Digby Graves was alive 800 years ago, and his memories leading up to how he ended up dying in a small boat to a zombie bite is hazy at best. So when some people find him frozen in the ice and transport him to an institute in Seattle, he's just as surprised as them to find that he has managed to spark the Zombie Apocalypse upon defrosting. And thus the story starts, Digby mastering his new skills, trying to survive in a city crawling with zombies and trying to balance his human morals with the cravings of his new zombie body.
He soon encounters some human in a drone that starts to act as his little guide in teaching him what all the weird new human inventions are. Which reminded me a little about the typical niche of dungeon cores and their assistant. But other than that I found the story rather refreshing.
The fact that a private company is dealing with this outbreak is suspicious, but what do I really know how America runs their armies or how unrealistic that actually is. But I liked the little twist that Digby wasn't that special after all, and several people had access to magic rings (and thus the litrpg system) like him!
I wasn't really sure how they could make this into a bigger story, I mean you're a zombie in an zombie apocalypse, just what is the end game here? A villain MC? I liked how they dealt with this. I liked that Digby wasn't good nor was he a villain. He got into this mess by being greedy (through the book he unlocks more and more memories on how he ended up in this mess), and now he just kinda wanna survive. He's.. what are they called? A reluctant hero? Yeah that.
I also like that the "bad guys" agenda wasn't fully revealed until the end. And while I consider said agenda a pretty common and cliché one, the first book was very much just scrambling to try to figure out wtf to do and the fact that there even WAS a bad guy to consider wasn't even revealed until way late in the book.
I also found it a pretty hilarious read. A time traveler from the past who doesn't know the least bit about technology and is going around afraid of being burned on the stake for witchcraft? He is fascinated by small changes just as much as the big ones. And I appreciated that.
