Awaken Online: Catharsis

Jason logs into Awaken Online fed-up with reality. He's in desperate need of an escape, and this game is his ticket to finally feeling the type of power and freedom that are so sorely lacking in his real life.

Awaken Online is a brand new virtual reality game that just hit the market, promising an unprecedented level of immersion. Yet Jason quickly finds himself pushed down a path he didn't expect. In this game, he isn't the hero. There are no damsels to save. There are no bad guys to vanquish.

In fact, he might just be the villain.

Very engaging, and the narrator works hard to make a splendid performance.

Very good! I couldn't stop listening. The narrator surprised me when he used sound effects to add to his performance so it took me a while to get used to it. Once I got into the swing of things though, I really enjoyed what he was doing. Add to that the fact that the story is engrossing and addictive, and it led to a very late night of giddy childish squeals of delight. If you are looking for that nich of video game books, then this scratches that itch in a powerful way.

Probably one of the best LitRPGs around. Just finished my second listen, and still very satisfying. Highly recommend

great book

A great book series. Cant wait to read the next! Its just as fun as RP1.

Epic LitRPG

Wow, this LitRPG is downright amazing. It is fantastic from start to finish. The narration is very well done too. I will definitely be checking out book #2 in the near future.

surprisingly compelling

very well written and developed. i love that Jason isn't a cookie cutter hero archetype
