Allworld Online

Pride & Prejudice: A LitRPG Adventure

De: Lindsey Sparks

Narrado por: Annie Ellicott, Will M. Watt

The virtual world of Austentopia is every Jane Austen fan’s dream...until it becomes a nightmare.

Laid-off teacher Olivia Crawford feels lost without the everyday, personal interactions with her students. Attracted by the salary and the potential for a career change, she considers an offer to become a beta player for a new Jane Austen virtual world within the VR universe of Allworld Online. Swallowing her fear, she accepts the position…and the invasive neural implant that will give her access to the virtual realm.

When Olivia wakes from the procedure already inside the literary-based universe, she enjoys reliving iconic scenes as Elizabeth Bennet…until a glitch causes a fellow gamer to suddenly vanish. As more players disappear and Olivia finds herself unable to detach from her avatar, she fears a forced shutdown might result in her being permanently deleted.

Can Olivia figure out who’s holding her prisoner in cyber-Hertfordshire before it’s too late?

No Mr darcy

There's a slow romance that they entwine here but in the end the man treats her as a tool to fix the game. Turned the whole book sour. I thought the plot line would be about pride and prejudice but it was entirely about running from the matrix. It was well written and well acted, but the plot was meh and the romance parts were a bit cringe and ended on a sour note.

One great narrator, one extremely meh

the story itself was pretty, worth the credit for sure, though I'm also a fan of the podcast. I enjoyed the characters and the situation they find themselves in.

However, the narration...
Annie Ellicott was amazing! she did an outstanding job as she has in many other audiobooks I've heard her in. She makes the characters have feeling and seem more real.

Will M Watt though... all of his voices seem like they're on the generic setting. He doesn't read the feelings of the character. For example, early on he made an apology sound like he was mocking the MC instead of feeling regret. Lindsey Fairleigh did a much better job at the male cast on her podcast than Will did.

Overall I enjoyed it, but I will not be picking up the next in the series. Will M Watt's performance makes me wince too much to listen through another book.
