In a world of gray predictability, Kei had settled into a routine that felt never-ending. Every day, Kei wished for something — anything — to change. But when the apocalypse answered, it wasn’t the change he had expected. Instead of sending a forewarning, the apocalypse came crashing like a tidal wave. As chaos unfurled, Kei had to choose between being consumed by despair or embracing the change and finding his destiny amidst the end.

Great story. It really reminds me of the old stories I used to like to read, I think I will keep this one on my reading list! Your story development and background development is great - I like how the 'stats' update with each completed action. Keep going!

Quality-wise, the novel has no problems. I don't think I noticed a single thing that put me out of the novel. So that's a big plus already.
As for the story, as a survival genre novel, it as the advantage of starting in a tense situation, so it's always easy to get hooked. I also liked how quickly the MC 'adapted' and how the skipped over the usually slow process of accepting reality.
But at the same time, that's kind of a minus, because in the first chapter, you made it seem like the MC is really not that guy. He's kind of a loner loser, and I also felt that the part about defaming the mural and then getting shunned was a bit overdramatic.
If it's not like the MC having a doppelganger or something and/or if it's relevant later in some way, I'd change it.
Of course, this counts as nitpicking, so don't take it to heart too much.
The speed of improving also felt nice, but if it's always this fast, maybe it'll feel a bit underwhelming? I felt the stakes lowering a bit due to the easy 10 levels and how much power it gave, but due to the Elite being 15 and being that much stronger than the MC, it felt a bit better.
Anyhow, it's a nice read. Would recommend

So I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do, which is much less a flaw of the writer and more so my usual dislike for RPG-style books, but this is really great. The first few chapters are a little slow, but by Chapter 3 things really get up and going and it's a really lovely jaunt through the post-apocalyptic tulips!
