Description

In the cold silence between the stars, millions of passengers aboard the Long Shot reside in stasis. While their bodies are protected from the ravages of time, their minds are far more fragile. To protect their sanity, they are connected to the ships network. Full depth Virtual Reality. But to ward of boredom we do what humans do best. We seek out entertainment, we fight, and we explore. In short, we game.But for Darin who just came off a maintenance shift, its a different story. In the Net time passes much more swiftly, so now he's late to the game, behind the curve, and nearly friendless. Upon joining the MMO """"Dreams of a Forgotten World"""" Darin finds that his problems have only just begun. But on the bright side, at least you can always respawn...

What can I say? I started reading this because it had a good number of chapters and an interesting plot. THen I got hooked in more or less one chapter and a half. THe writing is good, not the maximus best, but it goes on very well, and it never bother. Characters are well developed, and there a lot of various moments, from funny, to epic, and so on. The story, the world, the lore, is simply one of the very best I've found on this site.
TLDR: read this story, because it's one of the best

Love the sci-fi twist to the story, and the Mc is both funny, well developed, and is always getting into trouble. Can't wait for whats next!
Now for the real business the story'y style is OK to my standards. Author is currently building up the story with some history of the world, and giving a background for the Mc and side characters. Grammar is fine just a few spelling errors here and there. Character development is very well done, each character has their own unique personality.
P.S. It's a great read and is very fun to read if you ever have the time.

One of the best story this site has.
Easy to read, interesting characters, interesting story. It's slow pace, but entertaining. You will enjoy the journey rather than rush for the destination.

I have read a LOT of stories here on royal road. I have not once felt it necessary to comment on a story. For this one, I simply must. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed this story more than any other I have come across. You have good grammar, great characters, and an engaging story that is both lighthearted and serious. You have managed to combine some bits of science fiction with a mixture of virtual reality and fantasy without messing with the flow of the story. I have just reached the latest update of your story. I wait with anticipation for your next and hopefully many more to come.

This is the type of story that I don't mind having a slow start or an instant power up. The character interactions makes this really enjoyable though i felt kinda weird at first with the different approach on the typical vr stories but it grows on you. Please continue writing! :)

It's a cool read, despite it starting a little weirder than a reader expects from a fantasy VR-RPG. I find it to be really fun. Especially with the world starting to open up to the character now. Really looking forward to the future chapters. There are minimal mistakes at best, and they can be written off as writing too quickly. All in all, this is a story to be read.

Good points about this story, are it's story and grammer while it's bad point include shallow, toddler-esque characters and slow -and I mean deathly, painfully, horribly and incredulously slow- pace.
First let's talk about the good points.
Storyline: I like the way story has been setup, and all the Myths around that. That is the redeeming point of this story. Rating 3.5/5
Grammer. I did not notice anything that would draw my attention or would be so horribly wrong that it would disrupt the story. So all good in my opinion. Rating 3.5/5
Now, let us talk about negative points.
Pace: This story doesn't move, or actually it refuses to move ahead and teases you with crawling bit by bit. Each chapter is not a chapter, it's a scene that does not deserve to be a stand alone chapter. And even beyong that, some scenes that should not have been scenes are turned into chapters.

Characters:
There are the so called Elders. They have shown not an ounce of intelligence and behave like toddlers but sometimes they decide to spice it up and become teenagers and start making 'Size Matters' jokes. I mean, really?
And can we just not talk about the antagonists? They are supposedly grown adults in a spaceship that behave so stupidly that even a rock would look smarter in comparision just because it would do nothing.
Literally, if the antagonists bullies had kept their mouth shut, they would seem smarter.
