Hey there, author here! This is my debut novel! First and foremost, my story is incredibly slow paced! I mean that, seriously. So if you're looking for something fast paced and action filled, this isn't the story for you. Secondly, if you enjoy nothing but overpowered characters or the trends from cultivation stories, eg; faceslapping by chapter 3, "you're courting death", etc. type characters and stories, this is also not the story for you. Action was never intended to be the main hook of my story, so several chapters can pass without a single moment of combat. This is my take on the VR Game/VRMMORPG/litrpg genre, and while I use common themes from the genre, I try to twist them and make them my own. One of the major themes of my story is the butterfly effect, and if you pay attention, there is a good chance you may figure out major parts of the story before it gets revealed. Yes, my story is also chock full of references and nods to pop culture, mythology, folklore, etc. A lot of my character names are puns or references in themselves, so if you figure them out, feel free to comment. That is all for now, I hope you enjoy my work.

LIKEThe leveling system seems pitifully slow, at the current pace it will be 30years in the future for our MC to hit level 2000 assuming that further down the line the leveling speed crawls up to halt even more, at this point I'm left to wonder if it wouldn't be more practical to unlock all soul slots for the bonus stats rather than attempt to level up for that +1 attribute point...
It is slow, but do take in mind that during the beta they've got like four hours per day to play. This limit wont really apply once he can play the game all day at his own pace, so he'll quickly rocket up the early levels once he gets to the main game. Also, I don't intend to show off level 2000. The Quetzalcoatl seal is in a level 1000+ area, so as long as he's ahead of the pack on the leaderboard, he would be able to do the quest around that level. Which he was close to after only 15 years of playing to level.
