A really interesting take on the LitRPG genre. Think DC Online.
It's nice to see a different setup than someone brand new to a game, getting overpowered skills and cruising through everything because of it or a buddy buddy AI. This is the kind of story that you could set as recurring world, without a major all encompassing ARC that would eventually derail and end up in the weeds.
I like that the consequences to dying are permanent, but at the same time I also dislike them. A lot of the mechanics of a LitRPG just lend themselves to the respawn. And because of this, the setup for the next book is kinda weird.
Will definitely read it though. Great job.

Finished it but barely
It feels like the author took a underpowered hero story and tried to fit it into the litrpg genre. Theres no real skills or abilities and all leveling and stats seems to be just an after thought with no real meaning for the player. Characterization felt weak with little or no emotional investment. The choice to make the protagonist a support playercan be interesting but i felt the execution was lacking throughout. I highly doubt the author has ever played an rpg of any type.

Sigh. I like superhero books. And a superhero litrpg sounded great. This? Was not great.
First. The main character is supposed to be good at this game. He was one of the early adopters and had a high-level character until he died in-game. So even beginning again, he should still have experience and knowledge about how to play. And yet.... he doesn't behave like this.
Second. I was listening to the audiobook and the choice the narrator made for the MCs voice was a bad one. It was an irritating voice.
Third. The book is boring.

This story is just too random.
Some random 16 year old is living on his own. he has one friend in the world that acts as the game's news update... in a coffee shop he goes to whenever the reader needs an actual news update... from the news channels.
I'm guessing this is a world where nothing is happening so they report on in-game events now? not even large events but individuals in this guy's life.
Anyway like in fire emblem if you die it's game over and you have to start over. now consider that people put real money into this MMORPG that is designed for adventuring, this is a game where dying is part of the overall experience but no, die and everything including your cash and items will get deleted. Yeah I'm a casual gamer and even I don't buy this.
So the guy dies and has to start over. He tries different things to gain special abilities in-game (because unlike every game in existence the mechanics here were set to randomize) and for a month nothing happens, then through a random monster encounter he gains abilities, loses his party and gains a new one. then randomly a world event starts and he gains more allies and then another random thing happens and so on.
World mechanics are set to random and not grounded in reality at all.
Story depends heavily on things "happening" out of the blue.
MC... well at least he has an arch and shows some growth, not too hard to do when you start at ground zero. He's not very likable or relatable sadly. The other characters have so little personality that they are named after their in-game roll (like war cry that does war cries to buff the party. not even kidding) or their colour coding, how can you have such a large cast and just call them red, blue, green, black...etc?
I don't know, it felt like I was reading a first draft for a book with the author putting ideas out there and not sure how to connect it all rather then the finished work.

I didn't care for the character at the beginning. It did help when it came out that the mc was 16 and on his own. At least that explained his attitude. Game seems a lot random and, as a gamer myself, not sure how this much randomness would be received by gamers.
I will probably try book 2, but it will need to be better than this to keep me coming back.

My original Paragons audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
Orphaned at a young age and solely independent, Riley has one option available to him – be a gamer on Sigil Online – a computer game in which one enters a virtual reality world. Once there, one can earn enough cash to live in the real world. That is if they can survive encounters with deadly creatures and players who kill other players! Believing himself to be invincible, Riley learns what it's like to lose in Sigil. As he reboots, he learns the value of friendship, teamwork and to pay his debts when he encounters a mysterious bug-like monster who makes playing Sigil Online a whole new experience.
I wasn’t sure I would like this book given I am not a real gamer at all. I play video games occasionally, I am familiar with the language and role-playing but I wasn’t sure. I am delighted I had the opportunity to hear this audiobook. The storyline flowed smoothly and was well developed as were the characters. Even someone like me, a small-time gamer could connect with the story and the characters without a struggle. Jeff Sproul brought to light just how a gamer evolves – how easy the path is to become a selfish, egotistical and single-minded a gamer evolves. Sproul’s dialogue was accurate as well and contributed to the steady movement of the plot, action, and suspense.
Jeff Hays, the narrator, performed the audiobook effectively by providing each character with their own personality. I enjoyed his performance as he did not have to compete with other sounds – I dislike “dramatic” performances as other things get it in the way – and this is one book that could have gone either way. I enjoyed Hays’ smooth, calm voice with just the appropriate level of emotion when needed.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys science fiction, action, and gaming.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

I have read a lot of LITRPG so coming from that background, this LITRPG is unique in as far as at least for the first book there isn't a lot of stat crunching which I actually like b/c I find stats even in the best LITRRGs like Chaos Seed meaningless b/c they are only used as a vague point of reference on how strong the characters are.
Sigil Online also does characters well for the most part. Everyone seems believable, just a couple average people playing a game. Some play to make money, some play just for fun and their backgrounds color and shape their experiences and actions through the book.
There is an potential issue though, minor spoiler alert. The books states emphatically states that it is just a game. It isn't some mixed reality, real reality or some other combination staples we see in other LITRPGs. That fact makes this series different from other series. We don't have the plotlines of NPC being real people and all the other stuff typical in LITRPGs. That is refreshing and disappointing at the same time.
For example early in the book, one of the players goes on a rampage through town killing NPC and low level players. In typical LITRPG, the hero would be horrified and through some vague sense of conscious he would rescue those victims somehow or stop the player b/c he innately knows it is wrong and b/c he knows it more than game somehow. In this book, Riley the main character just tries to skedaddle away, why risk his character for some binary code? I enjoyed Riley's reaction more than the typical white knights we come across in these types of stories.

Somehow this book escaped my culling of LitRPG books off my kindle, and that was actually almost a good thing... This story didn't do all the things that annoy me in most LitRPG books, and I actually enjoyed it.
Set mostly inside a video game, Riley is one of the top players in the world (which would usually be a strike against a LitRPG book), but a few pages in, he died and so has to start over at level 1 (nice twist!). Even better, he doesn't zoom right back up to ultra-powerful again.
Even more interesting, he plays as a healer. For non-gamers, healers are the least glamours role in MMOS -- in LitRPG books, the main character is always either a mega-damage dealer or a tank.
The book followed Riley as he tried to become strong enough to just not die to any passing monster (again, such a nice difference than most LitRPG books!).
The big, big, BIG downside was the writing and editing. There were so many typos in the book, from character names (Todd, how does one typo Todd?) to the name of the game/book title itself. In addition to all the typos, the writing just really wasn't good. Sadly I stopped reading this at the 50% mark. It's really too bad the writing didn't live up to the story's potential.

Very well done.
I don't have any major gripes about this book at all. I enjoyed it, it kept me engaged, wanting to read more. It gave me that gaming feel that I love with litrpg titles.
My only complaint would be that things just HAPPENED too easily. Yes it's a game and it's even stated that the rules for things in the game are random, but for the characters to be THAT LUCKY to have everything pan out, it's not too believable. I feel like if the timetable for the LUCKY events was drawn out a bit, it could be been more believable. That false 'random' aspect just stuck out to me. But it didn't detract from the story or anything.
I want more than just the 2 books available, if love to be in this online game world more.

Meh...
I mean it was cool seeing the difference in using "powers" as opposed to just gaining new abilities every other level and having to go through the grind of the explanation of that power and how they're going to use it.
I thoroughly appreciated that, but it also comes with the expectation that you are either going to world build a little more or character build a little more and I personally felt like neither the characters nor the world were fully realized.
I am currently on the second book but I'll probably end the series here unless helions is going to be an amazing book which I highly doubt.
Still worth the read I guess.

All in all a good story
I have to say at first I was not really liking it. I thought the main character was a dbag and action was very slow. However, it started to pick up after the main character got erased and he had to start over. He got a reality check. He realized he was dbag and everyone thought about. As he started to level up and come into his own power. I feel the story had a lot of growth and a nice twist in the end. I will look forward to the next story.

Boring
She book two came out I'd figured I would give it a shot since I have been treating more super hero novels lately. Though there didn't seem to be any plot. No character development at all. The main character who was the main healer in most of the fight seemed to be able to have lengthy dialog in the middle of the fight without anyone dying. I am not even sure why I bothered finishing the book really.

I'm getting LitRPG fatigue at this stage. Also every books in the genre has same plot. Basically protagonist lost and won. I do appreciate the fact that the author did not duel so much on xp and explaining every point gained, loot and damage.
Story was ok. However, the villain reveal was a shock.

The world build was different from a lot of litrpg's. Nice pace and well put together. A Good fluff read.

This book was a bit lame. That was little in it to hook the reader. You might as well just be watching a play through on YouTube of somebody's character. The storyline and plot was somewhat stupid.

Worth a read
Great book, fun "magic" system, and just enough world building to sow some good seeds for development. Pacing isn't perfect but otherwise spot on.

Meh. It was kind of interesting that it was strictly a videogame, not some "trapped in a videogame" or "sent to another world" thing. Still not that interesting.

Its a nice novel, i gave it 3 stars because unfortunately i don't relate with the main author and so i found it a little lacking.

The lack of a solid system and idiotic MC really put me off this book.

( Format : Audiobook )
"Green acid sprays, red bullets, yellow discs"
I am not a gamer, nor will ever be, but I do enjoy occasional visits into the electronic fantasy worlds so many seem to frequently inhabit.
Sigil Online is set in a time not far distant when the game has become a huge part of life for everyone, rating news updates and even video clips of recent action played to the general population by the media. Successful gamers are able to make a living by playing, the best can earn a lot of money. Reilly was one such player. At only 16, orphaned and alone in the world, he has built a comfortable life for himself as Radiance, an advanced player, 2nd tier: a Paragon. He has followers but, apart from one, no friends. But he is content.
Then his in-game character, Radiance, is killed and he loses everything. With almost no money left and fearful of not being able to pay his rent, he goes back to work: in Sigil. But he has to start the game again from the beginning with a new persona and no powers. And this time he is surprised by the kindness of others - occasionally - and as he progresses in the game, also grows as a real life person.
No real surprises in this basic coming of age story but the journey through the levels, the characters and, especially, the brilliantly conceived powers and described fight scenes make this a very memorable book, far better than some others I have read. The writing is very visual, the characters well drawn, although a little additional 'real' life background could have added deeper interest.
Juggling miriad character voices, a complex text of colour and action, narrator Jeff Hays is outstanding. Pacing his reading to match the speed and intensity of the storyline, this is a superb dramatisation, sounding as if there were a whole array of actors, male and female, taking part and not just a single voice artist. He binds the whole book together with his distinctive performance.
Simple story, complex and visual fight scenes, superb narration, this was a book which I could enjoy without deeper knowledge of gaming. My thanks to the rights holder for gifting me my copy of Sigil online:Paragons, via Audiobook Boom. Hopefully, there will be another following soon. If so, I will most certainly be looking out for it.

** Review of Audio Format **
Coming of Age...In Virtual Reality
Riley is a bigshot VR star who supports himself through an online game called Sigil. He spends his days inside the game hooking up with various groups, killing monsters, and picking up loot. Until the day his bigshot character is killed and he has to start over.
Riley makes the mistake of reading press about his now dead character. It’s not good. People didn’t like him. They thought he was a jerk. So, he starts over and tries to fix the flaws in his game that made him so unlikeable. He meets other gamers. They allow him to tag along on their expeditions to build his levels. Something happens. Riley begins to care about the other gamers. He thinks of them as friends. Soon, he must make a decision. Will he go back to his former ways and bounce from group to group to use whoever he can to get more loot and move up in the game? Or will he stick with his new friends and watch their back and maybe move more slowly but have the comradery he is missing in his real life as an orphan?
I liked this story. I cared about Riley and wanted to see him get his levels back. But I wanted him to include his real life friend more in his life. And I wanted him to have friends and people he cared about because he was so alone in real life. I was rooting for him. I saw where the story was heading and who the white worm was long before it was revealed but enjoyed they story and stuck with it to the end.
The narration for Jeff Hays was somewhat subdued in this listen. There were no sound effects and his voices were less varied than I’m used to. So, it was just OK for me. I usually jump at Hays’ narrations because they are phenomenal. This one wasn’t a standout for me but it was still very good.
I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom! in exchange for an honest review.

I am not a gamer, but I thoroughly enjoyed Riley's adventures in Sigil Online.
The reader is drawn into this world from the very first page. You are enveloped, surrounded, almost overwhelmed by the sights, sounds, smells, events, powers, tactics, weapons, and great monsters. There is so much to take in, this is stimulation for every nerve in your body.
A very good, furious, action packed tale with fully fleshed out characters (on- and offline) who don't always get their own way.

A little overpriced
I feel this is a little overpriced, but it's much better than the permadeath series length wise. You get an actual book instead of just some short story.
I found only a couple of errors in the book. I also enjoyed the story and look forward to the next book.
I can recommend this book for those who don't mind the slightly higher price, however if you are on a budget pass it by until it goes on sell.

The idea of the tier's and the abilities is really fascinating, the whole game world is well-built.
The most i was missing was that the MC's healing ability is not clear to me. Is possible i passed it somehow but how can he heal? Well, whatever. The MC has a decent personality, realize the wrongs of the past and etc. But still cannot give more than 3 somehow

I really enjoyed this book. Very much in the same vein as Sword Art Online. eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Paragons was a good start
Thanks Jeff! This was the first litRPG supers that I've read. Enjoyable with varied characters. Good introduction to a series. It did remind me of sitting around a table playing a superhero RPG and all the weird powers we came up with.

Great start
Great start to the series, nice to see litrpg that isn't standard fantasy. Hope the mc gets more offensive capability in book two, but either way I'll probably enjoy it. Lots of good character interaction in this.

Very enjoyable
Great story set in a LitRPG world that brings to mind many fun days and nights playing City of Heroes/ Villains. Great job! Looking forward to the next book.
