About this listen

Is it easy to survive in the game world? You could say yes, if you didn't know what the additional conditions were. They are unusual: it's the real world in which you have lived all your life. The enemy, craving to destroy you. Your own class who couldn't care less about you. Are you still sure that survival is easy? Then welcome to The Game! It will prove you wrong.

Confusing

Honesty, what was an interesting idea based on the overview turned into a really confusing narrative. Far too many twists and turns made it really hard to follow.

Disappointing

After devouring the Way of The Shaman books, I was excited to start this. It is no where near the quality of Shaman. I think the translation is possibly to blame. It is clunky and doesn’t flow. I lost intersest quickly but battled through - wont be downloading future books in this series.
