This is one of those actual video game stories. As a gamer my entire life I sometimes have slight issues with the lack of limitations. Anyone in any of these stories can pretty much do anything but video games are not that advanced and they need to have safeties in place. You wouldn’t be able to assault other players. For all intents and purposes Beast realms is an entire world and there seems to be literally no limitations to what you can do. Why even make it a video game at all? They should have just had players transport into the world because honestly that’s how the story plays out. The only limitation I saw was that Npcs Can’t do missions to attack players. Even the NP c’s are incredibly advanced with limitless dialog that never repeats. To never any indication on how advanced an artificial intelligence could do this or any hints that the beast realms are actually real. I very much enjoyed the performance and this story. You just need to be careful with stories that take place in video games because if it’s a video game it should play like one. One of the main characters literally is doing experiments and stitching body parts together and all sorts of crazy things. There’s no way developers would let you do literally anything in a game and there would be some restrictions. I haven’t read anything else by this author but there were some definite plot devices just to move the story along where the main characters did something incredibly stupid. The main character essentially ignores a quest he can complete at any time that debilitates his character for no reason. If the author had created a timeline or an actual reason to ignore this quest as it destroyed his character it would make sense but he literally just ignored it which drove me crazy for 5 chapters. Also as soon as they get a valuable item the main character turns around and essentially gives it to an enemy. Enemy is in a fortified location has proven that he can defeat any character in game and They decide to attack himAnyway. However I do like the way the story ended and I and I did enjoy the ride so I will be purchasing the next. Is solid 3 or 4 stars depending on if you like the performance. Say 4. I’d recommend it.
