Scion of
Humanity
Book 1
If you could go back in time to before the apocalypse, what would you do?
Blake thought he was sacrificing his life to defeat the alien overlord. Instead, he somehow finds himself ten years in his past, before Earth is aware of the malicious AI threat heading its way. With a second chance to right past wrongs, he must leverage his in-depth knowledge of the AI’s system and utilize his hard-earned martial skill to accomplish his goals. He must grow strong enough to defend his people, and establish a faction capable of uniting humanity.
Follow Blake as he gains levels, recruits faction members, and expands his base of power. This is a Post Apocalyptic, LitRPG, Regression novel. Except for the occasional interlude, it is told entirely from Blake’s point of view. Town-building features heavily in this story, however, does not begin until he is able to establish his faction. This story does not contain a harem, but will eventually feature minimal romance.
Three chapters will be released per week, MWF.

Returner with realistic plan, abilities and outlooK
Nice premise of the story. System so far seems balanced and exploits are within reason.
I especially like that he does not plan to save everyone, but as many as he can. Far too many stories start with the premise of a gary stu saving humanity. In this case we are watching a hardent man trying his best in a dismal situation when he comes back from far in the future. He does not remember things you would not know from last year such as the lottery numbers from the last year. But when he does there is a reason.

I really loved this.
This gives the proper vibes of a hero going back in time. Really captures the right feel of a hero going back in time.
It has a nice mix of characters and a uniquish magic system which is always refreshing. I totally devoured the book and will also indulge and get the patreon for a period. Well done.

Don't Start if You're in a Rush, You Won't Stop!
Anyone who reads will definitely say that Scion of Humanity is shaping up to be one of the next big hits on this platform. With a unique take on regression, a hooking plot that reels you in, crystal clear writing, and sharp dialogue, sprinkled with the humor and descriptions of the author, makes it a joy to read from start to finish.
The side characters and the MC are great. The story flows smooth like butter and is very well-paced, not to mention the polish on it all. I would highly recommend the story to anyone.

Action packed numbers go BRRRR!
I love it! Action packed from the get go, the leveling, bonuses, items and tactics are satisfying in the extreme! I also heave a weakness for base building so very much looking forward to that! I appreciate the detailed fights and realistic feeling weight of the combat. I’m constantly on the edge of my seat as I read the next life and death struggle the MC goes through to speed run his goals.

Very Good.
It's one of the best Litrpg novels on this site for me: enjoyable side characters and a good Main Character. Honestly, the story has huge potential, I Can't wait to see where it goes. The system is fleshed out and base building is great if done right. The MC is not too OP.

So far, so good!
I wish I had spare money to read ahead on the Patreon, it’s a very “can’t wait till the next chapter drops” kinda book. I like that the author does post almost daily. The characters so far are interesting, the MC seems level headed and thus far it’s about action and family. Not, let’s introduce female here for love interest which so many of these novels seem to do. Yeah I hate that.
cant wait till the system arrives and the faction gets built, hoping the action ramps up even further.
