Alone Once More

Alone Once More, Book 1

By: Neviara

Narrated by: Eliza Summers

How do you make a good first impression? Trial and error.

College is supposed to be an exciting time, an opportunity to meet new friends and make lifelong relationships. However, Kaitlyn was never the social type. Talking to people has always been hard enough, not to mention romance.

Getting transported into a dating sim seems like the perfect opportunity to change that.

But even here, affection is not so easily earned. As Kaitlyn is beset on all sides by grueling classes, stinging loss, and her own faults, her hopes for change slowly give way to a fear that she'll never escape the endlessly repeating semester.

Then again, anything is possible with enough practice. Besides, it's much easier to make a good impression the tenth time around. And no matter how many times she fails, she can always try again.

And again.

And again.

Great story, good performance

Fun and interesting story with a lot of potential but I do hope the other routes will have more action and drama. The voice for Kat is great but the Male voices can be janky or annoying at times.

Emotional roller coaster

This story takes me to places I never thought I would be reading about a girl struggling through college

Very enjoyable, if not using "new concepts" it uses existing concepts well.

While neither the time loop-which directly mirrors Re Zero, and far earlier time loop styles, nor the idea of being in a dating sim is unique, it does it incredibly well. Kaitlyn feels like a real person, she doesnt feel like what many characters do-and that is a characture of a real person. And that is the best part of this. The characters also feel like real people-I hope all the novels get released as audiobooks and not just the first two.

The performance is good, especially for awkward Kaitlyn and Heather, her bubbly room mate. The rest of the cast somewhat varies in quality.

Cheers for the good performance.
