Eight books in, the best series in the genre still has no obvious bad guy. The officials are middlemen. The syndicates are shareholders. The one candidate with the body count is a machine that was manufactured to produce exactly this outcome, and lately it has begun acting like something that had a say in it.
Versus
The two System-apocalypse series the genre keeps recommending in the same breath: Shirtaloon's He Who Fights with Monsters and Zogarth's The Primal Hunter. Both start with an Earth office worker, both make you earn Book 1, and both land in our top tier. So which one gets your next credit?

Versus
