About this listen
The Earth has changed. War is now fought in an alien virtual reality - the Game - where many of the players are anything but human.
Now part of the Black Rose guild, Alan heads to the Academy to level up and get stronger. He hopes to make allies and learn skills to win the battles to come. But with everyone pursuing their own agendas, what can one gamer do in a universe he still doesn't fully understand?

took awhile to get into
at first I thought the book series was similar to listening to somebody play World of Warcraft... But eventually I got into it and I'm looking forward to a lot more!

A letdown
The character makes the same mistakes repeatedly. That's infuriating at best. The main character makes clearly bad decisions, decisions he is either advised against or knows from previous experiences to be poor decisions. He is inconsistent and acts in a chaotic or erratic manner. Jumping around insane, cowardly, stupid, whiney, and confident (when the risks are far worse and the reasoning so shallow you couldn't scoop any up with a bottle to hold onto). There is character growth and some game advancement. Except when its inconvenient for the author; that's when the frustrating main character is going to infuriate you, by committing the above sins, forgetting logic, reason, or anything he's learned to date.
The rest of story is at least somewhat interesting with some surprising twists. When the character isn't being written to go off the rails, he's more interesting and develops somewhat stably with some nice surprises built into the game environment and systems. There is a story here to be enjoyed, but the author's main character's erratic behavior means I still have no idea what is going on with him. I can't get a better baseline because the author uses his erratic behavior as a cop out for development in ways, that I feel he couldn't justify otherwise.
I still found some enjoyment in the book, but its flaws were almost unbearable at times. That said it did have great moments, but the transition towards being more self reliant is still a ways off. At least eve will sometimes criticize and berate Alan.
