Description

Benjamin is your standard guy, average grades, loyal friends, and a family who loves him. Yet, something is missing. He drifts through life, detached, haunted by a sense of wrongness he can’t explain. When a mysterious full-dive game, Astralyth Online, enters his life, everything changes. As Benjamin steps into a world beyond his own, the lines between game and reality blur. A glitch, a dream, a woman trapped in glass—Benjamin is pulled into something far darker and complicated than he imagined. What he thought was an escape will change him—body, mind, and soul—in ways he never saw coming.

This book is absolutely positively adorable and I mean that in every sense of the word. I love this story so far and I really resonate with the mc as a transfem person. The GL aspect of this so far is super cute and very wholesome. The greater plot line is also very interesting and intriguing and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Overall 5/5

Our stories will never be the most popular. Most people aren't going to be able to relate to or understand our experiences. But that's why it's so important that we tell them. It's a bit of wish fulfillment, sure, to instantly be put into the body you were always meant to have, surrounded by people who love and support you for who you are. But that part's important too. When the world at large is hostile and cold, we can tell each other stories of comfort and safety and warmth. To remember that things aren't always going to be so terrible.

I've read up to chapter 70 on scribblehub. I must say, every chapter makes me want to ignore everything around me and just read another. It's a very good novel in my opinion, and I hope more people enjoy it. There is plenty of mystery, and things left up to interpretation while all slotting in as we learn more. In fact, stop reading this and read the book.

It started off quite well, showing a twist on this trope I rarely see. That is, the mc has good friends, great parents, a generally decent life, and no apparent "problems" in school. He just feels empty. Usually the mc's have terrible parents, are bullied, have no friends, the world hates them, ect. Not that that doesn't happen, just that there are alot where people just feel... wrong. It's the usual get the FDP (full-dive pod) and begin generating you character and somthing happens that makes you end up in a girls body, spilling over into IRL. After that it seems to fall to the side. It seems to hyper-fixate on ma's emotions and give us no context as to what's actually going on in the world. We don't know anything about the game town except it has an Inn, a blacksmith, a leatherworker, a apothecary, and a guild. The Mc's home town is even less clear, just a house of vague design and a school. The writing style also seems overly descriptive, sort of stiff and wordy like AI in someplaces.

The main issue that makes this a bad story is the many times that the author uses an abstractoin to tell us about a discussion rather than having the characters actually have the discussion.
What does she talk about with her friends? Who knows?
What city is this set in? What year is it? What country?
What does the house look like? is it one story to two stories?
There are no details in this book.
A cave in a forest outside of a town... what is the name of the town? WHat direction is the cave? How far?
We know nothing about the real world nor the fictional world. We know nothing about the main character except that they feel things. We don't know why they feel things but they feel them... all the time.
