The name of the game that threw the world into disaster. 3 months after its release it descended onto Earth, merging with it and creating an apocalypse.

Hordes of bloodthirsty monsters were let loose onto the waking world, killing and destroying everything in its wake. Landmarks were torn down, whole continents left desolate in the destructive wake of the Cataclysm.

The story follows Jayce, an accomplished Swordsman who is killed by a boss monster 10 years after the apocalypse began. One of his last sentences before his death was how he dreamed to be a Chef when he grew up.

After his death, he returns back in time to the release day of Cataclysm. Having 3 months to try and figure out a way to improve his odds of survival this time around.

And the day finally arrived.

    We're almost at 100ch so I wanted to post a review so I can respond to any questions people have. Firstly, this is my second contracted book on the platform, however I have paused my other book to focus solely on Chef in the Apocalypse so please do not worry about me dropping this. The story will follow Jayce who has regressed after spending 10 years in the Apocalypse. After dying, he returns to the release date of the game Cataclysm: World's End, which is 3 months before it descends upon Earth and causes the Apocalypse. The MC is not omnipotent and all-knowing, he is in fact quite flawed. However, he is loyal and determined while also being intelligent. He values his friends greatly and aims to survive whilst protecting them and growing stronger together. While the story begins as a tale of survival, with no explanation about the Apocalypse's origins or cause, it will begin to be discovered in the future. If you like a character-driven plot filled LitRPG, then this is the book for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to the review and I will answer as soon as I can. For now, here are some FAQ's (please avoid spoilers) FAQ: Q: Will there be Romance? A: Yes, wholesome Romance is a cornerstone of a great fantasy book. However like all things, it takes time. Q: Harem? A: No.

    Cover: 5/5, The cover edits is really amazing. One glance and I can already tell how much effort went into. Synopsis: 4/5. Although there are some confusion in the synopsis, I was able to tell what's going on and what the story would be about. Grammar: 5/5. Grammar wise, this novel is so much better than 90% of the novels in here. Writing: 4.5/5. Story wise and the writing structure is mesmerizing. I have been thoroughly impressed by author's unique way of storytelling and I can't wait to read more. Overall: 4.8/5. Would I recommend this novel to you? The answer would be yes and you should read it to prove my review right.

    Read what was free for a reference point: I like the idea and general plot of the story so this far, but the story does progress at a slow pace. If you want fast pace this isn’t the one for you. The grammar is good especially for a story on this app. Updates seem stable bit it’s a new book and the writer has another story the are working on as well; so we will see. World background needs a lot of building in my opinion. We will not know MC is in Asia and that’s it. We also know very little about MCs personality and background. Wish the characters were fleshed out more in the free chapters to connect with them and make them unique. Good luck with this story

    I'm bad at writing reviews but I'll just write whatever comes to my mindFirst of all, the writing quality is excellent, it feels like I'm reading a veteran's book.Update : Author already uploading 15 ch/week, what more do you want.I like the MCs personality and even better as he doesn't know the apocalypse like the back of his hand, so it creates suspense, I like that.and lastly, the reason I decided to give this book a try,THE MCS A COOK!!LOTS OF FOODGood going Author-san

    The prose is undeniably captivating, drawing the reader into the narrative effortlessly. However, I must admit that the pacing feels a tad leisurely for my taste, and I would personally appreciate more intricately detailed fight scenes to heighten the excitement and intensity.Nonetheless, the story shows great promise, and I understand that it's still in its early stages. As they say, you can't fully judge a book until you've read it in its entirety. Despite my minor reservations, I genuinely believe it holds the potential to be a compelling read that's well worth exploring further.

    This novel was sooo good until chapter 123-124. The author took a good skill that Jayce grinded for and completely nerfed it to a curse. I will never understand why authors nerf their characters when they put so much effort into strengthening them. I am disappointed that the vip skill was unalived and I commented on it. I still would have kept reading but when authors delete respectful comments that don’t praise them, it tells me all I need to know. That they aren’t interested in constructive feedback and therefore aren’t interested in learning/bettering their craft. I’m sure this review will get unalived too. Good luck on your writing endeavors. ✌🏾

    I dont know where you got the ingredients in an apocalypse world.. i hope that there would be a supporting class or someone with a subclass like a FARMER to get these ingredients. I hope that the chapters are longer. sometimes its like a minute or two passed in the novel like MC thinking what to do.. almost like info dump.. if there is action, too detailed enough to finish the chapter.. i dont mind a time skip as long as its longer

    From the get-go, the story grabbed my attention. The way the author weaves the narrative is genuinely commendable. However, I believe there's room for improvement. Perhaps if the story progressed at a slightly quicker pace and delved deeper into action-packed scenes, it could become even more immersive for readers like me. I'm genuinely excited and curious to see how the story will head. Lastly, I hope the author can maintain a more consistent update schedule.

    Does anyone know if this book is dropped or how long it'll be on hiatus? I want to start reading it but I won't if it isn't going to be continued.

    Story starts off good, sadly the author lost grip on the power scale and pressed the classic make the main power of a protagonist a nerf button and then makes some weird excuses about it to people that comment about it. Overal quality is good besides some minor grammar and spelling mistakes.

    What I liked about this novel is the quality of its writing, such generous vocabulary making the read enjoyable and enticing. The story development is exciting and provides lots of anticipation. Likewise, the world background is very well described and there is clear picture about how the apocalypse ended that way. The only thing I am mostly off about are the characters and their personalities. I apologize but I am not a fan of immature characters. I completely lost it after the introduction of the Oracle lady and her interactions with the protagonist and his allies. Some of the characters such as Colin has a tendency to be immature but maybe that just how the writer wants him to be. I would love to further my reading as I really love how the author does a very articulate novel but I suppose my taste for this type of novel is washout. This is just my sincere opinion and I hope other readers will find it different from me. All the best!

    Good I really like it . Love the plot not an op system or Mc from the star. The only thing I this like is the over and over description of either mc character and friends or enemies like the blood fang wolf in two chapter you gave them like 20 different descriptions as you do with others is getting out of hand
