Summary

For three years, Rixon Caldwell has been the most lethal gamer online. He is undefeated in international play, and his stream is viewed by millions of avid fans each and every day.

When an unsigned email arrives inviting him to beta test the newest, most immersive MMO ever, Circuit World, he discounts the offer out of hand. For him, offers like this one are a daily event. He’s a brand, and charity is not his default setting.

When he moves to delete the email, his laptop screen vanishes, replaced with a glowing black and green MS DOS screen with a simple question: Do you accept our challenge? Y/N

Warning: This audiobook contains nontraditional relationships, violence, and a harem.

Mediocre story spoiled by a whiny teenage sounding narrator.

This was a pretty standard story of a person entering a mmorpg world and gradually levelling up. The basics were there but for some reason you were made to dislike the main character from the beginning. This was made worse by the teenage sounding whiny narrator; speaking like that not just when the character was talking but in the third person too.
Then come the sex scenes … really badly done and totally unneeded. The character was supposed to be 25 I believe but his sexual maturity was that of a fifteen year old. The scenes consisted of him grabbing a breast while the other party grabbed his “member” and then they had sex for thirty seconds and the female involved had an orgasm.
If this is the standard of this Author and Narrator, I will not be choosing any other books with either involved.

mediocre at best

the Beta Testing aspects in the computer world was unnecessary and didn't really go anywhere. the world name being Circuiy World doesn't really fit.

where is the story going?

Promising start, and generally enjoyed the performance and story but ultimately the main interest of the story, e.g how the main character ends up in the universe, why, are their other 'real' characters etc never materialises. feels like the first few chapters of a bigger book.
Also, the sex/romance in this book is frankly turgid, maybe a 12 year old might have penned this aspect?

Slow

The story itself was pretty good to be fair. However, the narrative was to slow for this style of scrip. If there is a book 2 in the future I will try it out, but it needs to be executed better.

Not for me

I didn't enjoy this book at all. The actual story had potential but I stopped listening after maybe 3 chapters. I was having problems with his arrogance to start with but it's not the first story with a knobhead as the mc I've read so I kept going. But after several really obnoxious comments 'thought' about a female character I just had enough. I'm pretty sure Mr Pierce is either 16 or 76 and watched a lot of 70s adult material.... if you know what I mean.

circuit world

An interesting twist on a gamers world although this has been done before and through many Anime cartoons and books this book made it quite interesting to learn some of the inner thinking's of a gamer

Okay

I really wanted to enjoy this, but found it very bog standard. The story lagged in places and I found the narrator sounded like he was phoning it in. Shame.

they should let you know....

this is really just a softcore erotic novel with a lit RPG face.... not really my cup of tea and I wish there was a way to know if that's what a book was.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Amazing!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This book is based on the fantastic idea of being in a video game. I'm certainly not a gamer, but the vivid world depicted within this story sucked me right in. Each character has been carefully crafted to fit into not only the virtual plot, but also so that they make the overall storyline fast paced, fun, and non-stop action, and I don't mean just fighting action. You'll want to put down your game controller and pick up this whole series instead.

Generic as it gets for the genre.

80% of this book is inner dialogue from the MC, observing the most basic expected rpg tropes with nothing new to add. The characters blur together. If not for solid voice performance I would not be able to distinguish the women apart. First Iv read of this author hope his other books are better, this one is not worth anyones time.

Random Harem theme

Nothing that sets this apart from any of the vlitrpg books. It takes all the most generic troupes and just amplifies them. As if its been auto generated by am ai. He is some awesome streaming living the dream. Gets a mysterious beta test device and gets telephoned into a game. Has not a single fight that theartens him. Then every girl that is hot, wants to have sex with him instantly. Because you know he's the mysterious chooses one. Had an hour left of the book and didn't finish it because my work shift ended and I could go home and find something better.

this mofo spent like two chapters talking about how he wanted to touch boobs but didn't dare cause maybe someone was watching....not worth listening to even if free.

incel fantasy with sprinkles of racism

I don’t think the author has met an anti-woman trope he doesn’t like. Throw in some anti-Asian “jokes” and drain any hint of cleverness, and you get this product.

The narrator did the best he could and was not good at female voices. Maybe that made him a great fit, honestly. But fairly decent work by the narrator.

Good book, hope to see more.

This was an enjoyable read. I certainly hope it gets the sequels it clearly sets up.

Eh

The concept is good, but the execution leaves much to be desired. The characters aren't developed very much, and halfway through the book, it leaves you wondering why anyone, protagonist and villains alike are doing anything in this story other than "they're supposed to." The main character's motivation is pretty flat other than it seems to be the role he wants to take on (or feels he should), and the developments between the other characters don't seem very natural. The sex kind of just happens with little to say for why these women find any interest in the main character. He's not particularly strong or has some amazing status. He's just a slightly above average nice guy who is helping them out...so as I read further, I ask my self more and more "Why is any of this happening?"

eh

the sex seem to be in it just for the sex and the characters they were there just for the sex and then they were gone there was no real sense of how the relationships are going to develop from there or with each other.
