Synopsis

Everything has a price. Pangea Online is no different.

Since leaving the orphanage, Esil has spent the past year toiling in the data mines of Pangea while watching the wealthy elite traverse its myriad of game worlds. His luck changes forever when he discovers a legendary Developer's Chest. The Premium Worldpass inside grants him unlimited access to all of Pangea.

Now, Esil isn't just stuck watching as others explore Pangea. He can finally level up. With his newfound fortune, he enters a tournament to compete against some of the most skilled adventurers Pangea has to offer. He’s a long shot to win but for the first time in his life, being a kid from the slums has its advantages when he discovers a bug in the obscure data-mining class.

With an even playing field, he might just have a shot. But, his in-game actions have real-world consequences and failure online threatens everything he holds dear.

Honestly

It's a mixture of a Ready Player One and some other ideas. So... the story is solid enough and the characters are very likeable, but it is a bit unimaginative since it parrots some of those other titles. I like the narrator(s), but he is a bit monotone and has a hard time or doesn't know how to convey emotion well. However their performance is enjoyable enough to throw on in the background while you focus on something else. I received this title for free, but I honestly may snag another as I am still curious to see the story continue.

A great start

I enjoyed the book! It was a great introduction to what i hope will be an interesting trilogy. The plot was engaging and banter between the characters made me smile. Time to pick up the next one.

its a bit derivative of Ready Player One, but I’m really enjoying the narration and the story. I’ve purchased the other two books.

Plot armor luck to a fault

Boy gets a lucky break and continues to fall into good fortune for the rest of the story. Virtual reality where a dying planet has never met a toxic internet chat. Lacks any realism or stakes. Female narrator sounds the same no matter who she voices.

Low stakes fun

It's a fun book with no real trials or tribulations for the main character. No strong messages or opinions besides be "friendship is important", but the characters are likeable enough to keep me interested.
