Synopsis

No matter how many times you die, it still sucks.

For Hudson, the virtual world of PrimeVerse isn't all bad. It's beautiful; much nicer than overpopulated Earth. It almost feels like a vacation except for the volatile wildlife, lack of any amenities, and—oh yeah—the inability to log out.

Exploring the world, learning his class, and leveling skills is all fun and games until a powerful rogue player with a vendetta shows up to wipe out Hudson and his primitive tribe. Thrust into a conflict he didn't create, Hudson is forced into a cycle of respawning where he learns that even death can be used as a tool. So much for that vacation.

It's not like he signed up for this. Or even went willingly. but when life hands you lemons . . . use them to kill the dog-size spiders that are trying to eat your face.

I finished this book out of pure stubbornness, but honestly I had little fun. The MC was the recipient of such a never-ending stream of boons that it got ridiculous after a while. Additionally, I don't like it when the human psyche is ignored to the extent it was in the book (view spoiler)[Dying can NOT be this lack (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Logan on May 04, 2020

The MC seems to be a dimwit and vacillates between being a 'scavenger of the wastes', a normal kid and having knowledge the author would about pop culture. Reading about stupid people doing stupid things just wears me down. Gave up after 4 hours of listening.......more

Interesting setting Interesting setting and world building so far. The game elements are well done, balanced and interesting. Characters are developing well, I look forward to reading more!......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on June 17, 2020

I enjoyed this one. It had a very different, unique feel to a lot of the other LitRPG I've read. There are no flashy magic spells, no crazy fighting techniques, and the MC spends the majority of this book struggling against a really bad situation. I thought the use of death and respawning mechanics......more
