Description

Cian is a broke, freshly graduated engineering student working as a janitor when he gets the opportunity to play a new VR MMO. Touted by fans as "More Real than Reality," it has taken the world by storm and in-game credits are even traded on real world currency markets. It's a potential path to real world riches, or financial ruin. But Cian soon realizes this game is more than it seems. A series of events leads him to question the nature of the game and his own reality. What is the true nature of the Weave? Who are the Weaveborn? And why do the game masters want him dead?

    Don't really know what to say about this one.
    The charecters are fine, the world good and the plot, oh man oh boi. It is an arm an a leg above most of what is on here. Really hope the author gets back to writing, as this is one of faviourte stories on here.

    This is a well developed concept and I like the charactors, but only feels like half a book. I.E. At the point it went on hiatus it feels like we have just entered the middle of the book not anywhere near the end. Though it if was a serial it wouldn't feel to bad as and end of the first book with a little more developement in the last chapter or two toward a jumpoff for the next book.

    This needs to be read by more people, so I am taking it upon me to write a review for it, which I really don't do often. The story is great, a nice pace at the start that lulls you into the VR world, then it yanks out the rug from under you! In other words, the pace is great, and it made me read almost the whole night with work the next day.
    Characters are great as well, they all feel important and lived-in even if they're only in one scene (so far). Payoff so far is great. Quality of writing is good as well, it's just what I was looking for when I was in the mood for some fantastical sci fi.

    This was so good I stayed up till almost 2AM and was late for work due to binging it. Starts off as your standard LitRPG, with the same old story of broke MC and trying to make money in game. And then it gets metaphysical on you. The twists in this story definitely felt like they came out of left field, but thinking back there were some things that definitley made me go 'Hmmm...' and should've telegraphed more. I'm a sucker for good scifi, and an even bigger sucker for scifi litrpg. 11/10 would recommend to lovers of both, definitely looking forward to where this story goes!

    The story starts as a boring life of Cian, but reading later chapters you understand why that is. This is one of the best sci-fi's I have read as the story goes. I really hope the author gets back to writing it because there's just so much he has yet to tell the world. I hope you are okay as there isn't much news on your profile.
    The story starts out simple yet it gradually transforms into this huge thing and that transformation is so silent sometimes and you are reading and go like "waittt a moment.. isn't that why that and that is happening?" And it just sucks you into this world. Thank you for this work.
    Main character is a simple dude but his changing worldview is so well executed in my opinion that it deserves 5 stars.
    The style of the story sometimes doesn't feel that natural, especially in the first chapters, but I think that was a conscious decision as it really fits the story as you read into the later chapters.
    Grammar is impeccable in my opinion, or at least I didn't see any mistakes.
    So yeah, you should definitely give this one a try as it isn't that long. If you are reading this author, I hope you come back and finish the story, it is marvelous.

    Well detailed and nice build to what I feel will be a fabulous story! I enjoy all of the questions Cian asks and how the author uses this as a way to explain the setting and how the game works.
    I'm excited to read more about Cians journey and will update this review as needed.

    The writing is crisp and we'll put. The world building is deeep, the author clearly spent some time on it. I'm really enjoying the comraderie between some characters , the characters work. And the fight scenes are really good. It sucks it's on hiatus as I am writing this but I'm definitely gonna wait.

    VR LitRPG usually have issues with the stakes of the story. If everything is just a game, even a unrealistically realistic one, nothing really matters and so the reader feels disengaged from the story, without spoilers, this one manages to avoid the issue , a great plus, in my opinion. The grammar is good, plot appears to be interesting and the main character is not annoying. Overall, I recommend reading this fiction.

    Fuckin found the unicorn boys and girls.
    I have legit been searching for a specific kind of litrpg/space opera/SciFi story for almost 2 years now. This story is my unicorn. Super well written, with a good hook and it actually makes sense. I can usually find good litrpgs, and I can usually find good SciFi/space opera... But very rarely does a story put both of them together in a way that works.
    No harems, no murder hobo Mc, and the story doesn't make the Mc the center of the universe. There's other shit going on in the wider world, and the wider universe. I can imagine other people outside of the characters direct line of sight, just going about their day and living life.
    10/10 would binge again.

    This was a great binge read. It's not finished. Drops of on a bit of a cliffhanger. But if you don't get too upset by unfinished stories or cliffhangers, it's worth the read. At the very least, I enjoyed it. The pacing is good, a lot of progression getting done without feeling too breakneck. The scale is kept reasonable.
