In "Apocalypse Islands," a diverse group of survivors find themselves inexplicably transported to a series of remote tropical islands, cut off from the rest of the world. Struggling to comprehend their new reality, they must face the harsh challenges of this savage environment while striving to adapt and survive.
As the survivors explore their surroundings, they discover a mysterious system which connects all living beings in this universe and offers them a range of unique abilities and skills. With the System's guidance, they embark on a journey of growth and self-discovery, navigating through quests and challenges to gain experience, resources, and new capabilities.
The islands harbor hidden secrets and treasures, scattered amidst perilous landscapes and unpredictable wildlife. From the lush tropical forests to the pristine beaches, the survivors must gather essential resources, hunt for food, and construct shelters to protect themselves from the elements and the lurking dangers.
Max Parker, a diligent civil engineering student, finds himself inexplicably transported to a remote tropical island. Struggling to comprehend his new reality, Max must navigate the challenges of this savage environment using his intellect and newfound abilities. With the aid of the System, he embraces the path of a Necro Engineer, combining dark arts, engineering, and programming to command the forces of the undead and create autonomous constructs. Max seeks answers, forges alliances, and strives to uncover the mysteries of the islands while unraveling his own inner strength, ability to delegate, and potential.
I really want to like this story. It has some fairly interesting concepts in its system, and it is very well written, which is weird for what this story actually is.
What this story is, is one of those Chinese-ish death survival games, where supposedly the entire population of the world is transitioned into separate locations and now must survive on minimal resources. The ones where missing 1-2 meals panics half the population into letting themselves be essentially mugged, and the protagonist, due to whatever their advantage is, is overflowing with just the right resources to do the mugging. Just that in this story, there is no real competition to stay alive, thus no massive deaths every 2 seconds.
If you enjoy those style stories, this will be perfect for you, might even be more enjoyable than the usual stories of this style, because this is, as I said previously, a very well written story when it comes to spelling, grammar, and all that (how well written it is when it comes to that stuff is boosting my overall rating by probably 1 to 1.5 stars by itself).
