Imprisoned Online: Gaming the System by P. A. Wikoff is an adventure story. Wikoff is an online game designer and gamer and this is a story to join the two worlds. For me the online world is a safe haven and I encourage if you have never played an online game to play one. The MMORPG world has interesting rules and can be a safe place to meet someone. In the story, if you commit a crime you go into cyberjail. This cyberjail is the MMORPG world. Seph is sentence to an interest gaming sentence. This is going to be tough seeing that Seph is not a gamer and has no idea what is going on.Will Seph have enough to be able to navigate his new world?

This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite yet. One thing I enjoy about this author’s books is how they read like a video game. This book starts out a little slow but once it picked up, it was hard to put down. You feel as if you are part of the game with the other characters. This book is about Seph. He doesn’t spend alot of time playing video games but what will happen when he ends up in online video jail? I highly recommend this book.

Imprisoned Online is the first book in the Gaming the System series by P.A. Wikoff. It is a sci-fi, futuristic fantasy story- with adventure, video gaming, role-playing, action, drama, virtual reality, twists, group play- that also has a bit of a dystopian feel to it too. I have read and enjoyed some of Mr. Wikoff’s other books and enjoyed them- and this one seemed quite intriguing-with the whole online gaming and prison synopsis, so I really wanted to find out where the story would lead. It has a bit of a TRON vibe to it, but is definitely an original story with it’s own identity and unique flare.
There is plenty of action, danger, and drama as the story unfolds. Seph’s world is interesting and certainly felt very ‘real’. He isn’t like other members of his society; he hasn’t lost himself in the gaming world- but then finds himself in an online jail- where he will need to learn and adapt very quickly- if he is to have any chance to survive. Player vs player to earn the experience points to ‘progress through the game’. So, will this non-gamer learn the ropes quickly enough? Does he have any chance of progressing through, and surviving this cyber experience? This intriguing story is well worth the read to find out.
The story is wonderfully detailed and descriptive- bringing the story and characters to ‘life’. The characters were well developed, interesting, and somewhat quirky. Making this a really fun and engaging read.
Thank you, Mr. Wikoff!

Imprisoned Online_ Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) by P.A. Wikoff is an original sci-fi fantasy story that is set in the future. The story is set in a world where virtual reality and video games are the norm for all and a way of life and not many venture outside. The story is intriguing and unique and is very vivid in descriptions of the writer which helps you better understand the world and the characters.
Seph seems to be the odd one out in that he plays games but they are not the be all end all that it is for the rest of the world. When he suddenly finds himself in cyber jail he has to pretty quickly learn how to play or his life could become forfeit. Navigating this new world is an adventure fraught with lots of drama and action, twists and danger.
If you like online gaming and even if you don’t you will love this book.

Wikoff certainly does transport the reader into a very interesting tale, as usual. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found the premise to be fascinating. I knew from reading this author previously that there would be a great story and great detail provided. Thankfully I was not disappointed. Definitely recommended.
