About this listen

Kai thought he had the best job in the world. Playing VR games for a living. Not if the games are trying to kill you. The Net is the last great frontier, a wilderness of data filled with mysteries beyond imagination. Bugs, a harmless annoyance in earlier decades, have become a deadly menace in times when gamers connect their brains directly to VR.

The Cyber Squad has been created to hunt them down. What used to be game QA in earlier times has become an elite, special force of the future, risking their lives to keep users safe. At first, joining the Cyber Squad seems like a dream job to Kai. He is paid well to be part of the coolest troop the gaming world has ever seen. But soon he discovers that the Net is a way scarier place than anyone would have suspected, and bugs are the smallest problem he and his team will have to face.

One of the best starts in any book I've listened to here, draws you into the story straight away. Absolutely great job done by the narrator

Excellent

this is a great story I didnt think i would get as into it as I did however it has done the same problem most books do where its stuck a target of the mc's attention in early and keep bringing it up he might aswell live in a different world to this girl they are basicly total strangers and everytime somthing important happens she gets brought up now dont get me wrong I actually like romances when they are well introduced and paced but you could of just as easily had her swoop in and save him like she does at the start him think she's pretty cool and then just not do romance until another book this one is such a great introduction to the world and main character my opinion of him goes down the toilet everytime we get a 5 minute tangent about how he's so into a girl he's spoken to exactly one time. don't let this put you off the book its well worth anyones attention just as someone who has listened to lots of books this is one of those tropes that always feels a bit forced

fantastic book but one glaring issue

I'm not usually a fan of LitRPG, but I liked other works by the author, so I gave this a shot.

I'm very, very glad I did!

I liked the LitRPG elements, and the author's flare for action scenes shows through in those parts. However, what really captured my imagination was Mocikat's take on the out-of-game world. I loved their take on a future where technically nobody needs to work, VR is free and UBI exists, and yet lives are reduced to merely existing for a virtual world.

Really interesting take on a not-so-distant future!

Plus, as a software engineer, I could appreciate the plausibility of the VR world. Particularly the day-0 glitches.

A more thought-out take on Ready Player One

Single minded youngster being exploited by a giga corporation. And of course hypnotised by the perfect a$$!

I was given a free copy of this book and I'm leaving an honest and voluntary review.

This is a great take on VR. its great fun with lots of action, humour and much, much more. the characters are great as is the world building. it quickly draws you in and keeps you very entertained.
the narration is spot on for this book, I'm so looking forward to book 2.
A must have.

what a ride.
