- RznRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0This is an interesting mix of Fae and VRMMO with an MC that for reasons unknown is able to get away with it. This seems to be clearly in the Young Adult genre, though at its core it seems to struggle with explaining the dynamic of how she's able to interface with the system in such a way when it is not a 'dive' type. I mention this because of the control set up and how it has tactical and sensory feedback. The game mechanics are not explained so this stops from being one of those blue-box litrpg-like stories, yet there is a System as play. The actual narrative arc is interesting, but the 'first quest' was a bit unusual and I felt that the aspects of the Fae were sometimes more or less lip service instead of having them fleshed out.
The conclusion threw a curve ball out of nowhere with a side character that seemed oddly random, but no clue as to the truth of it. A few more loose threads are dangled for Jennet's family and while they came and went early on, I expect they'll be resolved in the main books and not the prequel. The throwing stuff out there aspect was a bit odd to me, because it doesn't feel like they mattered and just served as clear line to be dealt with at a much later point. This prequel was interesting, but it doesn't have a resolution that ends in a strong way.
