About this listen

The year is 2375, and the world has been drained of most of its natural resources. In order to preserve their dying planet, the government puts The Digital Life Initiative into action.

Those deemed of low economic value are placed into a state of cryogenic sleep, their minds connected to a myriad of virtual worlds. They become digital citizens, living out their lives in virtual cities.

Kadia Greene wasn’t someone who had any interest in the virtual worlds, unlike her brother who spent his days wasting away in a VR capsule. Top of her class, and on the fast track to university, Kadia is horrified to find herself issued with a notice of digitalization. In an instant, her life begins to fall apart around her, but as she enters Kaledon, the newest and most realistic fantasy world on the market, Kadia finds her dreams and passion rekindled.

The First Tail is book one in the Nine Tails of Alchemy, a slice-of-life series set in a virtual world that follows the struggles and successes of a Kitsune protagonist.

A very good book start

A storyline and plot delivered in an excellent way. Hope to see the next book and continue the story. Read quite a-few similar style books but this book surpasses them an keeps the mind engaged more. A joy to have come across such gem.

One of the best LitRPGs I've read!

Good story. I loved the immersion into the world. Main character development as she got more involved with the guild was great, while she remained mischievous girl.
Only two things bother me though. First she immersed and accepted her digital life way too fast even before she was given the full scope of her situation. Second, in the second half of the book the entire IRL issue got completely forgotten by everyone.

Enjoyable

First thing I want to get out of the way due to confusion the cover caused in my reading group once selected: This is not a romance story or smutty in any way.

That done, this story was a fun, slice of life, fantasy read/listen. It’s got a wild start and a few wtf moments but is fun. Enjoyed the narrator as well, she lent the perfect voice to our female MC Kadia.
