Description

Welcome to the Great Savanna!

Explore hidden adventure within expansive grasslands, protect the unique race known as Martyrs, and discover the Legends of the Great Savanna.

Martyrs are a unique type of creature. They are born as tall as you or me and grow to twice our size. When they are cubs, their fur is the same golden brown as Savanna grass. Playful at heart, Martyr cubs prowl and hunt like humanoid lions. When they reach adulthood, their features harden. They begin walking on two feet, making it easier to handle the weight of their Ancient Oaths.

James is a normal type of human; short on cash, and desperately trying to build a life for himself. His parents died when he was a young teen, leaving only his little brother Michael behind. They made it through together, but James knew they would never have a comfortable life. So when the military approached him with a high paying contract, James couldn’t refuse. That was how he became the first person ever to enter a fully immersive virtual reality world.

Join James as he saves the life of a rambunctious Martyr cub, is adopted into their clan, and uses magical spells and abilities to help his new family grow from a small band of survivors on the run, into what they once were: ancient and powerful protectors of the Great Savanna.

Wow, I wasn't sure about this at first but man did the story picks up in a big way.
The characters are realistic and memorable. Grammar was good, but I wish there where more colored items based on their rarity. The only reason I didn't give 5+ stars for the story is because it took awhile to develop. Totally worth it though!

From the 5 chapters that are released so far I can say that I will keep reading. Would have given 5 stars if the editing was better and the author didn't leave so much to my imagination - just needs a tad bit more detail.
Havn't seen the MOBA elements yet but I am excited for that.

Through chapter 10.
This is one of the best constructed LitRPG's on the site. The grammar is by no means flawless, but the work shows an experienced and well planed mind behind the content. The style and scope are tight and consistent and the characters are well developed. The story loses some points for lack any particularly novel or captivating moments, but maintains steady enough pacing that this can be easily overlooked if you're a fan of the genre.
I'm not a fan of most LitRPG's, and I find myself considering following this one (which is about as strong of an endorsement is you can get from me). There is a bit of an over reliance on what I'm coining as "deus ex calculo machina," or an overriding desire to hang the narrative on needlessly detailed/sysadmin/stats exposition. I note that complaint is common to the genera, so if you like LitRPG's, you should certainly check this one out.

I have started reading book 2 and am enoying it as much as I did book 1. There are a few minor editting issues that need addressing. For example, twice the author meant to say "peeked" but typed "peaked". The issues are not enough to really distract from a well written story, just one of my pet peeves.

Why such a high score despite saying I couldn't read more?
Simple, a problem with I Have with all the novels of this genre, some don't but more or less at least 90% have the Status problem that Volos explained:"There is a bit of an over-reliance on what I'm coining as "Deus ex calculo machina," or an overriding desire to hang the narrative on needlessly detailed/sysadmin/stats exposition."
The same problem you have with all fiction of this genre or they get too many statuses while other people do the same and can't get status or in this rare case but still happens the MC put points in a stupid status knowing nothing about it but in the end was the 'best' choice, I like this novel but in this novel this glaring flaw becomes even more apparent because he just 'fail' too much and yet keep going what he thinks is right, WIS while good and even his friends said it, should be used sparsely, while good it is bad we do not know the 'cap' of this world if there is none ok but for all everyone know there is a cap and every point in WIS is a point wasted(chapter 14 we don't know anything about WIS to justify the use the MC so faithfully see), if later he fights a monster max level with not even one point in WIS he is fucked(while he has wasted points to get to the end game faster the monster would have these points where he would be stronger so while i agree that is a good statuses to use if possible i would not put even one point in it given a choice) unless here he does the same thing Once a hero did just X status matter the rest doesn't so the MC is right regardless of what the others do.
He is little right but would still be smart to put one point WIS another in himself(warrior or mage, mage route I think because of his necklace) he couldn't even kill a chicken he said he couldn't receive a lot of hits his new family almost got extinct and yet he keeps going his way saying to all the world he is right but failing every time. while the novel is good this come to the point w

So, there is a miss mark that this is complete. But latest chapter posted 19 hours ago, changing my review accordingly. Story could use some more details at times but starting off well.

This is alright, but move a little to fast for me story wise. But I guess that is just how litrpg's are sometimes. The overall writing is well done, could use a little bit of clean up on it. The grammar seems good also. The story it self is fine, the MC is tolarble, but I stopped reading and dropped it. Mostly because I do that with stories.

Starts out as a standard fluff gamelit rpg, with a fast moving plot. The speed at which the plot progresses hinders character depth severely. Switches to a moba gamelit after first plot point is resolved.
Grammar and spelling are good.
Almost as good as your average pulp novel from back in the day.
