I was going to write a long review and then noticed that I was on the second book, and I need to make sure people get a chance to avoid getting this far. Going to go make a more in depth review on the first book, because this series is skippable. TL;DR After reading the first book, I thought maybe it was an author's first try at writing and I'd give it a chance to improve. It was not, it did not.

Ok, firstly - it takes a lot for me to write a one star review. I have to dislike a book to the point of not finishing to deserve that kind of judgement...this is one of those books.
If there is one word I could use to describe the MC and all his friends, it is sanctimonious. Oh my days, this book is the epitome of 'tell don't show' sanctimonious dialogue. It's cringe worthy.
Brief synopsis and issues. Some spoilers but they're very general and don't give the story away.
In book one, our MC is introduced as having an accident which has clearly made him lose the use of his legs and has become basically a hermit dependent on his insurance money. His friend (who luckily recovered from something similar) bought him a winning lottery ticket where he got VIP treatment in this new game...medipod, full immersion...standard tropey stuff.
Now, my issue with this is that our MC regains the use of his legs and never ever, even once, mentions this. It's just normal. I mean, I'd be pretty overwhelmed emotionally, physically...to have the use of my legs back would be an insanely amazing thing! But no, the MC just carries on as normal.
He gets an amazing character through his VIP status with loads of benefits but then gets attacked by a guild that likes to steal new players stuff. Rather than dealing with this (because it's a bloody game!) our MC has a hissy fit and deletes his awesome character to reroll in a normal/crappy one. Ok, seems a bit stupid...but then! Whoop! The AI (who only seems to talk to him - because he's really the messiah) lets him know that actually, his awesome character was really bad all along and there's an advantage to being rubbish. Ooohhhhh kaaayyyy...ffs.
It goes on like this for the whole of the first book - our MC does it all the right way and everyone else has done it the wrong way. Even to the point where a "God" does a deal where he has to give up 3 levels to get an awesome boon...but our MC doesn't lose anything with these three levels...oh no, it actually equates to another advantage! It's just stupid. He also manages to finish the super hard dungeon first time with his friends (with very little danger at any point) and gets 50,000 gold! 50,000!!!??? Up until then things had been costing like one or two...suddenly they get 50,000 and no one says anything about it! Nothing, nada, zip. They aren't like..."ooo what cool stuff can we buy?!" or "Wow, why so much gold?". Nope...they say nothing. It is just infuriating!
Every other guild in this book is also evil. They're slaving rapists who just want to destroy a game that has allowed players to run rampant over the AI NPCs...because...that makes sense! Just make a rapey sandbox sex game if that's what you're going for! No need for this story. Also, they continually make our MC to be this mega hero...when really he's just a normal bloke who gets almost everything handed to him and never ever makes a mistake or is in real danger. He get's properly hit once, but is fine and manages to defeat a massive group, again. Bleurgh! And he gets a million "stuff"for doing it. It's essentially like saying "Oh, you don't believe in raping and killing everyone? Wow, you're such an amazing person. Why don't you be king!"
Every action he makes is analysed for why this makes our character good and why all the rest are evil. It's silly. Don't tell me why, show me why and let me make my own mind up.
Just to highlight the silliness - at one point, a girl player is taken hostage by a guild in the game. Her Aunt, a well paid lawyer gives up her job to go into the game to rescue her. Rescue her from a game that she can turn off at any point...I know what any relative of mine would say if I asked them to give up their well paid job to come rescue me in a computer game because I messed up and can get out of it, but don't want to...it would be a two word sentence ending in off.
Overall, this book is pretty awful and it's a shame. I wish the author didn't feel the need to explain everything and just told a story instead of telling us how good his unlikeable MC is.
I read this back and realise it is incredibly negative and not at all like much of the other reviews. Maybe I have different tastes. I'm almost certainly not the target audience. Maybe a YA may enjoy it. Who knows. I hated it.

Basic premise man has an accident, and loses the use of his legs meets a friend in rehab. During the 2 years in rehab they get to know each other rather well and share the love of gaming.
A new game comes out, and they start playing this game, and when he creates his new character he gets to start off as a unique race, and gets a special weapon that is rather flashy.
He meets a group of people in game already and they had been watching him, and greedily eyed his weapon. They befriend him only to get him to bind inside of a dungeon with them. Then they boot him from the party and repeatedly kill him wanting the sword. So instead of giving up the sword after they knock him back to level 1, he re-rolls his character.
This is the story about what he does even with all the penalties for re-rolling, and the hint that he is given not to be in a hurry to rush to level. What he figures out is that it is easier to get skills when you are lower level, and that skills are at least as important if not more than important than levels.
Through the first two books, he forms a guild with other people through the same friend from rehab, and many of the core people have physical handicaps in the real world. They become stronger and end up forming a settlement with a mine in the area, which other players eye with greed.
Coming back around to the start of the first book, the same group of people make their way to his gates and this sets off a large battle.
5/5 I really enjoyed these books, and am looking forward to more, even at the expense of another series by this author that I was waiting for.

Ok, I’ve been playing RPGs for (gulp) over 40 years, from classics like Traveler to D&D and GURPS (if you’re not a RPGer, don’t worry - that’s just to try to establish “street cred” with those who are), and I’ve been reading GameLit and LitRPG since before those terms really existed, so I know “the good stuff”. I gotta say, Robyn Wideman writes the good stuff buffed up hugely. I’m so very happy I came across his RE-ROLL, the first book in his new New Realm Online series. This is the start of what I can tell you is totally perfect and truly epic LitRPG fantasy. It’s also just a perfectly fun and wonderful novel for those who don’t even know RPG means role playing game. It was so addictive in fact that I immediately turned to Book 2, Broken Bones. Quite frankly I cannot tell you which one is better - but if I could give each more than five stars I would. Totally fun exciting adventures with really perfect character development (both lead and supporting characters, good guys and baddies), a really well thought out RPG system (I only wish there was a system that worked this well) and a simply wonderful plot line in each book that (even though the books are sequentially stand-alone) works perfectly in what’s developing into one heck of a fantastic story arc. Really my only regret is that there wasn’t a Book 3 yet for me to binge into. As to either of the first two books, all I can say is highly recommended and, please Robyn Wideman, hurry up with that Book 3!

Highly entertaining story that could use an edit
With the understanding that a good story outweighs errors in type and text, I found this book - as well as the first in the series - highly entertaining to read. The mix of gaming within the storyline was original and well-placed. By only complaint was that the author often turned the name of a guild into a completely different name - for example, "Blackhearts" called "Broken Hearts" - which read like he'd lost track of his reference notes and was confusing. I'll give credit, however, that his focus on keeping the plot on track overcame him in priority (and is worth more than a name anyway). I think an edit would easily bump this book to 4 stars. If you enjoy Lit RPG, this was a fun romp through a unique world. I especially enjoyed the thorough system used to express the gaming features, but my favorite thing is the quality of the characters and realistic description of how real-life MMORPG players can get caught up in a fictional world. There are those who enjoy the experience of clans filled with good gamesmanship and, alas, those players who unfortunately enjoy ruining it for others. That plays a pivotal part in this book series' plot. Great entertainment.

The quest continues!
The first book in this series was a breath of fresh air in the litRPG style, with a sassy AI interface, med iPod characters, and a game that I want to play. Book 2 continues, with more of an emphasis on battle and expanding the world.
While I preferred the first book, this gets hot and heavy into more dungeon crawls and battles and is still a fun read.
An example of the writing - it feels like there's a big reveal waiting about the AI, entertaining in the meantime:
"Congratulations hero! You have increased your charisma by +1. Helping the poor and helpless out of the kindness of your own heart goes a long way doesn’t it?
Congratulations hero! You have increased your constitution by +1. Working all day makes Ryan a dull boy. Take a break, nerd.
The AI did have a point. Working all day on crafting skills did get a little mind numbing after a while. Luckily, I had no shortage of fresh crafters that needed guidance and that kept things interesting."
4.5, rounded up to 5 as I continue to the next book. It could use another round of editing as that can sometimes be distracting.

Another fun read, classic D&G meme
Gotta love an underdog overcoming adversity story. The MC and his Broken Bones guild continue to level up, while gaining allies, rescuing the unfairly imprisioned, handling various quests and even doing some dungeon diving.
Spoiler: The Braven and Blackheart guilds experience more pain than they expected (but not even close to what they deserve). Still, the 4 dick-head founders of the Bravens are still out there and I'm looking forward to seeing how they reap the whirlwind after their grimy activities. There are also various threads to be completed. The Orc guild from the north, trade agreements with friendly towns, the corporate pro guilds and the search for royal survivors.
Im looking forward to book 3.

Getting better!
I will make this brief. Book 1 was an excellent story but had many editing issues. While there were a few here, that aspect was much better.
Broken Bones (New Realm Online book 2) is a continuation of the story of Ryan Rosa in the online world of New Realm. Using brains plus brawn over brawn, Ryan and the members continue to pull through scenarios that should see them defeated. They continue to prevail, however!
I am not going to give anything away here simply because this book along with Book 1, Re-roll, are must reads. Robyn Wideman is an excellent story teller. You will come to love the characters and their adventures. I look forward to the next book!

Help me read more books
I like LitRPG stories with building in them. This book has that in a fairly good measure. It also has bad guys getting what's coming to them (never get enough of that), and (by the end) some epic alliances. Fantastic stuff. If you read the first one, then you know how fun it is, don't hesitate, grab the second on, and get reading. If you've not read the first one, and you're just checking to see if the book is worth reading, then by all means, don't hesitate, go grab a copy and get reading. This is what LitRPG is all about folks.

Massive plot errors
Mainly the author gives and takes away skills to make the current scene more dramatic. Easiest examples, the MC gave up levels but kept the stats from leveling up, enabling him to fight a bit harder... until it was cooler for him to fight without that minor stat bonus. The pet gained the ungodly stealth skills of the MC, allowing brutal ambushes... until it was time to add more tension to a scene.

What's the difference between Good and Bad Guilds, War!
When you have a Guild that is sworn to fight for all that is good, you need to fight monsters, raise all your members and frielnd skills and levels, and fight the Guilds that enslave NPC's and other Guild noobies.
Then expect that those evil Guilds will come after yours at some point.
WAR IS COMING!
Great from start to end.

Not bad at all.
It's been a few months since I read the first book, but it all came back seamlessly.
The pace is fast and the action is frantic.
The main character does seem to get extraordinary lucky, and whenever they say "this worse thing can't possibly happen" it very quickly does happen.
There are a few plot errors here and there, not enough to knock it down a star.

Broken Bones??
This title does not Do this book justice. They were more than enough “broken bones” throughout the entire book. This book should’ve been called “kicking ass and taking names”, lol. That make it censored I’m not sure not. This series has a lot going for it and I am excited to see where it will go in the future books.

Waiting for number three
As I started reading this I realized partway through the book that I was going to like it and that there was only two books written so far. I usually try to only start a series if there are at least three books available but now having burned through both, I will have to wait.

Great story
Wonderfully crafted story and character development. This is a good follow up to the first book and resolves issues which were left hanging. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that it could have used better editing, as there were numerous misspellings and unintended word choices.

Excellent book!
The characters and world is well developed, and a pretty good read. The only real problem I had was the editing could have been better. Main problems I had was wrong words used, tenses mixed in the same sentence, and once he seemed to mix up the player's gender.

Good progress after the first book. Highly enjoyable to me
Good built up and constant action with decent character development. People coming to terms with their role and a healthy dosage of pvp in this has me eager for the next book.

Love the book
Really enjoyed all the character growth and some very interesting new characters joining together. Lot of fun and tons of action. It was great to see some old business composted. Anxious for Three!

Nice and interesting read
Characters are varied. Plot is adequate with nice fighting action. Final fight was good but the ending was terrible. Looking forward to more results in the next book. I am not a big fan of the cliff hanger however did leave us a teaser.

Great second book. lots of action and crunchy.
Great second book. lots of action and crunchy. Main is gutsy and driven so he finds plenty of trouble. Bad guys are pretty bad so being roughed up is their just deserts.

Good story
The author writes a good story but character background and motivation are lacking, especially for secondary characters. Also needs to proof read better as he mixed up guild names and adversary names on occasion.

Looking for more
This is light reading yet quite enjoyable. MMORPG gamers especially will enjoy this. The movement of the story is smooth and not forced. Easy flow you can loose yourself in.

Flat world building and characters. The main character becomes more and more Gary Stue and has to solve all the problems in the world. The permanent wins against overwhelming odds are very unrealistic. The story is predictable but okay.

great series
I enjoyed the first book but this second was far better. The story development is on point and the pacing makes it feel very in tune with game progression. Definitely worth a read.

Excellent second book!
I really like this series of books. The story holds my interest, and the action is very satisfying. The challenges and the characters are well set up and so entertaining. Highly recommend!
