Synopsis

Enter the world of Metamorphosis Online, a fully immersive video game where players compete for spots in the Global Top 10ranks that actually pay you to play the game. Gracie doesn't play the game to make money...at first. Broke, single, and working a crappy job as a blackjack dealer, Gracie's just blowing off steam and having fun. Can playing a new type of immersive game help her overcome real-life issues, or will it cause more problems? Before she knows it, Gracie has intervened in a generations-long war between the kobolds and the fae and started a ragtag guild, and her weird math abilities make themselves known in a way that most could not have imagined. Can she deal with being pitted against the game developers? For the first time Gracie can remember, she has something worth fighting for.

About Natalie Grey

Natalie Grey grew up in rural New England, surrounded by a lot of vegetables and relatively little excitement. Therefore, she was obliged to make up excitement by pretending to be a knight, mage, jet-setting international assassin, jedi, or (occasionally) a shape-shifting dragon. She read everything she could get her hands on, from Lord of the Rings to Modesty Blaise, and eventually started writing her own stories full of what-ifs and snarky put-downs. Now she lives with her two German Shepherd mixes in the frozen wilds of Minnesota, and does a lot of inventive swearing while she shovels.

Not crunchy, but oh so good. This book confuses me. I love litrpg, and gamelit. This book has those elements, but falls more in line with a Ready Player One type of system. We don’t have a ton of stats or levels, or depth to the mechanics, or even a lot of world lore , but what we do have however are......more

Goodreads review by Vroom on July 11, 2019

Pretend the second book (and potentially later) don't exist and read this as a fun standalone. Vegas card dealer (also smart college graduate with lots of potential and no direction) finds fun and friends by playing a not-very-immersive VRMMO. There's really no more to it than that but it's a fun ri......more

4 Oh, God! He’s So Serious. And So Tiny! Stars You Need A Bigger Sword is the first book in the GameLit Fantasy RPG series, Metamorphosis Online, co-authored by Michael Anderle and Natalie Grey. So rarely have I read books, related to LitRPG or GameLit where the focus is so heavily primed on the creat......more
