From Book 1…
#1 best seller in YA Fantasy and Adventure Sci-Fi. Over 1800 positive review on goodreads with over 21 million page reads in KU.
Ryan's life sucks.
His brother is a jerk, his mom is sick, and his legs are next to useless thanks to a neurological disorder. Plus the world ended two centuries ago from nuclear war. Now, what's left of humanity live below ground, with the only escape from reality being the massive VR world of Crystal Shards Online.
But even ingame, Ryan's life sucks. Unable to play a combat class due to his condition, he works as a miner, earning barely enough to get by and not nearly enough to afford the operation that will save his mom's life.
When Ryan discovers an item that grants the ability to dodge any attack, however, he has the chance to become one of the game world's most elite and sought after a Dodge Tank.
But for someone who's never played a combat class, success isn't so easily had.
Now, to save his mom, Ryan will have to overcome his disability and level his way to the top, but the real-world consequences are more far reaching than he ever could have imagined, and the fate of not just his mother, but humanity itself, may be resting in his hands...
Contains RPG mechanics, detailed party combat and giant boss fights. If these things do not interest you, then this is not the book for you!
From Book 2…
The World Boss is defeated, but Ryan’s troubles are far from over.
Transported to a new world, Ryan and his friends must figure out how to save their home city of Citadel, while learning to survive in a game world where death is now all too real.
But first, Ryan must keep his promise to Val Helena, and sets out on a dangerous quest to the Vale of Sorrows to defeat the Shadow King. With an enemy ten times stronger than a world boss, Ryan will have to do some serious leveling up as a Dodge Tank to be fit for task.
But when he encounters a fellow gamer with an agenda of his own, Ryan finds his plans not only derailed but his very life threatened by an enemy of his own making!
Ryan will have to grow in both level and maturity to face the difficult struggles ahead. But the game has more secrets to reveal, and the enemy lying just below the surface, may be more terrifying than anything he could have imagined.
From Book 3…
After defeating the Shadow King and opening the gateway to the mysterious Labyrinth of Onizoso, Reece’s hopes are dashed when a surprise attack leaves his girlfriend’s life hanging in the balance.
With only minutes to save her, Reece and his friends must enter the labyrinth in hopes of finding the one person who may be able to bring her back to life…but in a place where players turn into Shard Wraiths, their hopes may already be lost.
Now Reece will have to navigate a strange new world fraught with dangers, while fending off a pursuing army and racing against the clock. And with the threat lurking just outside, the labyrinth might be only the start of his troubles.
To protect the ones he loves, Reece will have to challenge his fears and principles, or risk losing everything and becoming a Shard Wraith himself.
But the Labyrinth holds many dark secrets and what he discovers within, may not only change the outcome of their mission, but redefine the very nature of the game world itself…

Slow start to a great series
Don't get put off by the first book. It is a quick read, with less depth to characters, worlds and story than what follows. The series as a whole is among the best I have read in this genre.

This is the first three books
I like the writers style and the world though huge and complex, is pretty easy to follow. The fights on a whole are written well with a few exceptions. Such as the star fall fight. It felt like it was written then the whole story was written into the story but it doesn't quite fit. It's a storyline that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. A lot of these stories for some reason have characters that are not likeable, however this story does not suffer from that. I like the main characters and the villians are well written. There are a few spelling mistakes but overall a nice flowing read that keeps you interested in the story. I will continue to read this series as I genuinely want to know what happens.

Quite an enjoyable adventure. People are not perfect and we can see how this sometimes causes rifts and issues. The action scenes had me on the edge of the seat and I was unable to put the book down during these moments.
