Resumen del Editor

Reborn five years in the past. A second chance to do everything over. What would you do? For Ashlyn, being reborn five years in the past is both a boon and a bane. She’s reborn in the wreckage of tragedy, forced to deal with a life that she messed up before. Now, all she has to show for her life is five years of accumulated knowledge in the greatest virtual reality game ever released - Elysium - and the pain of friendships lost.

This time, Ashlyn is going to make a difference. This time, she’s going to fix the mistakes she made and save the relationships she lost. And to do that, she’s going to use all the knowledge she gained from the future to blaze her way to the top with a new class: the Mystic Mage.

Nice set up, MC needs a challenge!

The main character currently has no challenge as the rest of the players have yet to truly start figuring out the game. So right now she seems over powered. Its a nice set up and is on the verge of being a really good story or bad story. Unlike her other trilogy I think this one could do with the main character getting thrashed a few times and facing some heavy road blocks. Not to mention some players that absolutely thrash he in PVP as people get into the full swing of this game. Uncover some flaws in her build that she has to figure out ways to deal with. As the story kind of shows her as a good player but not really one of the best. She just has a huge advantages right now. If she doesn't have some major set backs and flaws to over come in the story as the rest of the players get the hang of the game, plus some twists, I am afraid we are going to have just a Marry Sue character. Crossing my fingers!

Books a little short feels like a bit more should have happened.

Not bad

Heads up I did have to speed up To 1.10× 1.15× is not bad She reads a little too slow But the story is interesting The characters are likable Give a chance you should be disappointed I do believe it's cheaper if you buy the kindle an the audible I think I bought the kindle for $2 And the audio for $7.49 So don't waste a credit I think a credit is around 11:40 or something like that

omg i need book 2

sar on this book for a while cuz i didnt think i would like it as much as the touch of power series...man was i wrong. this book was amazing. absolutely loved it

Fun story, Unique characters.

This is not your typical -1 man-1 world to be saved Story imperiotic Not your typical Overpowered character Not your typical villains I rather enjoy Jay Boyces take.

I wish I could play this game!

I loved this book. I can't wait fornthe next book. I wish I could know what kind of character would be made from my choices. I strongly suggest reading this book.

decent

In my opinion it isn't as good as "a touch of power" (or at least not yet), but it has a lot of potential and I flew through the audiobook. Fair warning that there is a lot of grinding and crafting. How the world, plots and characters progress in the series will be what will make or break this series for me.

Outstanding

Hate that the book ended because I am absolutely loving the story. I really appreciate the combination of personality traits used to create conflict without dumbing down the MC. Really looking forward to the next book.

amazing

wonderful world building, but just a little slow at the start. listened to the whole thing in under 24 hours.

its good. I only have one complaint

I generally struggle a bit with VR litrpg unless the author can create an important reason to care... for example 1. I need money for my mothers heart transplant. 2. I need money to escape an abusive situation at school. 3. I feel the npcs in this virtual reality are actually sentient and I want to protect them from the players who will abuse them 4. the vr game is somehow real. 5. vr has become a death game by developer and I am trying to escape... etc. etc.

this game doesn't have that and I'm unsure what the main characters motivation is other than just to have fun.
I still enjoyed the book but I was waiting for her goals to emerge.

Excellent writing. Excellent LitRPG.

Very well done! I am ready for many more books to follow this first one. It was like playing a newly released MMORPG with all the fun of playing a brand new adventure for the first time.

Loved that the PK'ers and griefers got what they deserved.

Keep up the great work Jay!!
