About this audiobook
This is Alterra, where you can be the master of your own castle . . . or a field hand on a farm. And this is Jack, who wants to make his way to a different continent, hidden in the virtual mist. And this is an ancient quest line, buried under new versions of the game.
Jack's goal: create his own guild. Buy a ship. And set off on the Great Journey. The journey of his life. The dangerous Gravediggers are not the only ones opposing him. Necromancers from sinister Nightmare, elite alpha-citizens, and relic hunters are only a small fraction of the enemies that the First Player will have to face.
In the perilous Wasteland, the drifter Jack finds an abandoned truck, where an old-world game console is hidden. This moment marks the beginning of Jack's path to the lost continent, hidden in the virtual depths of the colossal Alterra. He still isn't aware of the enemies standing in his way. Not only are the guild of Gravediggers and the sinister necromancers of Nightmare against him, but also the secret masters of the game world themselves. The discoveries of ancient quest lines, long buried under new versions of the game, give Jack access to the Dark Service. This is a special branch of character development, which is no longer available in the modern version of the game.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story. I get lost in the book with all the context.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Surprisingly good for this genre. The author had a story to tell, and didn’t mess it up with a huge amount of user stats.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The plot was interesting to begin with, but usually you would expect some sort of character development (flaws, identifying habits, connections). The plot just died part of the way through and the character began some perfect person that is entirely to fake or unrealistic to be satisfying. He was strong, smart, humble, poor, liked by all, charming. WHERE ARE THE FLAWS, this remind me of some Chinese translation novel where the character is a god among men where all others cant compare
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Started out really interesting, with a focus on game mechanics balanced with an interesting story and a hella compelling premise. About halfway through it forgot it is a LitRPG novel and became a run-of-the-mill fantasy story, disappointed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like Ready Player One, Dragon Age, & Red Dead Redemption had a baby.
