Summary

In 2056, the world’s most powerful AI System, ARKUS, comes online. Created to extend human lifespans, it quickly makes world-changing discoveries in health science. It also develops an advanced VR headset that uses consumable nanomachines to let users experience time faster in virtual worlds.

Two years later, ARKUS releases World-Tree Online, a game where players scale a giant tree with thousands of unique game worlds hanging from the branches. The game’s time-dilation makes it so that one hour of playtime feels like one month to those in-game, allowing humans to virtually extend their lifespans.

However, after an old gamer named Vincent joins World-Tree Online, an update begins that stretches the time-dilation to one year for every five seconds. Players are unable to exit the game during the update—with an estimated wait time of three hundred sixty years.

After experimenting with an exploit, Vincent begins to develop new spells that will take him higher in the game than he ever thought possible. Unfortunately, he crosses paths with the last moderator, a young man named Lucas that uses his mod abilities to torture and subjugate other players. Lucas is willing to abuse his power to conquer the World-Tree, but Vincent’s exploit might just be the key to stopping him.

sword art online in a book for the west

The premise for this story is almost exactly the same as the anime sword art online from 2012.

The story is entertaining. I enjoyed the anime and this book re-lives some of that for me but I do feel it doesn't add anything new.

A decent listen none the less. Would recommend if you liked the anime

Brilliant, Jeff Hays and the team did it again

This book had supriseingly more depth than I would have expected. Also, I didn't really mind the time skips as I would imagine the goal of the book was to tell a story and not just recite annoying stats at the listeners.

Jeff and the team were great in this and the music after the prologue was a great piece.

If you're a fan of lit Rpg and you want an engaging story with rpg elements, then give this book a try.

Great story

Well worth listening to this. A great story that poses a very interesting human rights and philosophical question with regards to the gaming future. Really enjoyed it. 👍

A Surprising Gem!

Can't believe how good this is, only thing I disliked was Lucas, too childish.
