Sid Vicious thought that when he defeated the player-hunter, The Seeker, after eleven months of planning, he’d saved all the players of Elora Online from the Dragonbane Killer’s wrath of killing and looting. When he’s thrown into Dark World, a secret part of Elora Online where his name changes to Sid, his race to being a Nuudle, and his class the ever-elusive Mystic, he’s stunned that he can physically feel the game around him, and he can’t access the real world or Elora any longer. He’s trapped.
As he uncovers the mysteries of Dark World while being stalked by The Seeker, his old nemesis who also now has a new race and class, he makes unusual friends who help him claim his summons for Mystic. With each summon he wins in impossible battles, he gains more power, and unlocks the secrets of what Dark World really is…what Elora Online is, and why he’s there. The hits make him bleed, and the deaths are painful. He must defeat Seeker once again, and this time it’ll take more than a year of planning. It’ll take a worldwide war.
Its a jumbled mess. I really tried to push past the beginning, but the writing style, the flow was all off.
I have been reading a lot of litrpg and I am pretty forgiving when it comes to new authors, but you really need and editor.
I am also not a fan of how you setup the world. Its rushed. The whole revenge concept has no resonance with the reader because we did not experience the incident.
Just telling us about it and them saying he is already maxed out, stronger than before, was just blah to me.
After page 91, I had to give up on this one. It was poorly written with flat characters who never talked about their lives outside of the virtual game. I understand that this is a LitRPG novel, but there was way too much focus on the gaming mechanics of the game being played. It made for dull, tedious reading. every aspect of the game is told to the reader and never shown.
What stopped me from reading was the repetitive plot of the hero fighting a monster and then being able to summon the defeated monster. It's just the same thing chapter after chapter.
It's a shame this novel suffers from poor writing as it had some wonderful ideas. The dynamic between the hero and villain was fascinating and the Paradox created by the hero and the villain going back into the games past was cool. But it was enough to make me finish this novel.
