Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Story
"Kill. Kill them all." It's the first four words Lars usually wakes up to every morning, a voice telling him she's just giving him a "quest" that will help him "level". But even if he wanted to do it, he can't. They're cultivators: beings with ancestral bloodlines that have powers he could only dream of, while he is stuck as a puny human. Even if he could kill them, the people who bullied him, beat him, treated him like a punch-bag pariah for being a "tailless worthless human", he wouldn't. That is, until a vicious group of murderous psychopaths called a "sect" descend on his village.

High school academy
- By A.E. Perkins on 12-10-24
By: Kal Griffith
the mc is smart, practical, reliable, driven and strong. (all good things imo. I hate weak, stupid, over dramatic, or whiney mcs)
it's single character focused (so no multiple povs here which is also good).
I read a review that said the last 3 hours was cliche but honestly there is only a couple hundred of these reborn litrpgs (not to be mistaken for *isakia* not sure if I spelled that right but anyway the two are very different even though I love those to) out there and I've read them all so I don't think there is such a thing as cliche in this genre yet.
book recommendations similar to this...

I love Jakob tanners work and Steve Campbell bringing it to life. they work very well together.
we have a couple of similar books to this one. Mc gets chosen, goes back to save what will be lost, we find out things that happen as book progresses.
this one was a bit different lit style as they don't necessarily gain levels but skills do, the people gain ranks almost cultivation style which does happen with mana.
one thing I always love is a hp system as it puts life on edge a bit when you see them hurt.
the big one for this is as far as I know there are no healers... just items to help with that so fighting the enemies and dungeon gates has a bit more of a threat to them then our usual lit books.
some things I had trouble with at first get explained later in the book so that was a bonus but I'm sure can throw some people off. I won't go into details as spoilers but I will day stick with it! I do really enjoy this book.
my one biggest gripe was dual wielding swords. I can get over it as they have a strength Stat and agility making it seems more possible as how unwieldy that would be... but again fantasy book I can let it slide.
all in all good read/listen and can't wait to hear 2nd one.
no harem but love interests and funny characters a plenty.
time travel lit!
