wow

I wasn't sure what to expect when I got this book and I'm honestly surprised. the author did an amazing job creating a character that was innocent and naive without the character being annoying or stupid. the story was really good and in looking forward to listening to the next one.

An interesting take on emergent AI

The ending makes me think of Soma, and I want to hug Gell until the world stops.

This book really made me feel for its main character, and has a series of events driven by understandable and terrible emotions. The main character acting like a kid is genious, an AI just trying to understand its environment, and I just want to jump in and explain why she's been hurt.

Other reviewers think that just because the main character acts like a child, it's a children's book. Unfortunately, many of the things that happen in the book aren't so childish.

This book is criminally underrated. It's not the best book, I've read, but it's a solid 9/10. I'm almost afraid of what happens next, and the ending makes me think of a video game, Soma. I really hope Gell's code wasn't saved just for her to suffer a thousand deaths in other worlds, doomed to never understand what's happening to her.

So Much Better

This was so much deeper and more thought provoking than I thought it was going to be. The author did an amazing job of writing this character, and the book as a whole. It isn't a campy litRPG, it's a very accurate take on an NPC slowly gaining awareness, and the implications that a self aware computer construct would have on both a game environment and the real world. I loved it, and I'm about thirty seconds from downloading the sequel. Cheers!

the story is so unique

Not what I expected, but much more I'm so glad I pick this audio book. The voice actress did a fantastic job!!

right in the feels

you really feel for the main character. such a well written story! Wish there were more if them.
