    I've only read one chapter lol but I got to say that the author has put a lot of effort into this series. First of all the chapters are really long which indicates that the author is serious about this series and second the writing and grammar are good. Maybe a few words spelled wrong, like trails which the author probably meant trials. but the story is very good.

    Pretty solid story & enjoyable read. Good cliffhanger at end for the lead into sequels. MC was pretty believable for his real life & in game.
    Very interesting takes on how to find hidden classes & on the mage class itself. I haven't read anything until now with that mage class. Actually seems quite versatile in what can do & it has a nice restriction so it doesn't make the MC stupid OP right away.
    The take on the AI system is interesting as well. Nice to see one not extremely hateful to the MC or it's creators. Not it's fault the programmers didn't think of one line of code before things happened that cant be undone.
    Waiting to see how they'll get out of the mess they got into.

    Was not a big fan of Virtual Reality LitRPG because at some point in the story they become cliche and predictable some don't but most do, some overuse story time just so the mc can get a power-up so he can battle it out with antagonist and win or maybe do some trial for him to overcome or maybe some Arena/Battle Ark. You can't find that in this story so far but I don't see it going there at all just because the way it is setup and presented form the start. Anyway to the review
    The Style is great no problems there some with the Grammar, the Character Score for me is spot on so far the characters are some of the best for me at least and the story is great so far, so to end the review I'll recommend Fortuitous Mage even if you're not a big fan of Virtual Reality LitRPG because I don't like them either but this one is an exemption for me so ill recommend Fortuitous Mage to you even if you don't like Virtual Reality LitRPG.
    Is exemption the word I'm looking for right now??? (And Yes This Is Some Good Virtual Reality Stuff)

    Really solid story & now I'm unfortunately invested and can't wait to see how it ends. MC was believeable most of the time too.
    Loved the sense of discovery with the unique classes. would've loved to see more coming out of professions - unique effects on his patchwork robe for example, or getting enchantments done.
    Hope we see more :)
