Uniworld Online #1 - 3
Uniworld Online Trilogy Omnibus
Cadence was born with a previously unknown disability that prevented her from being able to communicate verbally or through the use of sign-language, though it didn’t prevent her from using the written word. Regardless of the challenges she faced through her short life, she persevered and started her first year at college, rooming with her best friend Jill.
However, a brutal attack that left her near death caused her to be without a way to easily relay information about her attackers. With no other options available to communicate with others – and with boredom as a result of being confined to a hospital bed having a detrimental effect on her health – Jill came up with a way for her best friend to play a game.
Not just any game, though; Uniworld Online was the newest offering from Unitech, a company that designed a new method of fully immersing oneself into a game using a special technology called and NVERS. Set in a fantasy setting with opposing Light and Dark Factions, the immersive virtual reality game is unlike anything the world had ever seen.
Having never played a video game before, though, Cadence is subjected to completely unfamiliar territory. Unlike every other player inside Uniworld, she isn’t playing the game to kill monsters and get stronger; instead, she wants to help the citizens of the world (which the other players call NPCs), which gives her a sense of purpose while her body heals back in the real world.
The best thing about Uniworld, however, is that it provides her with something she has never had before: a voice. And with that voice, she has an opportunity to bring justice to her attackers – and maybe even change the landscape of Uniworld in the process.

A Young Woman's Journey To Discover Her Power In Two Worlds.
This novel is a coming of age story, Cadence's personal hero's journey, and a tale at justice and vengeance rolled into on multilayered epic trilogy.
This LitRPG novel may be of interest to fans of the wider Fantasy genre, those who like female protagonists, and those who enjoy playing RPGs.

I will find you
Excellent. Girl gets her revenge on the people who hurt her and kidnapped her bestie. Wish she would have kept 1/2 of experience from class changes. Wouldn't have to grind as hard to recover abilities. Guy was a real #&@$#. And really thought he was going to get away with it. Fooled him. Wish more would be coming from this series.

Not a good story, and not a good litrpg.
First things first. I'm not even sure this qualifies as litrpg. If anything, its satire, mocking litrpg. The status sheets are meaningless, the MC just throws all their points into charisma because she's a bard. The author spends a large amount of time railing against gamers in general. The MCs levels bounce up and down regularly and randomly. Finally, the bardic MC, I guess, has unlimited mana, since she routinely maintains her spells for hours at a time, to the point where she actively complains that her hands are getting tired.
As for the story, there is none. Overpowered MC does what she wants, and is still victimized over and over because the world sucks and people suck, but she's an amazing unique and special snowflake. The world is against her, the game devs are against her, the legal system is against her, but the game is on her side. Otherwise? Nothing... And don't get me wrong, I like overpowered MC/wish fulfillment/chosen one litrpg. I like goody goody MCs and slice of life. This isn't that.

I found Uniworld Online Trilogy for free never thinking it would be a story that would grab me. Jonathan Brooks did a great job of world-building both online and in RL. Real-life character circumstances helped make this story what it is. I expect you will become enamored with this bard as I did during this truly heartwarming story. A very different storyline from your normal LitRPG Uniworld asks the question: Are NPC's really just computer code? How nice it would be to play this online game...if only.

Really enjoyable, despite some issues
I enjoyed this series. I liked the characters, who were very well-realized. There were a few issues, though. The writing in the first book is pretty clunky, and there are some inconsistencies in the second and third books. There are also a lot of words left out, typos, and other things in the books. For a second edition, this wasn't well edited.

Whirlwind adventure
The book had far more depth than I expected from a LitRPG adventure. The character growth and world building, though great, were overshadowed by the exploration of trauma and the philosophical quandary of AI life. The author went so far beyond what was required for a simple enjoyable story that I truly felt immersed. My only regret was finishing the story and having to return to reality.

Fun
It was a well written and pleasant read, fast paced, clear goals and plot, character growth, and generally great editing. The MC is overpowered, but that proves to be a necessary evil. Enjoy.

Not Mr. Brooks best, but worth the time and money.
Either this was one of Mr. Brooks early efforts, or he was aiming for a younger audience. Still be is one of my favorite authors in this genre, and it is worth buying and reading. (Although his other works are even better.)

I don't leave many reviews but I really loved this series...
This was while reading a bit horrifying in the RL parts, wonderful, exciting and just plain crazy in the VR parts. Lots of great characters and fun game play. Finally a great premise for a OP character!

Conflicted
I would have given 4 stars, but I’m not into the main character being in a lesbian relationship. My personal reading preference. Would have liked to have known beforehand. I didn’t read beyond book 1.

Great book and I love the girl power and the growth. I also like how the writer thought about how to stop characters from being over powered. Can drag a bit at times but a wonderful series that keeps you wanting to turn the page.

A good light romp
Spread over 3 books, this is a fairly light read, entertaining with some good dialogue and gripping action. Perfect for a read on the train during your commute.

Great!
A great series that was refreshing in having a female protagonist, lgbtq+ characters, and a preference for a non-violent solution.
