Enjoyed this first book in the series, it makes logical sense why the main character Max wants to discard his body and become a digital being. The game world seems real and the other characters are getting developed as the novel progressed. I like this as much as the first book in the Way of the Shaman series, my current favorite litrpg series.

In the game.

A different take on LitRPG stories I have been reading. Being stuck permanently in the game. Being digital with out a body to go back to. Being a RPG player, I enjoyed the book and will be getting the 2nd book to continue the story.
