Synopsis

Teenage Breq escapes the grim streets of a resource low, near-future world to take a job as a "corpse diver" in a massive online SciFi game, Bane. Breq finds himself in a dangerous, life-threatening adventure within the game as he searches for the reason for the death of his best friend.

With landscapes and settings that evoke the SciFi classics, our hero must level up his character as fast as he can, so as to be able to take on and defeat a sinister, masked figure. Especially as the threat posed by the unknown character is not limited to events within the game.

Star Divers.... was interesting? Ya, let's go with interesting. It is my first foray into the science fiction side of LitRPG and GameLit. The story is about a specific player within the game named Breq who is an orphaned teenager in the real-world and survives by working as a corpse diver in the mas......more
