Publisher's Summary

Seamus is facing life in prison without parole. While doing his time, he's given an option by the Department of Justice and the biggest virtual game maker around, Mindblown Entertainment. If he will help them test long-term immersion, he will get the chance to play the latest game from Mindblown - Alpha World. All he has to do is sign away his legal rights and sign an NDA.

He's the first gamer to be sentenced to life imprisonment in a virtual world. What could go wrong?

MMO Hooked Me Right

Book one is Quick to get into what this series is I have been Unable to stop listing to this book and the others in this series,
If you LOVE MMO' style stories then this will certainly get you hooked.
its Story line is simple, Nice to listen to and before you know your wanting more before you know it the book has ended.
Then you start to learn that the beginning location is just the tip of the ice.
I can't recommend enough.

This is worth a second look

There are a number of cringy reviews of this book which I feel is unfair.

Our main character is a man of honor who is driven to do a terrible deed and then accept the consequences. When offered a chance to improve the quality of life for injured and crippled people, he volunteers for experimental long use immersive pod therapy. This then is the story of he and a random group of players playing the game, not the story of the game play. The placement of the character sheet can be a little jarring, but other than that it is a good listen.
There is the consideration of what the difference between the real world and the game world, some fairly well written adult scenes that leave much to the imagination and a well realised game world.

He is not the hero of the story or a super powered character, or even has isikai knowledge, Oue main character is an everyman, just dealing with it one day at a time.

Fantastic

The premise was a little disconcerting I'll admit -- the main character is a prisoner who is being experimented on -- but I was hooked the minute I picked the book up.
The depth in the characters -- the flaws that are present & the natural way that relationships form -- was refreshing.
The genre of LitRPG seems to be books about guys gaming & grinding, it's refreshing to see a book set in an MMORPG which is about the people and their personal development just as much as their character development.
Definitely a must read for anyone remotely interested in the LitRPG genre.

disappointing

Promising theme that never really got going.
No significant storyline after the first couple of chapters, but if you want to listen to a game walk through on the same level over and over occasionally interspersed with cliche schoolboy sex fantasy, this is for you. Very disappointing.
