In 2056, the world’s most powerful AI System, ARKUS, comes online. Created to extend human lifespans, it quickly makes world-changing discoveries in health science. It also develops an advanced VR headset that uses consumable nanomachines to let users experience time faster in virtual worlds.
Two years later, ARKUS releases World-Tree Online, a game where players scale a giant tree with thousands of unique game worlds hanging from the branches. The game’s time-dilation makes it so that one hour of playtime feels like one month to those in-game, allowing humans to virtually extend their lifespans.
However, after an old gamer named Vincent joins World-Tree Online, an update begins that stretches the time-dilation to one year for every five seconds. Players are unable to exit the game during the update—with an estimated wait time of three hundred sixty years.
After experimenting with an exploit, Vincent begins to develop new spells that will take him higher in the game than he ever thought possible. Unfortunately, he crosses paths with the last moderator, a young man named Lucas that uses his mod abilities to torture and subjugate other players. Lucas is willing to abuse his power to conquer the World-Tree, but Vincent’s exploit might just be the key to stopping him.

Anyway, the story is good as are the characters. The narrator isn't my favorite from Sound Booth Theater, but he does a good job as always. What really made this book stand out to me was the villain. I don't think I've ever read or listened to a villain written in a realistic manner as this one was. Most villains are villains because they want to be. "Mwah, I'm a bad guy because I want to be a bad guy and to horrible things to people." That's not how real villains are made. Often they are a physically/emotionally weak person who feels like they deserve far more than they've been given and suddenly come into the power they think they deserve.
That's what this author did with his villain. He's an emotionally weak, immature little twat who suddenly becomes a bigshot. In his mind, he's a hero, saving the world from itself. He then begins a downward spiral when people and events don't all go his way. He has so thoroughly convinced himself that he's the hero and anyone who opposes him is the villain. Bravo.
My only issue with the story is the timeframe. The book takes huge leaps forward in time. I'm talking decades in the virtual world, yet the characters advance only marginally. I don't think such massive chunks of time was necessary to convey the level of oppression and suffering some people felt under the villain's rule. In the end, it's a small thing.
Decent story with a perfectly written villain.

A bit different and can’t wait for book 2
Both narrators are good too
One of the best LitRPG audios

There are about 3-4 massive time skips, but with the exception of one dungeon crawl in the second half, everything's been pretty well paced.
The main villain is immature and borderline sociopathic, but you get POV chapters from him at all the right moments and it's all pretty believable. A couple of female characters lose their substance in their decades of abuse, but aside from that most of the characters have a brain.
The main character is quite creative, but not a master strategist.
The story starts off relatively slowly, but it picks up. The premise of the main character's unique discovery/advantage looks a bit shaky/contrived at first, but everything built on top of it is pretty good.
And the voice acting is great. Old guys sound old, kids sound like kids, and you can easily tell apart the main cast and a few more. Plus the well done sound effects.
