Sergei, ein ganz gewöhnlicher russischer Mann, provoziert in seiner Nachbarschaft eine Schlägerei, als er einen kleinen Jungen verteidigt. Das Problem ist, dass der Typ, den er gerade besiegt hat, sich einfach in Luft auflöst. Sergei entdeckt, dass er plötzlich in der Lage ist, die Zeit zurückzudrehen.
Obendrein kann er nun auch zwischen den Welten reisen. Sergei erwirbt mysteriöse neue Fähigkeiten und entdeckt, dass es in unserer Welt viele andere gibt, die so sind wie er.
Sergei findet seinen Platz in der geheimen Gemeinschaft der Sucher, Wesen mit Superkräften. Er schließt sich sogar mit einigen seiner neuen Freunde zusammen, in der Hoffnung, in einer der Nachbarwelten auf eine Goldgrube zu stoßen.
Dabei hat Sergei keine Ahnung, dass jeder seiner Schritte beobachtet wird. Er wird vom dunkelsten aller Wesen beschattet — einem der ältesten Sucher überhaupt, der keinen Frieden finden wird, bis er einige von Sergeis einzigartigen Fähigkeiten in die Finger bekommt.
Dmitry Bilik was born in 1986 in a small Russian town. A passionate reader since childhood, he loved nothing better than to create worlds of his own. He devoured classical sci fi and fantasy - so no wonder that by his early teens, he’d begun writing his own stories.
His path to authorhood, however, proved windier than he’d imagined. Dmitry graduated from college and went on to study at university. Then he got married. All those years, he treated writing as a hobby - as his own way to escape reality. Only ten years after he’d first put pen to paper, Dmitry started publishing his writing on the Internet, experimenting with a number of genres.
Today, Interworld Network is Dmitry’s most popular series which has become a bestseller overnight, combining the best of LitRPG and urban fantasy.
This isn't bad, but it's not good either. There's little more than a premise... an ordinary young man stumbles into the discovery that his world is just a small part of a much larger simulation/game.
The book then focuses on his efforts to fit into this new reality. There is no greater goal. No impossible obstacle. It's all setting and no plot.
First, my review: “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”
Second, I am not a bot...at least I don’t think I am. Yes this is copy pasta (just learned that term, so fun!) simply because I feel like any book I read deserves acknowledgement but at the same time my feelings on reviews conflict with the normal review process.
I enjoyed this book, so my goal is to promote it and help the author. If you are a potential reader, just stop reading now and take the above as all you need to know. I am not going to share my reasoning, thoughts on the book, or any opinions that would influence your decision to read it. It is my opinion that Art needs to be experienced at an individual level. You are the only one that can determine what you like and don’t like. Don’t let others make that decision for you. You should definitely read the book and completely ignore all of the reviews. Or not if you don’t think this book is for you. That choice is all yours and the beauty of art appreciation. You are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.
If you are a member of the IAK Guild (thanks, Jason) or part of the review police, feel free to criticize me and challenge my philosophy on reviewing art. I think we all love a good debate. The forums are open and I welcome your comments. I was wrong in my previous request to get you to stop. Your blatant disregard for that request has led to some fun discussions. Growth is important for us all.
It seams that every Russian litrpg character quits smoking as soon as they can see their stats. This story of all the world has commoners and players was a interesting entertaining action packed read with a intriguing slice of life thrown in.
A russian suddenly discovers a game interface in his view. He learns that there are players from other worlds in his reality and that he can repeat short segments of time... I love the genre where in an urban environament the MC gets extra ordinary powers together with a HUD interface.
I really enjoyed the alternate world created by the author. Instead of a story about a virtual reality game, the real game is a reality that only the players see.
