Bitter #5
Bitter: Book Five
Britta isn't cool. She isn't popular, she isn't pretty. School life isn't much fun, but that's the way the world is. Which would be a terrible shame if this was the only world available.
Fully immersive virtual reality gaming allows Britta to enter a fantasy MMORPG where she can be whoever she wants to be. She can be tall, she can be thin, she can be beautiful. So she decides to be a gnome — short, hairy and plump. She's never looked for other people's approval before, she certainly isn't going to start now.
Bitter is an ongoing slice-of-life story about a girl who finds her life isn't what she wanted, so she gets another one.
Also available as a daily online serial on MoodyLit.com. This book collects chapters 401-500 in an edited form.

This is a temporary placeholder review for all of the Bitter series, which recently concluded its major arc with Episode 600. When Book 6 is officially published, this review will be moved there!
You can read Bitter for free on Moody's website, here.
It's LitRPG, only told from a point of view of a character who isn't necessarily a gamer: Britta (or B the gnome) is an average girl in a world just starting to get VR. Joining her "quest" includes a myriad of characters, ranging from the likeable to completely stalkerish. Told both in the real world and the gaming world, we learn alongside Britta how the world--both real and not--works. She learns and grows alongside the game.
There are AIs, as strange as a computer can be, with their own morals, mannerisms, and ways of going about doing things. They're sentient, or at least most of them are. They're colorful characters in their own rights, and although we don't necessarily see them all the time, their decisions help create the gaming world, and potentially the real world as well.
Fans of GameLit and LitRPG will want to check this one out, as well as folks new to the genre but are offput by the genre's stigma. There is a story behind the stats sheet; both characters and enemies abound, each as unique as the person or AI behind it.
Part of me hopes that this story will be returned to in the future, but for now, it concludes in a satisfying way.
