Lucy and the World Egg: Guardian Tamers Online Book 1: A Creature-Collecting LitRPG Adventure
Empty-nester and former teen mom Lucy Lake is in a funk after her son leaves for college. In a last-ditch effort to reconnect with him, she makes an account in his favorite VR Guardian Tamers Online, the world’s most popular creature-collector. However, Lucy isn’t too keen on killing the cute and cuddly creatures. When her peace-loving ways trigger a unique event, she’s entrusted with a mysterious golden egg that holds the power to save the world.
Now, it’s up to Lucy to decide if she’ll use all her wit, cunning, and strength as a mom to hatch the Legendary World Egg and save the eerily realistic game world before it’s destroyed from the inside out. And with the help of some friends, she may just rediscover who she is along the way.
This epic fantasy LitRPG is perfect for fans of creature-collector adventures like Pokémon and Digimon, and the video-game-inspired worlds of Sword Art Online and Solo Leveling.

So impressed by this! I went into this knowing nothing about the genre and honestly being nervous about being clueless throughout the book. It was written in a way that even a newbie like me could follow along. I found myself having lots of conversations with my friends and family trying to explain what was happening because it was often on my mind. I don’t want to give too much away about what is happening but I wish I had a strong enough imagination to see all the creatures created. If you’re into online gaming or even just the worlds of online gaming you will love this! I’m excited to see where this story goes!

What an enjoyable surprise. A litRPG book that kinda reminds me of Shangra-La Frontier with an MMO built with AI that can surprise even its creators with unexpected depth. Except the main character isn’t a gifted gamer, it’s a middle-aged single mom who just saw her only child go off to college.
That one change really gives it a different feel. It’s often a chosen one coming-of-age story. Instead, this is a chosen one midlife crisis story.
We follow Lucy as she deals with a newly empty nest and turns to gaming to find something to relate to her son, who has just left. Only to fall into a world in need of someone to guard the world egg and save them all. She makes friends and gains some measure of confidence in herself in the bargain.
