This novel also reminded me of an anime called Sword Art Online which is about an MMORPG that takes place in virtual reality. It wasn’t boring at all to listen to and kept my attention throughout!

The narrator was really creative with the various voices of each character. This novel caught my eye when I saw the guy standing, looking like a pirate, and the monstrous spider behind him. What is going on behind the scenes with the developers? Will Olgard survive long enough in this strange new world to see his family again? However, something goes awry as he not only plays the game smartly but the “dying race” that he has chosen becomes more beneficial than others may have believed. So he starts working in the mines, digging away for various minerals and gems. His mission: to make enough money to pay off his loans and to get his dying six-year-old daughter a new heart. Same goes for this man, who becomes Olgard. However, for others, they use Mirror World as a way to make money for their families. In this world, you can become a powerful wizard, slay a dragon, become a great warrior, or even rule your own kingdom. Thought-provoking, thrilling, funny, and brilliant in every sense of the word.This exciting and thrilling novel is a LitRPG (literature role-playing game) set in an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) called Mirror World. 'Ambitious and highly addictive' - The Bookseller 'A thrilling, electric book - so sharp and quick, so witty and wise it leaves you gasping.' ? Katherine Rundell
