fate (Probably will drown with a high wave that will pull him into the sea) In order to go save his girlfriend, an adult, who is perfectly capable of saving herself.
Wait who is weird? Me who would leave his girlfriend to save herself from a zombie apocalypse. Or this guy who would leave a stranger's baby to die

I don't know, I am feeling something.
And that's good, stories should make us feel.
Root for the hero, curse the villain and ancestors.
I think it's probably going to get at least 3 stars from me, and that's good for a side story.

He cried saying "I am no good, after seeing Naoki and Gen san I was glad it wasn't me"
They were becoming zombies and he was there for their last moments.
He is a nice guy.
Issue is for me in this story is so far it's pretty weak.
But it's not a series, just one and done.
It's not looking like it will be as good as the series so far.

I told you I am in the mode for zombie stories lol
So, I think I get what story the writer is going for here.
These two either will meet together as humans in the end and have a romantic ending. Or they will end up together as zombies (Which is also romantic, would you love me if I was a worm?!)
I am not sure what's up with all the zombies climbing shit and jumping though, that's weird.

Anybody can explain to me what happened at the end of Jeffery Biggers story? xD
Also very macabre reads lately, a lot of undead, and watching the walking dead too lol

I felt like I read way more than 16 pages, why is my reading so slow and so laborious in literally all books now?!
"They are holding back our boxes Carl!"
"Goddammit Donut."
He didn't say the catchphrase but I said it for him, YW.
