World of Karik #1
The First Player
Welcome to the new world. Many people died, but you got to this dangerous place by the will of mysterious creatures.
Imagine a community of liars and scoundrels who were able to survive by killing their friends and fellows.
These people surround you; everyone is lying, trying to get an advantage. Everyone has a secret.
The World of Karik is similar to the game. You can get levels, increase your stats, and even rise from the dead in case of failure. However, if you do make a mistake, if you trust the wrong person, you will die forever.
Everyone knows where is the way out of this world; it seems that you can return home, but not a single person did ever come back. Do you want to be the first? Then you have to decide, who is standing next to you? The friend or the foe? The creature of the abyss or an innocent victim?

About the author
Anton Emelianov
64 books66 followersHello, everyone. We’re two guys from Russia, and you probably won't believe us, but we write very good science fiction, fantasy, and LitRPG books. At least a hundred thousand people that have already read them have become our fans.
Honestly, writing has always been our passion. Therefore, we don't plan to stop. We’ll continue to develop our series; new books will be released, we'll start new projects as well... And we hope that more and more people will be able to enjoy our stories with the help of Amazon and other sites. We love that so many people, who might have never heard of us, just a few decades prior, might now get a chance to become our readers and, hopefully, fans.
Also, we have a little secret we'd like to share with you. My biggest dream is to have a film made, with a script based on our books, and my friend has always dreamt about seeing an anime based on one of our fictional worlds. I guess what remains is to find out which one of us will see his dream come true first!

Intriguing
Literally. This book is packed with deceit and intrigue. The magic system was interesting and revolved mostly around ways of 'cheating'.
Great book, content and plotwise!
The translation part leaves a lot to be desired... At times I think Google translate would have done a better job. At least every other sentence has mistakes which makes reading this book pretty time consuming.
Despite this I would recommend this book!

Well there is this...
I started this book because I had nothing else to read and thought this will probably suck but why not. Wow was I wrong, the MC is witty and relatable. The story moved at a fast pace lots of action and my favorite part.... very few and I mean very few stat tables!! Man it’s like a match made in heaven

Trainwreck
This is an interesting outline for a novel, hopefully the author will finish it at some point. As it stands now, it's in screaming need of editing and rewrite.

Has promise but couldn't finish due to the translation. It looks like many words came from a thesaurus without any understanding of meaning or context.
