Forever Fantasy Online, Book 1

De: Rachel Aaron, Travis Bach

Narrado por: Josh Hurley

A thrilling new novel for fans of Sword Art Online and World of Warcraft!

In the real world, twenty-one-year-old library sciences student Tina Anderson is invisible and under-appreciated, but in the VR-game Forever Fantasy Online she's Roxxy—the respected leader and main tank of a top-tier raiding guild. Her brother, James Anderson, has a similar problem. IRL he’s a college drop-out struggling under debt, but in FFO he's famous—an explorer known all over the world for doing every quest and collecting the rarest items.

Both Tina and James need the game more than they’re willing to admit, but their escape turns into a trap when FFO becomes real. Suddenly, wounds aren’t virtual, the stupid monsters have turned cunning, and death might be forever. Separated across a much larger and more deadly world, their skill at FFO is the only thing keeping them alive. But as the harshness of their new reality sets in, Tina and James soon realize that being the best in the game is no longer good enough.

Captured

This is a good one! Well written, unique story. I have listened to it twice.

Two actors, one lackluster and one amazing

While the story is one that i would like to follow, the male narrator needs to adjust his tone for the situation he is reading, he uses the same chipper tone for somebody getting murdered as he does when something wonderful happens. his lackluster performance steals any sense of dread from the book. his counterpart preforms wonderfully in comparison, matching her tone with what is being read.

Duuddddeeeeeeeee

I'm taking a star away for all the "Dudes" spoken throughout the story.

Seriously dude.

awesome rpg story

Scenario: Raiding party suddenly get trapped into a real version of the game they were playing. Death is real but no one believes the raid leader Tina so she resorts to beating up and dominating her party members into following her orders. So she can save them. 5 stars

Just ok

Roxxy's story was boring however, James's made up for it. Probably the only reason I finished the book.

The character of Roxy is very unlikeable as well as just about everybody in her party. The Raid party made pretty much zero cents most of the time. If you've ever played an MMO at endgame contact and are hoping that there may be some basic comparisons you're out of luck. They know the terms and classes but that's about all they got right.

James on the other hand. Was a pretty good story from top to bottom even if it was a hero start. If nothing else I would recommend reading just his chapters.

Twin story lines feed each other well

Sloowwww to start. Gotta grind through the initial four chapters or so, just like a real mmorpg. However once developed, the twin story lines of a brother and sister separately trapped inside the same VR video game that’s now real life, is quite entertaining. I wouldn’t call it gripping or can’t put down. But entertaining enough to enjoy. Character growth really stunts mid story and doesn’t seem to progress, just repeat the same patterns. NPC characters depth of personality and mannerisms is well crafted. Incorporating different player types and skills into the unique struggles is interesting and contemplating end game bosses that don’t have in game restrictions is an exceptional idea.

Enjoyed it and waiting for more

One of the better, if not best, implementations of MMO LitRPG that I have read through. Not making the player characters way overpowered, and not having the player characters restricted on approaches they can take to problems, significantly improves the story for most stories in this genre.

pretty interesting book

in my opinion it is worth a credit.
It has an interesting story but to some it might be abit too dragged out.
character development was good.
narrator did a good job for the voices

Slow burn

Good story, though I'd have trimmed some of the narrative of the march. I think I'm mostly annoyed not by the store itself, but by the fact I've actually had to lead idiots who thought it was reasonable to ask that during a life/death emergency, we stop and consult their feelings.

I've read/watched a lot of interpretations of the "have becomes real" scenario, and am intrigued by the premise that it was a fully fledged universe before it was a game. I look forward to learning how that happened, what's up with Sylent Blade, and what's going on with the Once Kind.

Bought it and returned same day

I had listened to the sample and was intrigued, however upon listening to the first chapter I returned it. There was going to be so much more expository than I wanted or even needed going into this. And with the comparison to other books of similar likeness this one is on the lower end of that genre.
