I've read up until the point where I'm current on this story now, so I can assess every aspect of this fiction to the best of my ability. Overall, Zelly's Adventures in the as-yet-unnamed fantastical new world she's reached
by playing the video game her parents made
are very entertaining!
The author pulls you in and establishes a relationship between audience and characters very quickly. From the first two chapters, I found myself caring about the whole family that Zelly originates from, not just the main character whose head we inhabit most of the time. The characters aren't eccentric in the way that a lot of Royal Road protagonists tend to be; they're normal, likable people who have small quirks and perhaps hidden secrets.
In terms of style, reading this feels like picking up a sci-fi/fantasy novel of the sort I used to pick up in the library growing up. The sort of book you wouldn't put down for a whole afternoon, because you wanted to know what happened next. Even if I didn't ever find another book by that author again, I was always game to pick up another book that felt the same way.
The story thus far is one of survival. Heroine versus her environment, which will rarely fail to be compelling. As long as I genuinely care about the main character and also believe her environment poses a threat, there are stakes. And as long as the main character seems to have some potential ability to take care of herself in the environment, but not overwhelming competency at it, there's automatic suspense about whether she can really survive. The author has maintained all of this well, so the story keeps me guessing about what will happen next.
An aspect of the story worth touching on is the intrigue, the central mystery of the premise. I will put in spoilers, since it's a definite spoiler for at least the beginning of the adventure.
Where exactly is the MC? If this is another real world that she was transported to, in a universe with LitRPG elements, it feels a little too conv
