Description

[Participating in the NaNoWriMo]"Damn you Josh! How could you mess up this badly? Now I will somehow have to sit out the shitstorm that´s to come..." ~GMThis is the story of a GM and 3012 players who were one day trapped in a virtual reality game. Watch as people in power make bad choices which may or may not lead to the worst possible outcome.___________________________________There will be some cursing and swearing, a tiny bit of gore perhaps but nothing major. The story also deals with darker emotional things... the psycho and tragedy tags are there for a reason!I had only a months time to write this story and frankly that´s the most creative writing I have ever done in my life.50k wordsI can´t believe I did it. Thanks everyone. Without your support I doubt I would have made it.Please support me by pointing out logical errors and the things you didn´t like about the story. As it´s a rushed work I am aware that it has many flaws.

    Masterfully done! I don't know what to say but this is wonderful! The gm and the players feel so real! When someone does something you're not left hanging wondering why the heck they did it, no, you know why all of them do what they do. It might not be said outright but it doesn't take much brain activity to see and understand and to feel everything that can be felt.
    I'm giving you 5 stars everywhere because just wow.. I'm mind blown how someone can create such a story. Ifor you ever create another novel you can bet your ass I'll be there reading it!

    Man what a rollercoaster of emotions that was. I could see myself in these people positions and I probably would've reacted the same, and that's the beauty of it, it is easily relatable and creative. It is a good story in general and damn good for a rushed work.
    Thanks for the ride author.

    ★★★★ 4.0
    Really enjoyable read overall, plus the idea and its execution (considering that this was a rushed work anyways) was pretty amazing.
    Style: Loved it, the seriousness was perfectly juxtaposed with dashes of light humor and the tone fluidly changed to mirror the characters' emotions.
    Story: Wished it were longer because the premise was pretty promising but since it was meant for a competition, I didn't factor that into the rating. The story was gripping yet laid back at the same time, and the ending was perfectly executed.
    Grammar: Although it was a rushed work and so grammatical errors were inevitable, they were frequent enough to be uncomfortable so had to cut some points for that (sorry trollz :P )
    Character: The MC was amazing but the side characters had so much potential, really wish that the foil had been brought up sooner but then again, the mc was pretty good so it works out.
    Why you should read it: It's short, thought provoking and well executed but bear in mind that it was  a rushed work so it's obviously pretty rough around the edges (and the middle :P )

    ★★★ 3.0
    I only read the 2 first chapters so I don't really have the whole picture but so far I think it is a good strory and quite well written with style and grammar.
    The only thing I feel wrong is that it is missing something that makes me want to cotinue reading.
    Kinda like you have the body but not the soul.
    But that may be so just for me, but I would suggest to try and get that something extra.
    (What that extra is I have no clue, you will just have to find it. But that is how I feel from what I read)
