After three decades, Simon's life isn't what he hoped it would be. Taking his destiny into his own hands he decides to find another world where he can be the hero he was always meant to be. It turns out there's more to combat than having lightning reflexes with his controller though, and the path to being a hero is more brutal than he can imagine. Death after Death is a dark, sardonic take on the Isekai genre with roguelike elements. It explores some of the common tropes in a different light.

Off to a great start.
Death after death offers the full package: good writing, good characterisation and an interesting premise.
Though there are only 6 chapters out at the time of this review, each of them contributes significantly to the progress of the story, and leaves room for worldbuilding, as we descend the dungeon with the protagonist.
There are no significant grammatical errors and there is a good flow to the writing
While the premise of get sent to another world after death isn't exactly new, the are distinguishing factors here such as the rogueliie deathloop, meaning death is not just possible, it is the default state of things. The protagonist gets folded byost new threats at least once, but he does learn from his mistakes, so there is a tangible sense of improvement throughout.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who has read too many crappy cliche fantasy isekais and wants something new and interesting.
