Rosgard has become the owner of a unique spell that can blaze a trail to the lost continent, thus leaving himself with no choice in the matter. His character will have to become a great deal stronger before the Great Expedition begins, or he’ll have to forfeit the spell and pass it on to somebody else. And it would be unthinkable to lose the chance of becoming a legend in the game. However, the game’s presented Rosgard and his team with a new challenge—now they have to accept the ultimatum of an aggressive underwater race known as the crabbers and set off on a difficult and dangerous quest which they dare not fail for fear of horrible repercussions.
At the same time, the identity of the Great Navigator is becoming less of a secret as more people learn that the player in question is really Rosgard. Things get dangerous, and our hero has to lay low in the real world as well as the game—there are millions of dollars involved, after all. Could this be the time for Rosgard to reconnect with his father to ask him for help and to rekindle their relationship after a complete loss of connection and understanding between the two of them? Ros could really do with his father’s help right now.
The Sleepless Ones is another factor that needs to be accounted for, since they want Rosgard to stand beneath their banners. Yet the Navigator wishes no conflict with the game’s top clan, even though he values his own freedom above everything. Should he keep on playing his own game—or join the strongest clan? It’s a tough choice, and the time before the Great Expedition keeps on ticking away.
Finally, MC is making moves and taking responsibility IRL. I can't stand the love interest but they seem to make things work. I love it when MC explodes to his father 😈
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.
Book 5 in this LitRPG fantasy series about an online virtual reality game. I'm still noticing translation errors or typos here and there but not enough to be overly distracting. I made the mistake of moving on to book 6 and finishing that before I wrote this review and now I don't remember this particular book super well. I remember it ending in a cliffhanger.
Another fantastic entry with a dash of middle entry syndrome. Ended somewhat abruptly for my taste but I loved seeing some plot bits get resolved and finally learning more about Roz's family and such.
I'm just sad that this is the last one available from my library:(
