Caelus Online.

In September of 2027 the fantasy VRMMORPG Caelus Online was released, becoming the most popular game of the year and taking the world by storm.

Three months after launch the world was shaken as those who played Caelus online found their previous selves changed into their in-game characters with access to all their abilities and skills.

With the arrival of magic upon earth, Monsters soon followed bringing chaos and destruction in their wake. Earth had to navigate the complexities of its own global politics while facing an invasion threatening to leave nothing but rubble in its wake should the world not adapt.

On the 27th of December, the world underwent the First Great Upheaval.

****

Chester, a young man descended from the old English aristocracy, had lived through three years of the world sending him trials. After leaving University, his parents unfortunately passed on after being involved in an accident, leaving him to take the burden of the family Conglomerate upon his young shoulders.

After emerging from the first trial, he was met with the Great Upheaval, forced to navigate through the turmoil of the changing world.

The three years of his efforts found his life ending at the tip of a spear, thrown by an unknown assailant.

Unexpectedly waking up with a massive hangover, Chester found himself back in 2027 before all the chaos started. With knowledge of his past experiences to guide him, he began to prepare for when the world once again found itself at the mercy of The Great Upheaval.

However, the Upheaval would not be the only challenge he would need to face as a consequence of his unplanned trip to the past would see the gods needing to change his body and soul, his existence becoming that of a stunningly beautiful woman, flipping Chester's world upside down once again.

Realising that he, now she, had to go through this for the god's entertainment, she resolved to make the most of this second chance and the opportunities it presented her, while trying to reach for those gods who were now enjoying her newfound struggles.

A/N

This novel follows the perspective of Chester, Now Aurora, as she navigates through the chaos of a game that impacts reality scenario. She will be overpowered and will trample anyone who tries to get in her way. This work also takes a realistic approach to how the world would react within the setting, considering things like international politics, Economics, and how society would react.

Don't be scared about the "gender bender" tag in that story.
I really know why people started to looked negative at the "Gender-Bender" tag in the "royal-road" story's. I liked to read them for the fun factor. At some point I always had to skip those. Always the focus of the "LGBT" stuff as there were no cis people anymore. Other "gender bender" stories are only about the libido of there characters and gender focused, even if there should be other problems they find themselves in.
This story is different!
The MC and his friends are realistic characters that have to deal with the stuff the Autor throws at them. How normal intelligent adult people would deal with that stuff. There are no libido driven perverted people in that story or discussions about which pronoun to use to talk to someone because there feelings could get hurt if you make a mistake.
So what do you get here:
1) good written realistic adult characters.
2) good world building with extra chapters to get insight to the gamers community, that also compliment the MC. The trolls and stupid gamers you find in your MMO games are also there with good realism.
3) while action and leveling is the main focus you also find the building of a business imperium on the side note with friendship and betrayal. Hints to more complex stuff are also to find in the story so far.
4) realistic intelligent characters and friend community.
5) not OP, but strong and intelligent MC and friends.
What you don't get:
1) focus on the "LGBT" community pronoun stuff and co.
2) focus on sexual stuff or libido driven Teen characters.
3) extreme focus on "blue" boxes and mindless leveling.
That are my impressions of the story so far.

The main character is reborn in the past and can thus correct his past mistakes.
However, a few days later the gods transform him into a woman due to the space-time effects of his journey into the past.
Which is why the main character, among other things, is under a lot of psychological stress and has to fight his way through the new virtual world with his friends.
I really like the story, so please more chapters!

Caelus online is nice - good writing, interesting characters and a story that flows well so far. Nothing major that I can complain about. I guess there needs to be a better motivation/reason for all the protagonist's actions though; she seems to be trying to get stronger because the game integrates to reality and she wants to find out who killed her, but that isn't really too compelling though.
Anyways, keep up the great work. I've never read a VRMMORPG novel that I considered top tier and doesn't get dropped so I hope this is the case for this story.

Sincerely the story in general is similar to all of the genre, Game becomes reality causing much chaos, the protagonist dies and returns to the past with the special touch of the change of gender. This in itself has nothing wrong and if you like this genre here you will find it.
Now, what is different from other stories? Well, for starters, the main character doesn't try to hide the fact that he has gone back in time or the gender change from his companions.
I loved this and it is one of the biggest frustrations that other protagonists of other stories of this genre have always caused me.
Another thing that I liked (personally) is that this story focuses a lot on the physical and mental changes of the protagonist (the gender bender) and how the companions try to help her with the changes. Although I would also like to mention that sometimes it can be a bit tedious and slows down the flow of the story (chapters of shopping, a chapter for makeup or excessively long monologues), in general I liked this part.
Lastly, I would like to mention what I personally don't like about this story, which I admit is good. What I don't like is the personality of the protagonist, I personally like characters that are generally ambitious and somewhat selfish but in the story we have the personality of a hero (or a neutral alignment good) who tries to selflessly carry the responsibility of protecting the world on his shoulders.
For me it is a 3.5/5, a pretty good story with different touches to other novels of the genre, +18 content and good fights but sometimes a little slow and tedious while I add the fact that the protagonist is a heroine (annoying me) lowers the note a little for me.
