World Seed: Game Start

World Seed Series, Book 1

De: Justin Miller

Narrado por: Neil Hellegers

The year is 2245, and the world has undergone explosive growth in multiple industries. The age of Virtual Reality came long ago, opening up new fields for people to enjoy and seek employment. There were even those that chose to sacrifice their physical bodies, becoming digital existences that lived within Internet communities.

But with the age of VR, everyone still dreamed of that next step, the next level of adventure. And after 100 years, it has finally arrived. The first consoles, known as Seeds, are mass distributed among the people, with such realism that they no longer qualified as a Virtual Reality, but as an Artificial Reality. But what happens when things become too real?

Funny and weirdly creative

Lol this genre combines magic and tech and the book switches between the two frequently. The author has done great tongue in cheek humor lol. Hellegers will forever have a 10 star rating from me

Could Be Better

If you could sum up World Seed: Game Start in three words, what would they be?

I feel like this whole book was just a preface for the rest of there series. There are really no consistent protagonist. Only in the last few chapters did any intrigue finally show up. I felt like this story reads more as a diary and less as a story.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Give it a villain/corporation that the main charter is growing to battle.

Any additional comments?

It is not a bad start to a series, but it really left a lot to be desired. I think that the author has a lot more to give as everything is very detailed and imaginative. I just feel like the meat of the story was missing.

Have finished all 3 books

Any additional comments?

Many of the reviews are correct. This book has very little story, containing mostly game mechanics. I'm writing this review here after finishing the third book. Don't give up on this series. The first book seems to be setting everything up. It gets more interesting and adds a tremendous amount of unique ideas to both LITRPG and SciFi. Once the second book comes suddenly there is a story and at least I, am finding it interesting.

the new spin on game play.

I've enjoyed that this story isn't like all the others being trapped in the game or having sex with all the girls in the story. I've enjoyed this from the beginning. like I'm already looking forward to book two.
plus it has my favorite speaker reading.

Stat Heavy

This first book is stat heavy. Good story though. Over all it flowed nicely and was easy to follow along, looking forward to Book 2.
