    Someone said that all stories are the same story except for the worlds the story takes place in and the characters that are going through it. Much of the time in litrpg the character is an experienced gamer who's familiar with the game they're in which makes the stakes in the story rather low.
    In creating his character, fontype has made a superb choice in placing a senior citizen expecting to retire to a digital nirvana and transplanting them into a game they are completely unfamiliar with. Immediately the tension is ratcheted up for this character because as much as gamers are comfortable with such tropes as dragons or skeletons animated by necromancy, he isn't familiar with such things at all. At the same time making the character a senior citizen means that they've done things in their long life that could come into play in unexpected ways. Fontype has set a beautiful table and I can't wait to see what more is on the menu!
