SURVIVAL QUEST - VASILY MAHANENKO

The Way of the Shaman: Book #1 - LitRPG series

Barliona. A virtual world jam-packed with monsters, battles - and predictably, players. Millions of them come to Barliona, looking forward to the things they can't get in real life: elves and magic, dragons and princesses, and unforgettable combat. The game has become so popular that players now choose to spend months online without returning home.

Daniel Mahan is the hero of this story - trying to win a bet with a woman he had a crush on, he broke city's sewer system by accident. And I do not mean broke into it, I mean literally breaking it. And his punishment was 8 years of imprisonment in Barilona.

This novel deserves all 5 stars just based on its story and it's ability to keep you hooked from start to finish. I am a big-time MMORPG player so I enjoyed all the leveling up, discovering new skills etc…. If you're never played an MMO you might not understand what's going on but if you have, then this is potentially a really exciting genre for you.

I really enjoyed the witty narrator and the overall lightness of this book. Definitely nothing that will leave you feel depressed :D
