  Love the story only reason I'm commenting is the half of book one is missing from the page. I've read it before so I don't mind skipping it but new readers will be extremely confused. Book one stops at chapter 5.

  I really enjoy this story. Sometimes I become frustrated with it but it's a refreshing take on a well-used trope. I look forwards to seeing more of this in the future though I am not entirely sure of how it will develop and there might be a real risk of the story taking a turn for the worse. But hopefully that won't happen and until then I will devotedly keep reading. The main issue with this story is that it's not a story I feel like reading all the time whenever it comes out like I do with many other fictions. Instead I tend to save a few chapters up until I get the urge to read Deck and then I read through them in one go.

  If patience isn't your strong suite this title may be hit or miss for you.
  Pros:
  -Attention to detail, grammer, and world building
  -Female MC
  -LitRpg that shares space with the real world
  -Slow pacing for explorer type readers, think of it as a high versus low resolution image, Far more data sage, but outstanding quality of work.
  Cons:
  -Alice is indeed in Wonderland. So optimistic I want her to die already.
  -Slow pacing. Not really a con for me at all though, just people who are skimmers or casuals might have trouble jumping in. Think (Change: New World)
  -Tsundere Cerys is Tsundere.. Nuff said
  -Idris isn't a Vampire. Bches love Vamps.
  End.
  PS: HUGOLEOFER, if you read the tags it has romance, as does her other 5 or six books. Are you casual?

  Ten chapters in, and I'm going to be sticking around until the end. There are no grammatical errors, the characters all have depth, and the sexual tension is done perfectly. Dialogue is realistic and flows well. The overall premise has been done before, but there is enough of a twist to make it unique.

  Yes, the title is intentionally "over the top" and Yes, I really do think so.
  To be clear this is NOT a Story you read 2 Chapters and you can get a feel for it if you don't enjoy the slower pace you should probably not start it at all. (How you wouldn't like a properly written, detailed and fleshed out Story instead of other rushed and undetailed once is beyond me but hey have fun!)
  Here is my point: I finally get to enjoy a story again instead of just "rushing through" lamenting the MC to be super "dense" as it is often with today's "web novels" "translations" and other stuff in the GameLit genre. I think it's getting really repetitive really fast what isn't necessarily a bad thing. What is a bad though is that more often than not it isn't well thought through or the "game rules" get bent to make it more interesting. And don't get me all like but in case of "translations" its a different country *mememe* they have other writing styles ... I don't care.
  So after annoying a good bunch of ppl with a personal statement that has nothing to do with this review let's get going ...
  The story is beautifully written with many little details and a nice fitting slow pace. The characters are really fleshed out you'll be easily able to get into it to start hating characters, enjoying the joys of them and get annoyed at the author being a tease in some points. xD
  Point is you get into it to a point you really feel with the characters and that alone makes the story better than many many others.
  I love the characters even if (or rather because) sometimes I just want to grab and shake them to get there act straight. This just means they are done so damn well I can get into it that way :)
  Guess that it from me .. Or is it!? Yea it is.
  Thank you Luciferia for Dic... Deck of Souls!

  The story is professional written and is from an overall view pretty intriguing. The author manages quickly to make us feel with the protagonist. This is normally something good, but in this case makes the disturbing things that the protagonist sees and feels way to close and uncomfortable for me. I don't know why almost all of the novels in which rape, forced prostitution and other situations where the protagonist helplessly has watch or experience similar occurrences, has been written by female authors. I personally think it is more disturbing for male readers. Depending on the group the author wants to target with her work this may need adjustment to not get the reader overly emotionally involved in such bad feelings.

  Amusing but not amazing. The novel seemed much more intresting as a VRMMO concept with a unique take on the genre but after the introduction of a set of warring gods and a forced position as a Hero... It goes downhill fast, I must give praise for presentation and world building but in my opinion the plot needs work.

  The Good
  This is well written generally speaking. There are no major grammatical issues and the prose is above average for this site. I really liked this until about halfway through what had been posted to date.
  The Bad
  Towards the later chapters at the time of this review, the book shifts from an action/world focus to a fixation on the demon king hitting on the MC.
  The whole plot line about the demon king having a harem to save the women from a bad treaty is absurd too. If the world is advanced enough to have treaties like that, such a glaring loophole would have been addressed when it was first drafted, or the humans would have threatened war again if the demons kept exploiting it.

  Review until chapter 18. Story baits us with fantasy/drama/action tag but it isn’t. Prologue was interesting albeit long, with interesting premise of ultra realistic VRMMO which is actually another world(when you play you get transported into a faux body). MC depicted as strong female lead, chief of a famous guild, responsible for intelligent strategies and builds. She evens creates the best 97 builds before joining the game and we get excited to know which she’ll pick and how her guild will fare.
  The ‘game’ world is dark with demon vs humans war story line, with slavery, rape and other despicable acts, and we wait for the MC to choose a side and start developing the story, but it doesn’t happen.
  Story gets convoluted really fast with gods choosing making her as a champion for the human or demon race even before she starts playing and she’ll live the game without being able to go back to earth. Sure, great, sounds cool, let’s go. But instead we get several chapters of intense flirting and dating in real world with the MC and a suitor from the game world that gets transferred to earth just because he asked for it?! Sigh...
  Nothing really happens aside for flirting and the suitor being in awe for earth’s technology. There’s also some info dump but for the most part it’s just meaningless dialogue. MC goes from strong independent woman to a ‘tsundere’ and weak girl that need protecting. Demon king has multiple personalities going from berserker who attacks other demons in middle of war for stupid reasons to random playboy that flirts and tries to bang the MC every single line.
  I slugged through chapter 11 to 18 and decided to drop because it was just too boring and inconsistent. In Chap 18 she was still outside the ‘game’ world making yet another tour in her city(and it was still day 2 from 7 for said tour). Felt bad since the grammar, writing skills and premise were quite good, but this feels more like a love story/soap opera.

  IO fully understand the contractual obligation to take down 90% of the first book (Fateseal) upon publishing to Amazon, but seeing that notification right up at the front made me turn away before even reading the first chapter. knowing that 90% of the critical first book is sitting behind a paywall and that what is present is just a teaser just makes me shake my head and walk away to find another book to read.
