Fayroll #10
The Right to Choose
Welcome back, fellow adventurer! Go ahead, sit closer to a fireplace and feel safe. This is going to be a long night, for I have an epic tale to tell you. Let me tell you the story about how I— Oh, I already told you about that? Well, fine. I guess I should continue from where we left off then. So, let me see. Where to even begin? Wars have broken the world of Fayroll. The Gelts fight for their new king. Dark creatures from our worst nightmares stick their teeth and claws into the flesh and bone of Light Orders. Guilds prepare armor and weapons for the great battle. All the while, one little clan is clamped between Scylla and Charybdis. It isn’t a large or strong clan, and, compared to all of the other local communities, it’s more like a small camp. Still, it’s my clan, and I don’t want anything to happen to it... "The Right to Choose" is the 10th installment in the epic LitRPG Fayroll series. The road has been tame so far in comparison to what lays ahead for Harriton and his in-game life as Hagen. There are still a mountain of quests to find and complete, battles to wage and win, and friends to invite. Be careful, fellow adventurer, Fayroll is more than a game, more than a LitRPG and really more than Gamelit! Open your eyes and don’t let yourself be fooled by the imaginary security of a real world with false leads and traitorous alliances. Hariton has to pay for the erroneous mistake he made. And yet, still… What we consider difficult times often opens what was hidden to us before. New enemies, evil motives, and mystery appear right between our character. He can fight back with his physical strength and mighty weapons in Fayroll, but while offline he has no sword in his hand or spells at his fingertips. The only thing he can count on? His instinct to survive, his intelligence, the few friends left and... Raidion? Or can he really trust someone whose secrets are guarded so much?

About the author
Andrey Vasilyev
64 books147 followersAt times, I feel I was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, I am a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.
I started writing in my late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after my first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, I had to give serious thought to changing my current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for my readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game (link) the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” I never looked back after that.
Over the next few years, I continued work on the now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. I am also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.

More and more intrigues
This series grabs your attention with the mechanics of the game that the MC, Kif, plays but as it goes on, you're captivated by the story behind the game that starts being revealed excruciatingly slowly. Enough is revealed that it makes you yearn for more, but so far every bit that is told begs more questions than it gives answers.
The events in the game end up changing Kif's life, though it's not yet obvious if it's for better or for worse, but what's safe to say is that his life is completely different. It becomes part of his job to play the game, in order to complete a particular series of quests that will change the game and everyone who plays it forever. But with step he completes, his real life changes, sometimes better, sometimes worse, but he starts to realize that by continuing to play, his next reward could be an early grave. Sadly though, he realizes too late, that the same could be true if he stops playing. So for now continues the game while trying to think of a way out for himself and his girlfriend.
He does meet several players in the game who are either aware of his quests or at the very least suspect what he is doing. Some want to stop him, some want to help, and some just finds him interesting enough to befriend him. It's not clear yet if any will actually be able to solve Kif's problems, but they as well as characters in the game that he has made friends, with being comfort to him and help him keep his head up when things seem at their worst.
The thing I wasn't expecting from this series was that at some point, the circumstances of Kif's real life become much more engaging than what's happening to him in game. There's a brief point in a previous book when Kif starts to think that his employers and their enemies are otherworldly. After a short talk with a couple higher ups, he dismisses the idea. But, in this book, things happen that just wouldn't add up in the normal world. They happen so sporadically and are subtle enough that Kif doesn't pay much mind, but because the idea was planted in the mind of the reader, you have to wonder if Kif was on the right track. I am thoroughly hooked on this series, but no longer just for the gaming elements of it, I now want to know what's really going on at Raidion.

Engaging series and story
The story switches from light fun, to fast-paced adventure, to scary real world situations (happily not too many of the latter) as the author smoothly interweaves the game world and ‘reality’.
Though, I have wondered for a while now what kind of impact being in a neural bath would have on a person. With a few things in prior books and now this one, I have to wonder if Kif is really in the real world when he gets out of the capsule each time or in a higher level ‘game’?
If Nikiforov is actually in reality, then he really needs to be on his toes!! If not, what kind of programming could be sent to a person’s brain when it is hooked up like that? A full immersion virtual reality would be cool, but not sure I’d want to give anyone that much access to my brain..
Though, it would be great if the company updated their capsules to send electric impulses through the players muscles so they won’t atrophy. Wouldn’t it be great if you could exercise while playing and have real world benefits?! Of course, there would need to be limiters and some assurance people wouldn’t have heart attacks, etc.
In any case, this world and Kif’s wild adventures have pulled me in and I’m ready for the next book now. He’s definitely not that altruistic and seems to have had some really bad interactions with women which have left him cynical, but he is still very likable, a mostly good guy, and does look out for the women in his life. I hope he makes it out alive and well!

Strašne zamotaný dej. Tu už pomaly aby človek zabudol, čo bol hlavný námet. Dej vnútri deja, misia vnútri misií. A to isté v realite sveta, intrigy v intrigách, miestami nelogickosť niektorých krátkych vsuviek. Množstvo postáv, kde drobná figúrka nahradí inú. Nádych tajomna, ktorý ale neláka, začína byť otravný.

AWESOME!!
As always, a masterpiece. The continuing saga of Fayroll is as engaging and entertaining as the first book. I cannot wait for the next installment. I AM ON THE EDGE IF MY SEAT!!
