Synopsis
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.

Whew, what a novel! I just caught up to chapter 161 after a four day binge and I just HAD to leave a review, as it has become one of my all time favorite web novels.
First of all I have to praise the pacing of this story. It's one of the things that stands out immensely. There is never a dull moment, enough time is spent on each level, the formula is changed up frequently and there is no shortage of character development.
When it comes to character, Simon is great, because he actually develops throughout the story, and the character at chapter 1 is unrecognizable from the character at chapter 161. So don't worry if you find him obnoxious at the start, he WILL mature an learn from hiss mistakes! And don't worry he is not the only great character, so suffice to say, characters and characterization in this novel are great.
Now to talk about world building. Along with pacing probably the strongest part of this novel. In the big picture it is amazing, probably one of the best I've read when it comes to reading web novels. I won't say it's the most original or imaginative or anything, but its so well realized and lived in after 161 chapters, and in my opinion it is better than the sum of it's parts.
And I want to touch on the fact that the story is told linearly but because we jump through time from floor to floor, I'm really impressed with the author for being able to juggle it all so well. Kudos to you author.
And as is the most important part of these novels you really feel the progression of the character, improvements in his power and knowledge etc.
The only flaw that I can point out are occasional spelling mistakes and such, but those are more prevalent in the first 33 chapters or so and appear less frequently as the story progresses. And they are not so bad to take you out of the story or anything.

It is amazing, the characters, the world building and principally the character development of our protagonist. It is a must read, a pearl on the vast beach that is scribblehub.

As far as character development goes as a means of showing progression, Death After Death is a masterclass in the field. I have yet to read anything quite like it, with Mother of Learning and potentially In Loki’s Honour (both on RR) being the only two novels I can think of off the top of my head that progress similarly. How Death After Death stands out is its unique and incredible world building - at the risk of spoiling any potential readers, all I can say is that the world is simultaneously much larger and and smaller than it seems at any one point of the story. Death After Death cleverly reveals information to Simon (MC) in a way that makes his ‘Eureka’ moments coincide with the reader’s own ‘Eureka’ moments. This review may seem like a whole lot of jargon but I’m afraid that’s what happens when you want to spew positivity about a novel without spoiling it. Either way, just give it a read, you won’t regret it.
