Mirror World Series, Book 1

De: Alexey Osadchuk

Narrado por: Kyle McCarley

The ads enthused, "The virtual lands of Mirror World await you! Live out your most secret dreams in our world of Sword and Sorcery! Become a Great Wizard or a Famous Warrior! Build your own castle, tame a dragon, conquer a kingdom! All those desperate, lonely, and insecure - Mirror World offers you a chance!"

But Oleg isn't meant to become a great wizard or a famous warrior. He'll never have a castle of his own. Nor will he ever tame a dragon. And he's definitely not the type to conquer a kingdom, however virtual it may be.

Oleg is doomed to toil away in the recesses of Mirror World's mines. His goal is to raise enough money for a heart transplant for his dying six-year-old daughter. The clock is ticking. Will he make it?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Osadchuk...Does a fine job showing off his knowledge of MMORPGs.... I'm impressed by the level of detail in this story." ( Mirror Slide Junction)

brilliant

such a fantastic book I couldn't stop reading I can't wait till the next one in the series

awesome

great book can't wait for the next one.
I liked a lot the different approach of character and the story
it wont disappoint

The speaker

Kyle McCarley makes every character sound sassy and especially when he says "_____ Said." Its kinda funny at times but it tends to pull you out of the emersion sometimes.

Interesting take on this genre

I find that I quite enjoy the gamer genre. And I have read other Russian translations (Rus) in this line. I liked the unique take on the story. It was a little hard fetched for my side of the world but I still could dispel my unbelief enough to enjoy it. I have to say though that the “my girls” thing was a bit over the top. But I suspect that is a translation thing. I found the same kind of forced comments in the other translated series I read. It had a bit of an abrupt ending for sure. I’ll keep an eye out for the next book. Not one I’m jumping to buy but wouldn’t mind reading the rest for the right price.

Hate to say it, bad writing

I’ve listened to a lot of LITRPG books. This one nestled into “decent” until a group of character were introduced into the story. I heard the phrase “x said” or “x says” about 15 times in 5 minutes. Couldn’t continue

Forgettable

Maybe it's because I was spoiled by Ready Player One and Awaken Online, but this was very forgettable. The story progressed too slowly for my liking and offered up far too few interesting moments.

diamond in the rough

surprisingly this is a diamond in a rough. the story is amazing on all accounts the narration is beautiful and now it's on to book two I'm hooked

Good but slow

Interesting world (some holes but easy to look over) and fun to follow.

I had two issues. First, at times it was so slow they almost lost me. Second, the MC made some weird decisions and acted in confusing ways.

Oh well it was still fun.

Amazing

I’m already on book four of the series I definitely recommend them all. The all amazing and the story just keeps getting better.

Truly a Fun LitRPG story.

I'm in love with story's about people being made in to video game Heroes. The "play to live" series is very close to this book however they have very different plots. The narrator is a true gem. I picked this book with a hope that it has fully satisfied. I can't wait for more books! Please take my money!
