Resumen del Editor

Eddie Hunter is about at the end of his rope, so when he stumbles across an ad looking for people to farm in Long Term Immersion in the game Light Online, he can't believe his luck. Once hired he enters the game as soon as he can. Unbeknownst to him, though, the person that hired him is also doing illicit research on the pods that he and the other farmers are using.

The research is rapidly discovered by the AIs that monitor the game and shut down, forcefully, by the company that runs Light Online. But the code that runs those pods has been altered, and until it's fixed Eddie and the others can't log out. Although the devs assure him that it won't take long to fix, Eddie's not so sure of that himself.

Eddie entered the game to make money in real life, and as he tries to do that he finds himself getting entangled deeper and deeper in the game and with the people he meets there. But when he discovers a side of the game that the previous players had apparently never even considered, he knows he has to find a way to stay in the game.

Good book

A little more action would be nice but overall a good book. I will buy next book to see where it leads.

Refreshing LitRPG-Light

This is a refreshing change to the typical LitRPG, and it is like eating candy...easy on the mind and fun. Enjoyable world building and leveling system. As for that refreshing change...not a constant dungeon slog, nor explicit sex, nor constant extreme villains. It's just different, which is something I like in a LitRPG, and the reader can easily go with the flow.

if you like World building then this is for you

if you like World building then this is for you it's a great series that shows great potential in showing both the some of the dishonesty that can happen and trying to get people to farm If You're Expecting intrigued military and Criminal organizations you got that the one thing I would have to say that tent on media has made a misstep in but they have decided that the next book will be coming out in December this is something that should be coming out in mid June this is a serious that you just want to read the first book and then go dive into the next book within the next 2 to 3 months and that way it isn't lost and you're not forgetting anything because there are such subtleties to this book that by putting it out in December and it's most likely that you will lose some readers because of it and people may even forget about the series

Great balance of world building, town building and action

As a pretense ive finished books 1 and 2 before this review.

The story has a slight twist from the normal stuck in a vrmmo and actually takes place post launch a noticeable time window.

The story itself reminded me in the way ascend online feels although less raw numbers/grinding and killing but instead more in the social aspect of the game and understanding npcs aren’t far from people themselves.

My biggest issue with the story is the narrators female voices. They all almost sound the same and with little range.

Light hearted and fun medevil capitalism.

Light hearted and fun medevil capitalism. Fun and cool read and pretty good Narration. word

Great start to what could be an awesome series

Loved the book, as well as the MC. Worth the credit for sure... Now be like Netflix and give us the whole series.. :)

I liked the simple slow pace

This starts off with a simple guy solving problems with very little. I thought I’d miss the high magic and Uber warriors deals damage in the thousands, but I found tended to tune out all those large numbers anyways. When you have 10 hit points you gotta be thrifty. I loved the characters and their development.

interesting

a simple seeming story. a fun read/listen,, could use an edit. will probably read the rest eventually.

Simple, but fun.

Although the story was fairly simple, it was a fun listen anyway. The characters are somewhat one dimensional which really didn't hurt the story. Good narration. There was a nice twist at the end of the book.

The stakes are small, the story is slow and....

Its actually pretty refreshing. Often the litrpg scene is dealing with massive nonstop world ending or at least life ending consequences for actions in this book an issue could be some jerks bust-up aren't or the MC needs more rabbiteat to meetdemand for his bunny kebobs.

There are relationships of a romantic nature but the actual sex stuff is glossed over thankfully,, the narrator's female voice is....eh it's serviceable.
