jwillis81's review against another edition
3.0
The LitRPG genre has been pretty hit or miss for me, with some titles being truly excellent and others being little more than a cheap rip-off of READY PLAYER ONE. This book was somewhere in the middle. The game world was interesting and well-developed, but I found myself frequently bored by the chapters dealing with the protagonist and the real world. The book was technically well-written and definitely one of the better examples of LitRPG I've read recently, but overall the story and the characters were just okay.

This book deserves more reviews.
The future. Nearly everything is owned by Amazon, Disney and Walmart. The female MC is a barista in a Amazon Coffee shop. She probably could find a better job but she uses all her spare time to play Axillon99 a VRMMOPRG.
Then the Game Company announces a 10 million dollar price for solving a quest in the game.
Axillion99 is a treasure hunt with puzzle solving and a team of a few characters play together. Of course there is some evil company lurking in the background.
Character interaction is fun, the reality part was as good as the game part. Not all actions are successful on the first try. Good book!
Only reduced one star as I found the end a bit too unrealistic.
