What happens when a VR world is created that will directly effect the real world? When the opportunity to join a government sponsored experiment in a virtual world that promised 100% immersion, Lucius didn't hesitate to apply. Unbeknownst to him the reason for the experiment that was offered to the public was only part of the story. To study human nature they say. Earth is on the brink of war, so why are they spending so much on what seems to be an extremely advanced game?

- AldyrinRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'm really enjoying this story.
It feels like things are building up to make this a great one.
The grammar is very good (worlds above many stories on this site).
The writing really communicates the emotional aspect of the MC, and I look forward to more. - ArtmiserRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0lookong forward to the ebook version, in the final version try and keep the events in a single chapter. The goblin city fight should have been at most three chapters.
- JohnDelvfarRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I just found this story and all ready it is my number 1 favorite on RR!!! I have read fro. Chapter 1 through 48 today, and love what I am reading. The writing is clear, mostly grammar error free, mostly spelling error free, and we’ll thought out chapters. The characters are well defined, not stereotypes, and have a complex mix of motivations. Hints of things to come provide questions for the reader and many possible conflicts between friends and enemies. Well done I eagerly look forward to what comes next!!!
Thank you for all your hard work. Please continue !!!
JOHNDELVFAR - PreachaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Really enjoyed reading the book and will buy when it comes lot on Amazon. I would like to see more stat screens however and noticed the absence later on in the series.
Please bring back more stats mr author! - SpartanLokiRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0If you want to see someone go from a regular person to someone powerful with actual hard work and problems then this the story for you. For me this story is what I have been looking for for a while on RoyalRoad, a story where the MC actually grew and didn't get handed some cheat or glitch. I'm terrible at writing reviews but more people should check this story out. The action is top notch, you won't see any *Swish* or *Bam*, you'll get actual description that places you in the just the right spot for awesomeness to appear. Highly recommended for people who have been looking for a story that doesn't have a harem or an overpowered MC.
Elorion I hope to see much more of this story in the future and I sincerely thank you for writing it! - Replica1Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5There is definitely a sense of excitement that comes when reading this! So far the story is well written with very few spelling or punctuation errors which unless you are actively looking for can go completely unnoticed. Characters have a depth to them and are far from stereo typical archetypes found in manga or what not. The Main character is likable and is showing us a strength that comes through overcoming our fears without being overpowered. I am looking forward to following this and cant wait to see what happens next.
- ptgatsbyRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I highly recommend this story for a read. The concept is interesting, the writing is excellent and the action scenes are extremely well written. The characters are pretty good, a mix of characters that feel genuine and a few that feel a bit forced, but no more so than any other novel. My only real complaint as a reader is a bit on pacing. Some parts felt very drawn out (in my review linked below, related to rankings and the early 'romance'), but overall this was a minor issue.
I wrote a more nitpicky critical review at (spoilers) http://royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=81082&pid=721624#pid721624 but that is meant more for the author. - The Bus LurkerRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Pretty fucking cool. The author's description on muscle growth and potential "super humans" with unlimited muscle tearing and reforming is magnificent! As of now I've read 25 chapters, and honestly there isn't really much in the way of BIG action. That's okay because the story so far does an excellent job on setup. The foreshadowing and suspense go hand in hand with a build up in power. I cannot wait for when the Mc is in a position to use his tactfulness/leadership? in a meaningful way.
I'll briefly touch on characters. As mentioned by another, the female connection does seem bland and cliche. Can't give any meaningful advice about that, but it's a thing. The way the Mc interacts with other's is great, we understand him better with his dream segments, although I wouldn't want to see this overdone, or strictly in the realm of nightmares. The way he interacts with a fellow disciple, getting him comfortable with his own limits and accepting that he can do more was inspiring.
I would describe the story (thusfar) as an experiment. You're the child that was offered a cookie now, or a large variety box of cookies in 7 days. With this story, you're getting a large variety box of cookies in 7 days.
Call me a fan. - CruxioRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Style- pretty much your basic of basics. No hilarity nor seriousness. The construct is very timid although progressing
Story – nothing good nothing bad. Him being too focused on a girl is rather dull. Internal struggles are introduced too early in the story. You are trying to make it harder than it seemed.
Grammar – a few typo and grammars here and there
Character – Dull, helpless, probably achieve something someday, but the way he is now is irritating. Cant call it character building because he is still going over and over with the same problem.
Fear- I cant really feel the realism in the story. Yes he had stated it over and over. But fear never really had taken its roots or had shown its effect. Hope you can convey fear better if you are really focusing on it
I’d call it a 4 if there was really something to look forward to but the game is still too premature to be influenced by the real purpose of Codename:Freedom. - CianSlayaaRoyal Road★★ 2.0This novel is tagged under Supernatural and Fantasy, but in reality is just a sci-fi novel with the bare minimum fantasy elements and no supernatural elements( i only read till chapter 29).
This is my favorite part: "she is literally perfect. She has no flaws." I actually laughed my ass off!
