Summary
The year is 2375, and the world has been drained of most of its natural resources. In order to preserve their dying planet, the government puts The Digital Life Initiative into action.
Those deemed of low economic value are placed into a state of cryogenic sleep, their minds connected to a myriad of virtual worlds. They become digital citizens, living out their lives in virtual cities.
Kadia Greene wasn’t someone who had any interest in the virtual worlds, unlike her brother who spent his days wasting away in a VR capsule. Top of her class, and on the fast track to university, Kadia is horrified to find herself issued with a notice of digitalization. In an instant, her life begins to fall apart around her, but as she enters Kaledon, the newest and most realistic fantasy world on the market, Kadia finds her dreams and passion rekindled.
The First Tail is book one in the Nine Tails of Alchemy, a slice-of-life series set in a virtual world that follows the struggles and successes of a Kitsune protagonist.

amazing concept. beautifully executed
as a fan of fantasy and dystopian future, It's good to see it mixed together in a way that works. only negative point I have is how early into its production. I found it 😆

Must get for Alchemy fans!
Engaging, "hard to put down" story that just sucks you into the world. The sense of adventure and the unquenchable thirst of Kadia's curiosity combined with her meticulous descriptions of her experiments makes for a really entertaining combination.

Well made
a good book that is enjoyable to read.
the book starts out sounding more dystopian than it is, with those not contributing to society being digitally uploaded to other worlds. with the bonus that any disability is removed in that world, it even has connections to the real world.
writing is good, with a focus on the struggles of our mc as she is wrongly sent to digitalisation, along with an exploration of the world's alchemy, which have a for bit of explosion and exploration that you follow along with in a way few things feel like it is just for a scene and forgotten.

I was not expecting such a good story
I have listened to quite a few of these 'isekai' and 'VRMMO' titles before, and most end up quite disappointing. So I went into this one without any expectations.
From the very first chapter the story was compelling and introduced in a very natural way the reason for the VRMMO part. From there, the story was carried on by this initial premise and bloomed into a wonderful mix of MMORPG, mistery drama and plenty of pop culture references for the average gamer to pick up on.
This honestly has become my favourite series, sometimes it's a bit slow in parts due to how many recepies are followed, but they always have a purpose to why they are done.
This is a series worth a listen to. The really emotional parts hit hard, the comedy is on point and the know-how on the way MMOs (and their communities) work shows that the author had a passion when researching the topic.

Not for me
Sadly the MC is privileged, childish, vindictive, small minded, egotistical and whines constantly. I do understand the circumstance she finds herself is awful, perhaps these character traits are due to this, but it doesn't stop her from being someone who I'd instantly dislike on meeting.
Saying that, I did enjoy some of the alchemy insights, however, there was little action and it's very flighty in subject. Overall, not a bad book, quite interesting in places and concept, but it really isn't for me due to the mc.
