- phuang2001Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0What an engaging and fun story. Highly recommend
- ThjaziRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Not an OP MC story. Not a rich guy. The MC feels like someone l've met before. Not a specific someone but more of a sense of a realistic human you could have met before. A lot of MC's are little more than sociopaths grinding away and then becoming popular due to their power in a video game. Exactly how are they anyone's friend? They're the kind of people you "accidentally" leave off the happy hour invitation list because none of you will enjoy it in their company.
This MC is the sort you could share a drink with. If he was real.
Thanks for the wonderful read. Hope you write more for this and Sieze the Sky in the future. - TolackRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I just wanted to say that I like this story a lot and I don't want to see this dropped ever, so keep up the good work! Thanks for the chapters!

- IgfryRoyal Road★★★★ 4.045 playable races and you chose human.
Just disappointing.
Edit: I like the class. Disappointed with the race, but class is great. Have 4 stars. - FrustratedEgoRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Lets start here, I liked it, and I recommend it as a good piece in the whole "Virtual Reality but not," style of story. Is it the best? Not without another 50 chapters - simply because it's hard to say if the quality still stay or at what point the story line will trip whatever mental triggers people have.
So, from here forth we shall lay out the critical eye.
The story itself starts in a very confusing way. We get the feeling of memory loss transported to another world - until we see a POV switch. At that point we learn it's really a VRMMO beta test with a machine that can mess with peoples memories. We don't get into the absolute hinkiness of this until later (Vol 2, Ch 18) - so there's that bit of 'well fork, the world is screwed, evil corporate overlord!' standard setting which irks me something fierce.
Lets add in to that the whole PvP guild killers money equals power in game pay to win nonsense. I swear this part irks me the most. There's enough bleeding hearts out there that like, 20 people would band together and proceed to gut all people who try to rule a region. I mean really, that's got to piss people off right? Or is there just acceptance that "eh, yeah, some jerk PvP guild will try to own this" - maybe they do that in Guild Wars? I don't know! But pain hurts! Why would anyone try to own some area at the risk of virtual guttings from some sneaky assassin over and over for a month?
Alright - logic aside. There's a few typos. Most of them are easy to bypass and don't hamper the story. There's one entire chapter where the BB code is so messed up (probably an align tag closed at the wrong spot) - and it takes the entire chapter out of the pretty black / white background and plants it on the actual picture making it impossible to read. That one is the WORST part - on a chapter that should be important with the character returning to the game after beta.
Game play / world wise, there's a lot of fun little items thought out. I get kind of conflicted seeing all - jlkcRoyal Road★ 0.5I get what the author is trying to do but he takes it too far time and time again by ignoring logical progression for the sake of the plot. I really want to enjoy the story without having to constantly suspend my disbelief.
