Alt Control Enter: A Battle Royale GameLit Novel

Kingsman Online, Book 1

By: Kody Boye

Narrated by: Lisa Anthony

I’ve always used video games to get me through the hard times, especially throughout my mother’s terminal illness. Tasked as not only her caretaker but my little brother’s as well, I long to give them a better life and save my mother’s in the process. This is why, on the day of the Kingsman Online Regional Championships, my ranking in the horror shooter Dystopia is so important. But just when I think I have my ranked placement in the bag, a rolling blackout sweeps the city, leaving me not only devastated in the present but hopeless about the future.

However, it seems things are not completely lost.

When a strange man claiming to be from Kingsman Online arrives and offers me the chance of a lifetime, I can’t refuse it.

The gaming company promises a completely immersive experience for their players in the regional championships.

Little do I know, I’m falling straight into a trap.

Alt Control Enter

This book has a great concept. Battle Royale has definitely grown in popularity lately and this book delivers the reader into just that. A Battle Royale setting known as the online gaming world of Dystopia. I personally would have liked more interaction between the players in the game and less of NPC characters, but the book is still a fun read. I'll be checking book two out to see the fate of the two main characters.

I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review from the author/publisher/narrator.

great read

I received this book for free for a honest review. This storyline was well written and held together. Corrupt companies, teenagers, hope. This book has it all. The author did a fabulous job of bringing the characters to life . Reccomend

A fun game-lit novel

I enjoyed this book. The story was unique within a game world the author designed. The narration was slightly muffled but professional and once you get into it's pretty immersive. The writing was a little clunky here and there and could've used more visuals rather than abstract similes but I liked the world and character development.

a good Hunger Games esque survival litrpg

I really enjoyed this Hunger Games Style litrpg.

it was enjoyable to not have OP main characters, and see the various ways they came up with to survive in the harsh game world. feeling definitely left you wanting to find out what happens in the next story

my only negative was the narrator. there was not much variation in her voice for the various characters in the story. I think was practice though, she has a good future in this.

A good read for the Young Adult crowd

This story was a bit young for me, but it's a great read for the young adult gamers out there. Interesting in premise, it's a fascinating story with a strong family centering it. I mostly enjoyed it, though I felt the reader had a bit of a flat style and could have added more emotion to the work.
