The Alchemy Worlds
Matias Temno is a man with bad anger issues. After a tough childhood and a lifetime of petty crimes, he is arrested for a botched armed robbery and sentenced to a five year prison stretch. While serving his time, Matias continues to display his anti-social behavior and total rejection of authority. The last straw will come when he will injure one of the guards. As a result, he will be forced to take part in Doctor Calladyce’s rehabilitation project.
Now one of the test subjects in this new experiment, Matias will be immersed in a virtual world where he will have to face and address his violent ways. Playing as a peaceful druid, he will be given a chance for redemption.
However, upon entering the Alchemy Worlds, Matias will quickly realize that this is not the stupid game he first thought this would be. Right off the bat, this will turn into a race for survival, and Matias will have to learn to contain himself if he is to get out of there in one piece. Because if he always resorted to violence to solve his problems in the real world, here he is bound by the laws of the druids.
With no room for error (as death in-game means death IRL), will Matias be able to find the goodness buried deep inside and use it to save himself? Or will he fall victim to his rage one last and final time?
“The Alchemy Worlds: Enter T(he)rap(y)” is the first book in the Alchemy Words series, a work of litRPG fiction.

Interesting. Not what I expected from the title and the blurb, but interesting nonetheless. Suffers from lack of a final edit, but otherwise, it's pretty sound. Nice world building, though there's some severe gaps there, but I would expect future installments will fix that. If you like litRPG, you should enjoy this one. If you like science fiction, there's a little of that here too, though it's not it's primary focus. I'm interested to see where this series will go, and I will definitely watch for future installments.

Feels unfinished
Good story so far but feels like half a book. I get that there will be more but there are too many things unresolved. Also the mc seems like he is trying too hard to be a jerk. I will still get the next one to see what happens.

Disappointed it has been so long since I've read it and no second book. I'm putting a 5 star to encourage the author. Truly three and half would
Be more accurate as this had amazing potential, but that has not been realized. Yet

Its well written but I hate the main character
I got to 50%. But damn that guy is an unlovable ahole. I just can't seem to care what happens to him.
Had to bail on the book. Aorry

Twisty story
It was a good read and for the first time in a long time, I felt that the end of the book came too quickly. The plot seems sound but convoluted. There's a lot more plot to develop.
There is a secret organization with government ties, that has undercover aliens in control. There are secret agendas and quantum computers. There is an island prison and the story has a general "Twin Peaks" feel.
The characters aren't quite as crisp as some that I've seen but are serviceable. The quality of the dialogue is affected accordingly. Editing issues will affect the read. I liked it and I think that you might.
