It's too early to tell whether this will get better or worse, so 4 stars because 4 is standard. Please note this is really nitpicky because there's only 1 chapter at the time of this review. Please note there are also spoilers in this and I don't care enough to spoiler tag them.

tldr: story feels rushed, MC randomly finds a sword and gets a stronger ability because of it, MC's thoughts don't feel quite right or line up with actions. Not enough information is given to justify some actions. Reads like standard litrpg OP MC bs.

Callum is weird. He doesn't really feel human, he feels like he's executing a pre-made script, like the author's in control and not him. People don't usually narrate their worries out loud. "Pre-first-day nightmare"? No one says that. And people don't usually slap themselves in the face either, because that hurts a lot. There are a few discrepancies with the story too. How does Callum make it back to his apartment without first going through the hallway of his apartment? Did he take the fire exit or something? And how is it that he couldn't find his car but didn't realize all of the other cars in the street were missing? His plan doesn't line up with his actions: he's thinking rationally and calm, but he's going to try and get a job at a convenience store? And he randomly finds a sword while rummaging through his old clothes-- who sticks a sharp weapon (there's no scabbard apparently) in a pile of clothes? It sounds like some deus ex machina sh*t. MC suddenly has a problem, randomly finds a weapon, and gets a special class because of it. 

Some other nitpicky stuff:

Why does he keep track of the amount of time he wastes panicking? And for half an hour? He's also suspicious that floating text in front of him (when he picks up the sword) is real but accepted an apocalypse was going on so much more easily? 

A few grammar mistakes here and there, but that's being really nitpicky. "Peering his head out his apartment door, " not "at".
