First of all, I really the concept of the story. I am quite a big fan of sci-fi, so this was an enjoyable read. I wish you'd develop a bit more certain ideas, because I feel like it's moving too fast from one idea to another, and that takes me a little out of the story. Also, in some chapters there is a lot of dialogue. This is not a bad thing, but I think it should be a bit more balanced with the description, with the inner thoughts of the character, to give it more depth. I consider that too much dialogue, without breaks, is a little tiring and difficult to assimilate. Of course, that's up to my preferences. Overall, you're doing a great job so keep it up!

I understand your feeling of moving too fast. but to explain why I have it that way is to also explain what I intend to do with the story. I have never finished a story I ever started to write. I want to finish volume one at least before I really get in to rewrites that I know that I need. I will probably do a rewrite of each chapter while publishing auxiliary chapters before I even start volume two. At this moment (ch 9,10) is setting up an arc that is the middle act to my story with about two more arc's in it. At least that's the intention. All of this is is subject to change because all of this is just coming off the top of my head as I write it. In fact most of 9 and all of 10 would not exist if I stuck to my original plan. I think that's why I put a massive amount of dialogue in. I'm trying to flesh out the characters as i write them. That and I like the characters perception of reality to inform the reader rather than my own. Feels more organic to me. Sorry if this is a lot to take in, but felt like explaining myself and why there is a high pace. And thanks for your review, it really is appreciated.

'Divinity Online'. The new breakthrough in the Full-Immersion Virtual Reality technology. After decades of work, Divinity Corp had achieved the impossible. Creating a massive video game world that people can enter and live in as if it were Earth. Their goal was clear, to create a world other than Earth that we can call home. A place where the laws of reality vanish, and the true ceiling of power shifts completely. Naturally, the shockwave Divinity Online created across the entire globe was unlike anything else. Every single person has heard of it, even those who have had no interest in video games before. Giant corporations and even governments immediately rushed to start planning to invest in this new world and just like that, billions of people had their eyes on one single date: the 19th of July. *** Arthur, like everyone else, had heard of the game and was as excited as everyone else to try it, if not even more. With how much he grew bored of his life on earth, this fantasy world was like the divine call he had been searching for. However, there was a very small problem. He had no money to buy the machine required to access Divinity Online. His wretched life had turned him into a broke teenager with no parents, and no relatives. But, by some kind of luck, he got his hands on one of those machines. Not knowing what was awaiting him in that world, Arthur was simply seeking one thing... A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far. [Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.] [Assimilation Started...]
