Cassie is about to have her dream retirement, joining her favorite gaming world, Biprism Realm. A world filled with magic, portals, pocket realms, towers to eternity, monsters, and, most important of all, steampunk elements.

Most people would have balked at the idea of spending their retirement in a virtual world. Selling their pension for a chance at a better start in a new world filled with magic, mayhem, and monsters.

Fortunately, Cassie was one who wished to sell everything.

Rather than banking on possible restarts, Cassie decides to throw everything she has into one glorious start. Throwing away her future for the best possible start imaginable. With this, she will attempt to do what many before her have tried and failed at before her.

Unlike everyone else, Cassie has a plan, for this will be the rebirth of her new life.

The performance is excellent, the story and world is good, and i have very much enjoyed book 1, 2 and now about half of number 3. However, the author could really have used some more proofreading at some point. the writing has an infuriating tendency to use redundant language, things like "i mentally thought to myself", or paragraphs repeated with slight difference.

This along with the author writing the kind of character with a lot of inner dialogue and tangents, makes a lot of it come across as extra waffley. I wouldn't mind this as much if these flaws in the writing weren't as common (I would say easily once every one or two minutes during listening).
The narrator faithfully reads off every typo and mistake too. things like "straffing run" with the perfectly pronounced typo, or "I couldn't in good consciousness".

Despite this I am very much enjoying the story and characters. just, please author, get some proofreading, it burns my brain.

Great story, full of poor language.

A clever woman having a blast in an mmorpg style afterlife. Plenty of intrigue and surprises throughout the book, had me finish it in just 2 days. Would strongly recommend to LitRPG fans that want a break from the murder hobos. One downside is that even though the mc has interactions with some people, she is very unsociable and doesn't really show any interest in anyone else. Like many LitRPG, the mc is hyperfocused on growing, which leaves her with what essentially is a solo run. Despite all that its still very good and entertaining!

Uniquely non-violent LitRPG

Very much liked this first entry overall. if you're lookiny for dungeon crawlling and fighting, this book isnt for you. Its a simple story. girl enjoys her retirement in a Vr world, has an evasion to killing and runs from it, however she does cause abit of light chaos as she goes about. its interesting and i look forward to book two. my only issue is its abrupt ending.

Enjoyable overall

This reads more like an unplanned wish-fulfillment and the narrator keeps changing her reading speed, making it hard to find the right speed for playback. This story is not the worst, but it far far from the good.

The narrator and story is meh
