Esil’s life has completely changed since the events of the developer’s tournament in the first book, He’s been selected as one of the first to try a new full immersion virtual reality in a new game world. In this new world, every one of Esil’s actions changes the world around him, and he becomes more and more involved in the lives of the NPCs around him.
This was another great LitRPG that went by way too quickly! I prefer stories where the MC goes between real life and the game, and Esil’s story in and out of the game was interesting. I liked the new world, and the higher stakes in it, and thought the game world was fleshed out well. I’d love to visit more with the original side characters from the first book, but hopefully they’ll pop back in later in the series. Altogether, a solid LitRPG that kept me listening.
Like the first book, the voice for Esil fit well, and there was a separate female narrator for the female characters. The performance was seamless. The narration style in this book was a bit different, with sound effects included in the background. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.
