Description

Mature +18[?]------Hiatus notice, I'll be rewriting this story heavily over the coming weeks. It isn't going where I wanted it to, bare with me for awhile. Ideally, a months time, but time will tell.------Andrew Marks, among over a million, 'players,' is forcibly recruited into a game where the reality and fiction interlace. Where the slightest error will spell death. For yourself, for your new found allies, or the world. 'Choices have consequences,' is a lesson the Corporation wishes to remind people.In this new world where many fall each and every day, a man simply tries to avoid it all, yet the world isn't so kind as to let him off so easily.--------Chapters do tend to be on the longer side, well, in comparison to other fictions I've read on this site. Typically anywhere from 2500-4500 words depending on my mood at the time.In addition chapter releases are largely dependent on my mood so it should have at least two chapter released a week, however, I'll be busy for the next bit so it will be subject to change.--------Anyways, please bare in mind this is the first creative writing piece I have created with the exception of a novel I started writing just prior to this one. I'd appreciate any help or guidance you may give me to better my writing. Be it characters, background or setting, I'm quite sure there are a few loopholes.This is intended for a mature audience, viewers discretion is advised.I digress, enjoy, rate, comment, and let me know how it's treating you so far! I'll take any help I can get!

Overall
If anyone has read Hardcore-OPness or Re:Hamster and liked it, then this is probably gonna be right up your alley. There is slaughter, there is Game Elements and lots of great vulgar stuff happening left and right.
Style
If you are the type that doesn’t like to read half a page of descriptive text then this is probably for you, there is a great balance between what I call descriptive vs conversational text. Enough descriptive text to get a general idea of what is going on and without it starting to get boring.
Story
From my personal experience the story is somewhat slow progressing Story-wise not to mix with character progress. The story takes its time but without feeling like you’re stuck the same place in the story for much more than 2 chapters at a time, we get to see new stuff all the time without it seeming rushed.
Grammar
Not sure what went wrong in the first chapters, seems to be more missing words there than in the newer ones, if you can get around that, then there really isn’t much to make your eyes bleed.
Character
Andrew and really everyone in the story seem to have their own like-able personality and charisma.
There is the natural MC growth boost at first, but apart from that everything seem to take its natural course slowly as the story is progressing, again it seems natural and not forced.
Well I’m a sucker for these sorta stories, so take my review as a guideline for people that doesn’t mind gore, vulgar jokes and slaughter?
