About this listen

Commit an online crime, go to an online jail. In this MMORPG penal colony, inmates PVP to gain EXP, loot, and most of all...survive.

Seph has been sentenced to play in one of these virtual correctional facilities. Sounds fun right? Maybe for some, but there is no worse punishment for Seph, mostly because he isn't a gamer. Will he be able to complete his sentence with all the trials and objectives thrown at him? Trapped in a virtual world he cannot escape, Seph now has to step outside of his comfort zone and align himself with the very thing he's been rebelling against his whole life - the system.

This book was an odd mix for me, the ingame part of the book engaged me with the characters and storyline both providing an entertaining introduction to the series, but the author simply took far too long to reach that point, taking 2-3 hours of the book's total runtime and not doing anywhere near enough to make me interested in the main character's life prior to their time in the game.

The performance of the narrator was also a little mixed for me, their range and tone worked well for the supporting cast, but didn't quite work for me with the main character as the voice didn't seem like it matched the main character and reduced my immersion in the book.

Overall, a promising start to the series and an enjoyable story once it finally gets going.

I recieved a review copy of this book. Unlike alot of litrpg books, this one managed to create a 'real world' that was both fascinating and fun. The game elements themselves area solid and interesting, but personally I will continue with the rest of the series mostly to see what becomes of the main character in the real world.

A classic litrpg with a twist
