Summary
Hell. This was absolute hell. Every day was hell to 2244, an NPC in the Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game known as AO. Just another prisoner of the game like all NPCs, she never expected her wish for freedom to be granted in such a grandiose way; a big event in the game leads to her suddenly becoming a mother, a hellspawn, and a queen, all within a matter of moments. Now tasked with maintaining a balance between keeping the Game Masters happy and trying to take down all of AO, 2244 discovers that there's much more to this game than just slavery and item upgrades.

Good NPC driven story
This is my first game-like novel that I've read from a NPC view point so have no direct comparisons. Though, I've read a lot of litRPGs and played my fair share of MMO/ RPG games so familiar with the subject.
The story follows a low level NPC who runs a shop. In this game all NPCs are created from a brain scan of real world volunteers. So this brings up very interesting questions of identity and digital slavery. This NPC who has all the same memories, feelings and experiences of the real world person she was copied from. She is forced to work in a shop, giving out items to real work gamers, not allowed to leave the shop and breaking character receives very harsh punishment from the system.
Through a unusual interaction with another NPC this lowly shop keeper is promoted by the system to queen status and has a leading roll in overarching game story.
I enjoyed the view point on the NPC and the interactions between the system/ GM (Game Masters) and the other NPCs. There wasn't much in-game character progression as when N2244 was promoted to Queen the GM boosted her level and skills. This is more focuses on the characters interactions between other NPCs, real life games, GMs and a plot to free all NPCs. It does have some game mechanic and game skills but they aren't as details as I usually like. This and world building might be expanded in future books.
Shannon Nicole Hamilton did a great job with the narration of this book.

intersting new litrpg, darker than usual
Great start of a new series, a game made up of "brain-copies" from real people, used as ai npc's, gamemasters and exploring the morality of this while trying to free themselves.
Great book, recommended, well narrated and decent lenght.
