Almost 2000 pages of demonic alien-killing, blood-splattering LitRPG / LitFPS action in a dark science fiction world.
[ OVERTAKEN ONLINE. The world's first FPS VR-MMORPG with 100% immersion. Reminiscent of classics like Doom and Dead Space, but with RPG-elements that enable players to level up and develop skills – and sprinkled with a pinch of magic. ]
The 33-year old game designer Dex Walsh spends an entire year devoured by sorrow after the death of his wife. As a last-ditch effort to regain his joy, he sells everything and joins Overtaken Online.
Expecting to spawn in a noob-friendly area with guidance from his personal assistant, he instead finds himself naked and alone in a dark prison cell rapidly filling with gas.
Under-leveled and not knowing how to escape, he has no idea how far he will be able to progress as long as he pushes forward and doesn't give up..
Beware! This story - Blood and guts - Foul language! - Notifications / pop-ups / inventory management - No harem
This was a decent book. Not bad. But worth the read if you have spare time. I read all 4 books. Definitely a good series for older teenagers who like shoot em' ups and action series.
My main pet-peeve is use overuse of the word "micro-expression." I don't think that word means what the author thinks it means.
I think a lot of the time LITRPG reviewers go too hard on a book. (90% of people in real life don't know they can't pull a grenade with their teeth also it's a video game full of monsters. Why is this a point in a lot of reviews?)
