Synopsis

Everything has a price. Pangea Online is no different.

Since leaving the orphanage, Esil has spent the past year toiling in the data mines of Pangea while watching the wealthy elite traverse its myriad of game worlds. His luck changes forever when he discovers a legendary Developer's Chest. The Premium Worldpass inside grants him unlimited access to all of Pangea.

Now, Esil isn't just stuck watching as others explore Pangea. He can finally level up. With his newfound fortune, he enters a tournament to compete against some of the most skilled adventurers Pangea has to offer. He’s a long shot to win but for the first time in his life, being a kid from the slums has its advantages when he discovers a bug in the obscure data-mining class.

With an even playing field, he might just have a shot. But, his in-game actions have real-world consequences and failure online threatens everything he holds dear.

Low stakes fun

It's a fun book with no real trials or tribulations for the main character. No strong messages or opinions besides be "friendship is important", but the characters are likeable enough to keep me interested.

I got this book for free so i cant be entirely disappointed. The production quality is great and the main narrator does a good job. Second voice unfortunately is the same regardless of who the character they are voicing is, which feels really weird. The plot is so basic and trope filled i cant even.

Good, but with one issue

As others have pointed out, it’s a knock-off Ready Player One, but I knew that going in, and it’s a serviceable knock-off. Rowland focuses more on the gameplay aspects, which is fun. The combat scenes are short and sweet, and the plot is very quick. It was extremely fun and I tore through this in three days. There is, however, a significant flaw. This book makes quite a few apologies and allowances for rich people and the developers of the game, who care so little about the poor masses of this world that they keep them underpaid and overworked just to keep them busy. And the work they do isn’t even important, or at least is implied not to be. I’m interested to see where this goes. The series is definitely not beyond saving, but it needs some work for sure.
