The Accidental Mage: The Orb of Agner: Book 1

I was ok with the few spelling and grammar errors. I was ok with the page count. I’m ok with the info dump. However, I’m not ok with the  abrupt ending where the best friend is suddenly killed by a group of thieves because they can ‘magically’ break the game rules by turning a PVE zone into a PVP area. Then somehow the main character survives by using the overpowered magical artifact they just happen to discover a page ago.

The end of the novel say that the author plans on releasing another story in this series later. I hope the story improves but I can’t recommend this one.

Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm

If I had to describe Viridian Gate Online in one sentence it would be: A trapped in the game story with a hint of political intrigue. 

The story doesn’t spend much time in the ‘real world’ since it’s going to be destroyed by an asteroid. Instead it jumps right into Viridian Gate Online where Jack plans to upload his mind instead of dying on earth. When Jack or “Grim Jack” as his game character is called, logs into the game, he finds himself in a dungeon and has to escape with sneaky thief named cutter. Along the way he tries to save an old woman and is sent on a difficult game quest that will eventually help him establish his character class.

In order to survive, Haruhiro forms a party with others in the same situation as him, learns skills, and takes his first steps forward into the world of Grimgar as a trainee volunteer soldier.

Last Horizons: Live

The Last Horizon series is a LitRPG with a unique perspective. It’s the story of a group of grey haired gamers getting to spend time together with their friend in a VRMMO, who’s dying in real life. In the game, everyone has maximum quality of life and with time dilation, they get the most time to spend with their friend who in real life is in constant pain. Part of the story is about the normal gaming stuff. The games gone live, these friends who were in the Beta last novel are back in game looking to have more adventures. The other part of the story is about accepting and cherishing what you have time you left. The story got me all teary several times.

Tinker, Tailor, Giant, Dwarf

The sequel to Difficulty: Legendary, the second book in the series has eliminated much of what I disliked about the last, much shorter book. The main character is much less whiney, there is less real world drama, and it feels like the main character actually makes progress. Janus learns about his tinkerer class skills and experiments with what they allow him to do in the game.

Rex’s Let’s Play

The novel is a side story for one of the characters in the larger Godsmaker Wars series. It introduces and tells the story of Rex, who loves anime and manga. Especially those harem stories and when he creates his character in the latest VRMMO, he chooses a ‘disadvantage’ of sex addiction that forces him to have sex every 24 hours or lose use of some of his abilities and magic. Personally, I skipped the sex scenes and I enjoyed a good LitRPG story.

This is a unique VR world that uses a combination of class skills and ranks to determine power. The magic system is based in art, music, and singing to create magical effects related to fire, water, fortune telling, and combat.

The story revolves around a unique bloodline skill and how it’s reemergence in the game/real life has the potential to change the power structure between established factions. Some want to use the boy who has this power, other want to kill him. Our main character’s job is to protect the boy.
