After being betrayed and cursed by an extremely rare spell, Oren, a once powerful and influential player, found himself as a 1st level Goblin!
Without even a fraction of his previous power, he vows to somehow pull through and seek revenge on those who betrayed him.
His greatest advantage are years of personal gaming experience and thorough knowledge of the game's world.

Its still early days, but this is a very promising story that I will be following with great interest. I love this kind of story, monster/ player dictomy, system glitches, and solid characters. The premise is good, as a player that was betrayed and then did something very stupid, pretty much to see what would happen. We've all done that and in a virtual world I cant see any reason why he wouldn't.

Releases are slow, about once a week, which given the quality is understandable even if its frustrating as there arent many chapters.

Im hooked and can't wait for more

A fantastic spin on LitRPG and great complex world building

Reviewed at: Book #2: 1 - New Dawn

I whole heartedly suggest that folks give this a try. Shemer creates a deep involved world from a fun perspective. The characters are intriguing and develop well over time. The world mechanics are consistient and not over powered. The MC faces logical, realistic challenges and manages to come up with clever ways to advance his goals. 

The MC is surprisingly round as well. There are periods of time during the book series where I did not agree with Oren's decisions or how he was developing. However, I appreciated the fact that the writing rejected some of the more traditional tropes. Shemer did not just write the MC out of every problem that they encountered and they often made mistakes based on expected behavior. 

I have suggested this series to several friends and would be happy to do so again.

 If this story could just pretend that the intro didn't happen, and never followed up on it, and we just moved on, it could be a passable wish-fulfillment monster-experiment. 

But, instead, he's got an egotistical Yui god-fairy that deus-ex-machinas his problems, with a main character whose reason for the entire plot is so contrived, it make me want to puke blood.

Apparently, in this fictional universe, there is a scroll that effectively allows you to cause physical harm to other players and essentially deletes their character. "But it's rare". -IT SHOULDN'T EXIST!- And the fictitious company that made it somehow decided instead of removing said awful scroll that probably cause a major legal meltdown of their game, kept it in and tried to buy the scrolls back from players. Instead of like, removing it from their inventories???

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The entire premise is so bad! If we just pretended that didn't happen, it would be fine. But instead we're constantly beat over the head with this awful premise like we're going to forget how illogical it is. It's already gone like, really far with unneccessary filler exposition dumping explaining basic concepts of a video game...

When you add up all this failure, it just sucks. If it didn't explain itself, it would actually be infinitely better. I mean with a proper explanation the suspension of disbelief wouldn't be shot like a wide-eyed puppy on YouTube.

We could have just have a mediocre litrpg power adventure, but instead we have a low potential novel turning into the opposite of entertainment, but a form of torture to the readers.

Great monster perspective on base building and survival.

Very enjoyable monster perspective in a world full of players.

Other than the Lawyer chapter being an unrealistic way to allow the MC to live in the other world, everything else has been close to perfect.

Looks Promising - 12/1/2016

Story looks like a great new take on the nonhuman/LITRPG genre.

Starting with a new type of betrayal which leads to a very interesting MC with formidible world knowledge. Looking forward to how the story progresses!

The plot itself is interesting, though there are a few plot holes. When I began reading it, I believed this would be an epic story that could use a few grammatical corrections. However, as time went on, it begins to lose its essence.

I don't know if you had any personal problem, or maybe you concentrated so much on promoting the book that you lost your passion.

Great Litrpg story!  Still pretty early, but shaping up to be pretty good!

Fascinating LitRPG-townbuilding

really well done story so far.  engaging character with good problem solving.  Not an OP character and I really am enjoying the logistics and allocation of resource challenge.  I am very interested to see where this story goes.
