Description

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if gaming returned to a simpler time? A time when you didn’t get nickel and dimed the instant you booted up the game?

Jim found a nice solution to this little problem. He's the ace researcher at a state of the art technology company that is very close to unlocking realistic virtual reality. Not only sight and sound, but feel, taste and touch! It will be just like the real thing!

But being the epic nerd that he was, Jim had recently figured out the key to unlocking full simulation VR. Not only that, but he figured out how to install software inside his own head. Too bad he got fired because he locked himself in his office for the past two weeks without talking to anyone while on his discovery spree. Whatever, it's vacation time!

What should he do first? Make his noggin into the ultimate computer? Develop the next generation of VR games? Make the next VR-MMORPG to end all VR-MMORPGs?

Nah. Jim decided to revamp an old classic 16 bit RPG and see what his state of the art equipment will transform it into. Jim is going on an epic journey through his own special 3D new game plus version of his favorite old 2D game. It was time to kick some formerly pixel butt and install his new but old game right inside his head!

After all, what could go wrong with installing a video game straight into your noggin?

Overall neat piece of work, it's definitely the gooodstuff. There aren't many VR like stories I find likeable, but this is one of them.
Style
Decent, not too sophisticated, doesn't waste your time.
Story
Really creative. It could go anywhere.
Grammar
No big flaws, up to standards.
Character
Great characters. I would give the story some more time to let them develop.

First of all I like the scenario. It is new and unique and can become reallyreally cool. While it isn't a parodie of RPG-genre it has tendencies in that particular direction that give the overpowered (but underleveled) MC a kind of depth that makes this enyoable. I can't determine how 'real' the game really is, so the 'goodness' of the whole story is uncertain because this scenario between real and not real is a tricky on. But till now grammer is more than decend and all flows good. So pls author-san keep going.

The main characters an idiot and and yet the world he is in is not. It's well thought out so far if you can suspend disbelief. The world is unfolding as engaging and there is actual moral thought on the repercussions of his actions and effects on the world. There are actual consequences to his actions and much room to develop. If the author can make it less about how op mc is and more on the social moral and interpersonal instead of just a pure power fantasy this could be really good, or it could be generic power fantasy and really not. Too early to say which but I'm intrigued and will keep reading.
