My DEAD End Job

Very straightforward, but effective. I'm happy to say that the overall pacing and the character of Alan is implemented well. It's refreshing to see a protagonist who does indeed have a tragedy of his own but it doesn't revolve him being another bullied orphan going on a power fantasy. Admittedly the plot truly happens after 2 or 3 chapters (the main one), which felt as fast as a bullet train, but at least there's some interesting hook to the first chapter, and also a reasonable amount of buildup to understand the overall situation of what is going on. Although power is the case of this novel here, I appreciate the author's efforts at Alan trying to get used to this new life from level 1 (literally speaking). Hopefully we do get to see a more reasonable buildup of his character, physically and mentally. I can't say much for Alan but I will say his overall character is believable. Too many protagonists take their new status for granted once they die or something along those lines, Alan doesn't. He acts like what a realistic person would: react in surprise and horror (but not too much and not overly swearing). I do like to see more of the world though, sure we saw Alan in his initial phase prior to him being a Reaper, but hopefully as the story goes on, we get to see more instances of the world this book is set in. So far so good. Keep on writing.
