This is a pleasant story of person forced to be in an immersion pod online because the bad corporations control everything. The story mirrors many books in this stereotyped genre. Same real life family circumstances, a hero with latent special powers, a snarky AI and a host of other basics. Half the book was leveling from level zero to level three by killing low level monsters and camping. I also am beginning to hate every time one of these audio books has to read every line on a “character sheet”, “Watching” someone else make difficult decisions on assigning stat points to strength or wisdom is low level entertainment. Seasoned gamers, especially in the early years of gaming, have struggled leveling a new character with meaningless entry level quests and grinding hundreds of low level mobs. Hours of mind numbing tedium. Fortunately this book is only 11 hours long so you don’t suffer too much,
