Awaken Online
Awaken Online: Catharsis | Travis Bagwell
5 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
Jason logs into Awaken Online fed-up with reality. He's in desperate need of an escape, and this game is his ticket to finally feeling the type of power and freedom that's so sorely lacking in his real life. Awaken Online is a brand new virtual reality game that just hit the market, promising an unprecedented level of immersion. Yet Jason quickly finds himself pushed down a path he didn't expect. In this game, he isn't the hero. There are no damsels to save. There are no bad guys to vanquish. In fact, he might just be the villain. (This novel contains graphic violence and language. If books had ratings, it would be rated "M" for Mature)

Blahhhhh. This was not good. I think we are supposed to think that the main character‘s evil actions are justified because it‘s in search for revenge and he just needed to learn to stand up for himself. But that‘s not how life work and he‘s actually a disgusting boy. Easy to read, but not worth the time. #readharder2019 #selfpubbed #litrpg #popsugarreadingchallenge

This is... not good.
I'm not sure I can continue reading what feels like an angry teenage boy's revenge wet dream. I can only see a particular group of people liking this.
I thought this book was gonna be really interesting, but it's just so full of stereotype and tired tropes and I only got 90 minutes into the audiobook.
As a gamer, I was hoping for much more.
If anyone has read this and it gets better, please let me know.

As someone who works with video games every day I wasn't sure I was going to want to come home and read about them too. Holy cow I was wrong
