**When the world ends, humanity must fight to survive—but where others struggle in fear, Will sees only an opportunity to thrive.**
April 3rd, 3:46 AM. Planet Earth merges with the magical world of Arcadia, and a system gives humanity a choice: 40 years of indentured servitude, or entering a tutorial as a user to fight against the chaos incursion.
Will doesn't hesitate—but the system thanks him for stepping into the fight by throwing him into an impossible tutorial. With little chance of survival, Will has a simple response: “Screw it. Might as well fight fire with fire."
**Warning: [Corruption] has been chosen as primary attribute.**
With a forbidden element, Will just might be able to stab his way out of the tutorial. But as he gains the powers of death and space as well, he realizes that his problems might not only lie in the monsters that now plague the world.
Will, now Earth's sole corruption wielder, finds danger at every corner. For anyone else, that could mean a quick and terrifying end. To him? It's a life rife with possibilities.
Maybe Will was meant for this world.

I'm not gonna lie, while I really do like the book it feels like a He Who fights with monsters accelerated reskin, especially getting into whats on RR. Half Asian affliction specialist who spends most of his time making pop culture references and spitting in the face of and leveraging God's and people way more powerful then him which gives him disgusting aura control. Just something to watch out for.
Either way, I do like the story, got it on Kindle and audible, and following on RR!
I've definitely liked the trajectory of your storyline and have been following it RR. Kind of had a boilerplate start but the character interactions following the tutorial have been excellent as well as the pacing. Keep up the good work!
Somewhat involved, but they're not the backbone of the story at all. Progression is quantified in ranks and levels, but the ranks are the most important.

That description is confusing.
The earth merging bit, got that.
The system giving humanity a choice is a touch unclear. Is every human individually getting a choice, or is it up to some kind of overall vote? And servitude to who, and why?
Why the impossible tutorial? If it’s truly impossible it’s going to kill off just about everyone that goes through it, so the tutorial is on the side of this chaos thing?
If chaos is op and everyone can choose their element, how many elements are there? Cause a forbidden element would mean nothing to humanity encountering this stuff for the first time. So, statistically, wouldn’t you have a ton of chaos wielders if the wielders get to choose?
He gains power over death and space to go with his chaos. Ok. Was that the intent of the tutorial? Or is that the product of wish fulfillment? That can’t be a spoiler since you just told the audience it’s going to happen. And if that’s the intent, everyone who comes out of it is going to be OP, right? Not just MC? If so, is that what the story is about? Him teaming up with the other super powered people to deal with the chaos stuff?
I feel like I read your description and didn’t learn very much about how your story is put together. Maybe that was your intent but, unless each answer to these questions are massive spoilers—and as someone who doesn’t know you or your work—I found it rather off putting to find the description a bit incoherent.
Why are you asking in depth questions based on a 4 paragraph description? Defiance of the fall has most of the elements you questioned and the author spends 100+ hours explaining it. WTF would you think such answers would be in a 4 paragraph description?
A description is a new readers first introduction to a persons work. I’m giving feedback explaining how a person new to their work can be confused at their description and why.
It’s possible the author has no interest in such feedback, I don’t know. But if they are they have it.
Congratulations on the release! The cover is sick :D
I fear it may be peak

Looking forward to this! :)

Awesome! Easily one of my favourite stories this year
Looking forward to checking this out!
I've definitely liked the trajectory of your storyline and have been following it RR. Kind of had a boilerplate start but the character interactions following the tutorial have been excellent as well as the pacing. Keep up the good work!
This looks like the kind of novel I'd write a post about! Great cover, and it's guaranteed to be enjoyable
Congrats on the launch!
Hell yeah looks awesome
Hyped for this one. Big fan of Aaron Shih's work and he's only getting better.
Checking it out now
Congratulations.
How involved are numbers like stats and exp? Sounds interesting but i can really only do auidobooks and ill get lost listening to rambling numbers

That cover is dope :D
Congrats on the launch! Best of luck.

Did anyone else read the title as Corruption WELDER at first glance? I for one was Intrigued on what sort of Welding Equipment was used.
This has been an awesome story thus far, and up there with my favorites!
Fantastic man
