Imprisoned Online (Gaming the System)

A LitRPG Adventure, Book 1

By: P.A. Wikoff

Narrated by: Crystal Wikoff

Commit an online crime, go to an online jail. In this MMORPG penal colony, inmates PVP to gain EXP, loot, and most of all...survive.

Seph has been sentenced to play in one of these virtual correctional facilities. Sounds fun right? Maybe for some, but there is no worse punishment for Seph, mostly because he isn't a gamer. Will he be able to complete his sentence with all the trials and objectives thrown at him? Trapped in a virtual world he cannot escape, Seph now has to step outside of his comfort zone and align himself with the very thing he's been rebelling against his whole life - the system.

I'm really trying to get into it

I'm really trying to get through this. it takes almost half the book to get into the game and then the m.c. just keeps getting worse and worse.
the game mechanics are ok. pretty fun but the m.c. kinda ruins it.

enjoyable story

little different then other litRPGs. story is well written with a cool universe/ game line. only thing that was a little annoying was calling stuff racist or hinting at it being for dumb reasons. same with how naive the mc is.

narration is done well

looking forward to the next book

Good Book

I really enjoy this one and look forward to more in the series. thanks for a great listen

one of the best most original litrpg of 2019

this book from a seemingly unknown author to the genre really surprised me, the origin story, the gaming systems and character development were all spot on. the stats weren't as crunchy as some but crunchy enough to be entertaining and meaningful, and the way the author incorporates pvp and griefinng is perfect. the protagonist doesn't whine or wimper about getting ganked and killed and the author didn't make pvp the enemy like so many authors do giving their characters supercharged unrealistic abilities to somehow smash the pker. he treats it like it's just part of the game that you have to deal with and out smart not something to try and demonize and fetish kill. and I love that. great read 5 out of 5 can't wait for book 2

well done LitRPG adventure

I really liked this easy read. the Author's wife did the narration. she did a fine job.
