Publisher's summary

The ads enthused, "The virtual lands of Mirror World await you! Live out your most secret dreams in our world of Sword and Sorcery! Become a Great Wizard or a Famous Warrior! Build your own castle, tame a dragon, conquer a kingdom! All those desperate, lonely, and insecure - Mirror World offers you a chance!"

But Oleg isn't meant to become a great wizard or a famous warrior. He'll never have a castle of his own. Nor will he ever tame a dragon. And he's definitely not the type to conquer a kingdom, however virtual it may be.

Oleg is doomed to toil away in the recesses of Mirror World's mines. His goal is to raise enough money for a heart transplant for his dying six-year-old daughter. The clock is ticking. Will he make it?

The speaker

Kyle McCarley makes every character sound sassy and especially when he says "_____ Said." Its kinda funny at times but it tends to pull you out of the emersion sometimes.

Interesting take on this genre

I find that I quite enjoy the gamer genre. And I have read other Russian translations (Rus) in this line. I liked the unique take on the story. It was a little hard fetched for my side of the world but I still could dispel my unbelief enough to enjoy it. I have to say though that the “my girls” thing was a bit over the top. But I suspect that is a translation thing. I found the same kind of forced comments in the other translated series I read. It had a bit of an abrupt ending for sure. I’ll keep an eye out for the next book. Not one I’m jumping to buy but wouldn’t mind reading the rest for the right price.

Hate to say it, bad writing

I’ve listened to a lot of LITRPG books. This one nestled into “decent” until a group of character were introduced into the story. I heard the phrase “x said” or “x says” about 15 times in 5 minutes. Couldn’t continue

Truly a Fun LitRPG story.

I'm in love with story's about people being made in to video game Heroes. The "play to live" series is very close to this book however they have very different plots. The narrator is a true gem. I picked this book with a hope that it has fully satisfied. I can't wait for more books! Please take my money!

Sword Art with More Economy

love the focus on the more mundane and sometimes boring aspects of video games. giving these quests consequences and fitting explanations is one of my favorite parts of the book.

good MC but kind of repetitive

the fact that the MC isn't a gamer is refreshing and real life stakes are a nice draw but honestly if it didn't keep repeating itself the story would flow better

Forgettable

Maybe it's because I was spoiled by Ready Player One and Awaken Online, but this was very forgettable. The story progressed too slowly for my liking and offered up far too few interesting moments.
