“He needed to get over himself and start moving forward. Gone were the days of simpering self-loathing and anger. He was going to create something awe-inspiring with his life.”
Jason logs into Awaken Online fed-up with reality. He’s in desperate need of an escape, and this game is his ticket to finally feeling the type of power and freedom that are so sorely lacking in his real life.
Awaken Online is a brand new virtual reality game that just hit the market, promising an unprecedented level of immersion. Yet Jason quickly finds himself pushed down a path he didn’t expect. In this game, he isn’t the hero. There are no damsels to save. There are no bad guys to vanquish.
In fact, he might just be the villain.
Well I now know the next 10 books I will be reading. Haha
I’ve had this one on my list for a while and I am very glad I finally picked it up.
One of the unique things about this book is that we actually get to follow the “villain’s” pov. I mean not really, but I guess he would be a villain in the traditional sense of the word. I mean he does become a necromancer and kill a whole bunch of people and raise them as undead, but surprise surprise, he’s not even the worst person in the book. Haha
I loved the book from start to finish, I’ve always wanted to read a book where you got to follow the villain’s pov and while this isn’t quite that it’s close enough and I’ll take it. It’s also a litRPG which has been my thing this whole year so I easily blazed through it, and I cannot wait to get on with the next book. Definitely lives up to the many many high reviews.
