What happens when the apocalypse arrives, not via nuclear weapons or a comet but as Levels and monsters? What if you were camping in the Yukon when the world ended? All John wanted to do was get away from his life in Kluane National Park for a weekend. Hike, camp and chill. Instead, the world comes to an end in a series of blue boxes. Animals start evolving, monsters start spawning and he has a … spawning and he has a character sheet and physics defying skills. Now, he has to survive the apocalypse, get back to civilisation and not lose his mind.
The System has arrived and with it, aliens, monsters and a reality that draws upon past legends and game-like reality. John will need to find new friends, deal with his ex and the slavering monsters that keep popping up.

Life in the North: An Apocalyptic LitRPG (The System Apocalypse Book 1) by Tao Wong is the first book in The System series. I have enjoyed reading this author’s books and this one is no different. These books read like video games so they are a little different but enjoyable all the same. I enjoy how the characters are creative and engaging. They create a story that is easy flowing and will keep you reading until the end. In this story John has been looking forward in just getting away from his life. Enjoy some camping, hiking just plain chill for awhile. What he actually finds himself doing is trying to survive the apocalypse Will he be able to survive and get back to civilization or will he be stuck in the middle of a forest with the animals and monsters? John’s character is a little hard to understand which makes him interesting for me. He is angry because he is in this position but yet he still seems to keep his cool. He is more of a loner then anything, he can be with his friends or not. I would have liked to see a little more emotion with him but he does seem to fit his role. I highly recommend reading this book. Find out what happens to John and if he ever gets back to civilization
