    If you've read post apocalypse mansion then you should know it's different from this though the premise is kinda similar (ie telaported to post-apocalypse world and profit from selling stuff there). The MC here is naive and a pushover. He doesn't haggle or bargain to look for a better offer due to his laziness. Sorry but I can't stand reading it any further seeing how he doesn't seem to have any sense aside from the lucky drop he got from the initial start.. Wouldn't recommend unless you are into beta male MC. Quite sad because the tags seemed like he actually had a pair.

    Lazy, unstructured and dissapointing.

    The novel relies heavily on a few factors, 1, never question the protagonists development disorder, he has a vast series of medical conditions preventing him from even acting above the age of 10 let alone actually developing properly as a teenager or better yet an adult. 2, this setup is used solely to mask the fact the author didn't want to put any effort into masking the blatant "traffic lights" dictating how the story flows. Nothing ever progresses or evolves, it just "happens" when the author decides the light changes. Bam, red light, something bad happens. Then green like it gets fixed, red, green, red etc. 

    The protagonist goes into fallout, gets a pip-boy with like presidential level access and an AI or something? Pretty useless in an apocalypse sure but the MC also manages to return to our world with said cheats. Now we get to see our child in an adults body utilise the power of such a thing in our technology ridden world to practically play God, he's basically untouchable and can just have money and power fall out of thin air into his lap at the snap of hi- oh wait no, red light. 

    The author randomly decides the MC develops an extra mental disorder here and just goes into the fallout world to use it? This makes so little sense it's actually insulting, not only is the author insulting his own work by refusing to try any harder but he's insulting us by thinking we wouldn't notice how lacking of a decision it is. It's so low I can't even call it a bad decision, it's not a decision, that wasn't a consideration or an option just a mistake. 

    The only thing even remotely of value from the fallout world might be medical technology, stimpacks and other medical supplies borderline magic in the fallout world and canonically I can recall some people being cured of cancer, none of it is soooo advanced that you need to rush in with just a few basic guns and scramble to find it thoug- oh he just goes in by himself and totally unarmed. Sick. 

    I could continue but that's the basic premise for everything as far as I could tell, it's just a series of insults the author came up with to make the readers feel like they're being punished for clicking on this novel. I gave it 2 instead of lower because the grammar was fine for the most part and the interactions between his family were believable when his disorders weren't sticking themselves out. 

    A rewrite or atleast a heavy edit would make this novel good since all the foundational concepts are there and thankfully it seems that the real issues are easily fixed. Remove the weird disorders the protagonist has, it's not endearing for the MC to have an unnamed disease that make him act insufferably childlike especially when it's just glossed over like it doesn't exist. Either remove his abrupt decision to go back to the fallout world or prompt him with something, have him read some scrappy old newspapers before he jumps back about some medical information, or have the pip boy give him overviews of the medical wing of whatever facility it's from for example.

    This story is frustrating. Let me say it again: This story is damn frustrating. 

    While the premise is interesting, and the style and pacing are really good, the story is going to make you want to punch the author in the face. 

    This fiction relies heavily on a principle that I will call double-deus-ex-machina. Not only will the protagonist be saved from difficult situations by his plot armor, but he will also get into trouble out of nowhere. This creates a cycle that will leave your head spinning. Trouble comes out of nowhere, while the solution is just as unlikely. However, all of that would be bearable if not for the feeling of impotent rage that slowly builds inside you while you read how the MC is tossed around by the whims of fate while completely unable to do anything right. 

    For example, he gets a cheat code that would allow him to solve all his problems in the first couple of chapters, but he never uses it properly. Similarly, all the sh*t he gets himself into is a direct result of him making stupid decisions for no reason. 

    Halfway through book three the story has become unreadable to me.

    The most garbage teleporting to another world novel I have ever read. The MC stupidity is abysmal high. The development is so bad, if one good this happens then it is followed by a 1000 bad things. Every chapter it keeps getting worse. He got like the greatest technology that world has produced and doesn't use half of the time.

    Got beaten, robbed and almost murdered by raiders and he is still trying to make there life better. Like if you saw the tags and thought oh this looks like a nice novel then please turn back as it is all a bait. The tags should be beta MC, coward MC, negative IQ MC and what not to if you get teleported to another world.

    A character is only as smart as the author, if you read Mansion in the Apocalypse, you've read this.

    The first couple of chapters the main character seem smart but very quickly, devolves into a f**king idiot. If you were here for smut, don't bother, it's not in the first 30 chapters. But you know what it is in the first 30 chapters? Like six chapters of loan shark bullsh*t, A sixth chapter trope. With loan sharks.

    I'm surprised the kid doesn't have necromantic assassin powers with a one-handed dagger build. You get what I mean. He's an idiot, and there is nothing new here. If you're here for smut tag or incest tag or any of that. You're not going to find it here. Those were bait

    It's kinda like the fallout games with a MC that can travel between worlds to make money, I dont feel it so dramatic like fallout but I like pretty much the world building. I find the novel pretty enjoyable and light.

    It was fine until vol 3 chapter 26, but from then on everything becomes chaos, I throw the initial rules imposed at the beginning of the novel overboard. And the characters get sillier with each chapter.

    The MC can go in and out between both worlds and keeps everything a perfect secret, but then everyone finds out and they can go to the MC's world? It loses all the magic and narrative.

    I like the story. Sad for the hiatus but I felt like it ended satisfactorily.
