Kevin was a young man enjoying his college life when a car jumped the curb and crippled his body. Unable to support himself and dependent on others to meet his needs, Kevin was slipping into depression when his best friend convinced him to play a new game called Genesis Online. The concept was simple: a revolutionary artificial intelligence controlled the game world and adapted it to the actions of the players. Even the developers didn't know what course the game could take as it evolved.

Lured into the game by the prospect of earning real money, Kevin soon runs afoul of a man determined to control as much of Genesis as possible. He recruits other disenfranchised players to his side in his quest to find a way to prosper in the game. Can they stop the man who calls himself the king of Genesis from taking over everything?

Good premise little limited in terms of world growth. Lot of potential.

However their are some big plot holes like money. In game things are actually pretty cheap. I’ve seen people put 50$ easy in to free games and in this world that would take them really far. It just seems like oh most people don’t realize hey 5$ is enough to get my character taught all the skills in my class.

Good idea just some plot holes

this is an amazing borderline RPG

So glad the author fixed the ending. Originally he tossed off the idea of building a town when we all know that it was going to happen because that is where the money is at.

Fixed the ending

This book is really meant for adolescents or younger kids. The performance is good just not very mature

For younger audiences

The m.c. here is pretty naive, and has a weird hatred of charity for a guy who literally can't do much of anything.

He also gets surprised every time he gets attacked by the same guild, and is shocked that people on the internet are rude. I think this kind of naive character is just a cheap way to show character development.

when someone's just unrealistically nice
