While not terribly far into its plot, I've found this story to be very intriguing thus far. It's central premise, "what if everyone disappeared one day?", is already interesting, yet it adds mysterious twists and turns around every corner to be truly attention grabbing. I blew through this haha.

It's writing is not Ulysses, but considering it rivals most young adult novels despite being written 100 times faster I find it quite impressive. Many web serials suffer from a dry style, but this story's is fun (ny) and captures the mind of the character it's in.

Now moving on to story. Lily consistently encounters new challenges, keeping you engaged, while having enough downtime to not overwhelm and allow for character development. The central mystery draws you in and the survival aspect is consistently entertaining and realistic.

My only problem is the rather speedy pacing at the beginning of the book. It races to establish the plot without properly establishing the protagonist. The later character building truly shines, but is unfortunately ignored during the introduction.

Grammar-wise.... I don't think I've seen a single typo. Speaks for itself.

The character development is truly the highlight of this book. While the plot keeps you reading, Lily is what makes the story stick in your mind. She's a far more complex take on the stereotypical NEET archetype, rife with interesting issues to delve into, the primary of which being her intense agoraphobia. The plot works perfectly to explore this concept in detail, and I'm so excited to see more!

I highly recommend you check this out :)
