Synopsis
Derek Carter, a struggling orphan from Paleview City, is thrust into a world-ending catastrophe when a mysterious system appears in his vision. With minimal starting stats and no combat experience, he must navigate a city overrun by monsters and a crumbling reality. This novel reads like a classic LitRPG survival story, blending the zero-to-hero progression trope with a dark, urban disaster setting. It is designed for readers who enjoy underdog protagonists and snarky dialogue in high-stakes environments, while those seeking a polished, high-power fantasy from the start should skip it. The pacing focuses on desperate survival and gradual growth, with a standout quality being the protagonist's reliance on wit and sheer stubbornness rather than immediate dominance.

Editorial Review
At 71 chapters, the novel is in its early development phase. The primary strength lies in the characterization of Derek; his background as a marginalized orphan provides a grounded emotional core to the typical system-based progression. However, a notable weakness is the lack of specific genre tags beyond the generic Other and Webnovel categories, which suggests a potential lack of thematic focus. The narrative relies heavily on the protagonist's questionable decision-making to drive the plot, which keeps the tension high but risks becoming repetitive if not balanced with meaningful progression. Overall, it is a competent entry into the survival genre that manages to make its protagonist sympathetic despite the familiar tropes.
