About this listen

If you had to choose between your life and your dreams, would you ever wake up?

Alan Campbell thought he'd gotten his dream job working on a revolutionary VRMMORPG with Osmark Technologies, until the project was canceled. He has one weekend to dive into an untested world full of intrigue, violence, and corruption to prove that Viridian Gate Online works, but the AIs running the game have their own plans for his soul.

Set a year before the events of Viridian Gate Online: Cataclysm, Viridian Gate Online: Nomad Soul takes you back to when VGO was just a game, or so it seemed.

this was a really strong start to a series -
love the multilayered plot, the characters are very engaging and the world building is excellent.
props to the narrator too - he really brings it all to life.


all in all I am eager to dive into the next book in the series

Best I've heard in a while

Brilliant descriptive text with a slow build from real life into the game. Fabulous interweaving with the game becoming more real than real. Takes LitRPG to another level.

Wow, just WOW

I have been trying a couple of new authors whilst waiting for the next books from my favourites. The books have been quite poor, this one is a big hit, inventive, fast moving and kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator is brilliant with a great range and smooth delivery. The story pace allowed a pick up of the virtual world then forged ahead. I have moved straight onto the next book, having to come back to do this review. Highly recommended.

Quite brilliant

Right so let's start by saying that there's nothing original here. Dude plays a futuristic Virtual Reality MMORPG and you can all guess what happens around the end of Book 1.

That said you don't need to do anything original to be a good book, and this is pretty damn solid. One thing the book has going for it is that Viridian Gate is the kind of MMO I'd absolutely love to play, but there's no way it would actually be popular because it doesn't seem to be just a themepark made for people who care about nothing other than instant gratification, and those people are the majority of modern MMORPG playerbase.

I don't really want to spoil anything more on that front because experiencing that is basically the best thing going on here. Characters are all pretty solid too but nothing to write home about.

This is like a perfect 3/5 book, even comes with a twist that kinda comes out of nowhere without any warning and just sort of happens, just like most 3/5 books.

It's in the plus catalogue and it's just 11 hours long, give it a listen if you're at all into the genre.

Quite refreshing but unoriginal take on the genre

Really enjoyed this book. The narrator was great, the story was interesting and the characters were engaging. Will definitely look out for a sequel. Thanks! :)

Very enjoyable book

Are you looking for battle, adventure, excitement, wild things, crunchy levels and numbers?! Well don't look here.

This book is written by that weird guy in HR who thinks he's smarter than everyone else and can't understand why he's not the CEO of the company.

He's written a book full of nothing. I'm several hours in and so far he's had a lot of diatribes about being the cool HR guy who doesn't have a specific role (and thus is mysterious) but just "talks" to people. Wow fun. In the game (when he finally pops in) he has so far hung out with a beggar and written a lot of exposition on the lamest, edgiest AI gods you can possibly imagine.

Oh and it's a massive big epic world, but everything revolves around like ten guys so it's chill.

The weird guy from HR writes a "LitRPG"

this was a very enjoyable book.Maybe not the most original but this is what we are expecting in this genre. I can easily recommend it and can't wait to start 2nd book

it was very good. Low reviews make no sense

Great little twists and turns and I really liked the historical setting that set it apart from the generic “high fantasy”. A really interesting listen. I’m on to the second part now.

Not your everyday LitRPG

Boring and long winded. Worst story I've ever listened too. it's a good thing it's free.
