Continue Online Part Three: Realities

By: Stephan Morse

Narrated by: Pavi Proczko

Worried for his sanity after poor in-game choices, Grant Legate’s sister, Liz, blocks access to Continue Online. With no way around the restriction, he ventures into a new world—a VRMMO game based in space—called Advance Online. There he must help his companion AI, Hal Pal, overcome an identity crisis, race to the center of the universe to bring back his true love, and figure out where he stands on the scariest implication of all; AIs are bringing the dead to life.

Definitely a detour but still good

This series exists in the LitRPG genre but pushes the cliches out of the way to show a deeply thoughtful story. Be warned. The online world of continue is replaced in this book with Advance Online. It is a Sci-fi game set in space.

The change of pace was unexpected but good

I wanted more Morogul's Gift and Echo but laser and spaceship battles was interesting as well.

The pull of this series is the main character's relationship with the voices of continue online, Hal pal consortium, his twin sister, nephew, his ailment and his deceased wife. The rest is topping and serves as background to the story. Can't wait for the next installment.

Confusing Plots

To many Plots within Plots for one book the author should have narrowed his focus. Because we were flipping between realities, it got confusing and hard to follow, losing cohesiveness of a fine novel. Though still I recommend this book, it is with regret because this audio book could have been a lot better if the Author could control his focus. The Plots cause confusion and can be hard to follow, they are to numerous and lose the reader to easily.

Makes you ask yourself questions.

Narrorator was great and the story makes you ask yourself "How will I react to A.I"?

great book

This whole series has been wonderful. It's well written, well performed too. I would really recommend this series to anyone who enjoys RPG games and stories.
