A Wild Fey Has Appeared!: A Slice-of-Life LitRPG

Fantasia, Book 1

By: unice5656

Narrated by: Diana Richardson

In the first book of this imaginative LitRPG series, a quirky young woman embarks on the adventure of a lifetime in a virtual-reality fantasy game.

Arwyn has just purchased Fantasia: Fantasy Life, an immersive virtual-reality game that allows sleeping players to dive into a world of sword and sorcery with 99% realism. In Fantasia, Arwyn is Fey E’lan, a moon elf of the magical Elvenwood, whose unorthodox approach to gameplay—from befriending local monsters to putting a bag of holding inside a bag of holding—leads to a variety of unusual adventures and hilarious mishaps.

Soon Fey is a Guardian of the Forest, with a small army of loyal pets by her side. And as her reputation grows, so do her accidental friendships with other players curious about the free-spirited gamer. Then an NPC, the celestial warrior-angel Leandriel, comes crashing (literally) into her life and Fey’s carefree attitude is severely shaken. Leandriel seems almost … human. Compared to the robotic AI populating most other VR games, that is.

But in a land where both fantasy conventions and physics are honored and upended in equal measure, and the definition of “realism” is pushed to the limits, Fey will discover it’s much more fun to play the game when you play by your own rules.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than three million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Good story but

Im not sure how the story made it through royal road with all the 4th wall breaking. It should have been edited away before publication. It really breaks immersion ruin the book because the rest of the story is great.

Laughed Out Loud at the Deadly Cuteness

I really enjoyed the cracks at the author and the characters thus far. Definitely following the author to make sure I know when they get the next book out.

Good, but with some downsides.

I enjoyed the characters greatly, the snarky, asocial type being a favorite archetype of mine. Arwyn/Fey is a decent lead, and a good female lead within the genre. The one thing that makes me hesitant to continue is the odd interjections that occur all throughout the book. The overuse of fourth-wall breaks and "funny" comments detracts from the story in parts imo. Also, every time she says "#(insert word here)" makes me want to rip my hair out.
Overall, good story and good characters, but could really tone down the shattering of the fourth-wall.

Enjoyed the experience

I’m not good leaving reviews, if you want a light-hearted and funny audiobook this is it.

A very decent first installation

I quite liked this book with all its quirks, not to mention a extreme introvert MC who’s probably autistic. The “author” injects commentaries throughout the story and at first I found it odd and a bit jarring but after a while it became part of the experience.
Narration was also quite good and overall I’d give this book w/ plot and narration a solid4,5 stars but not quite 5.

First thing I did was to check for book no 2 in the series right after this one finished. Would absolutely recommend.
