About this book

An entertaining science fiction power up LITRPG that focuses on a grand galaxy-spanning video game where the in-game stakes have real world consequences to earth.The fate of the universe literally rests on the outcome of the game. It's an interesting premise where Earth contacts other alien races and is part of a galaxy-wide conflict where the conflicts & resources are determined via virtual reality game that connects the entire galaxy.If I could describe this one, it's a whole lot of Ender's Game, a big dollop of Ready Player One, a pinch of Dragon Ball Z, and a huge dose of Anarchy Online.If you watch Anime, then the book is reminiscent of the GunGame Arc of the Sword Art Online anime, but where conquered territory in the game affects the land holding rights in the real world. It's basically a made scramble between different alien races to control the galaxy, with Earth the newest addition (or you might say target) added to the list of competing civilizations.The character is a Gary Stu and pretty much a clueless idiot, but there's something entertaining when you read the book -- it kind of like watching Dragonball Z episodes. One of the better LITRPG's I find with perhaps one of the more interesting settings/worldbuilding.
