Dark Omega: Emergence

A LitRPG fantasy adventure

By: Eric Vanderburg

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The prescription for unemployed Wayne McHenry wouldn’t usually be to play more video games. However, something is different about Dark Omega, a VRMMO game so immersive that it’s indistinguishable from real life. This just might be what Wayne needs. Unfortunately, his plans to make a name for himself are derailed when he’s dropped continents away from his friends in the midst of a genocidal war. Even worse, he must play as a fairy. The stakes just got higher. Still want to play?
Enjoy the exciting first novel in this six-part Dark Omega LitRPG series, the Gravimancer Chronicles.

Unfinished

Around chapter 19/20 (Escape), it sounds like portions of the story were removed, written then rewritten, or are missing altogether. Suddenly characters have items that are unexplained. Side characters die, then minutes later die again. A monster is described as about to attack, then completely different monsters attack. It is very confusing.
Up until that point, I really enjoyed it. There were small inconsistencies prior to that, but minor, and could be simple oversights, or misunderstandings on MY part as the reader. I like the concept enough to rate this 4 stars overall.
As always, the AI reader is... an AI reader. Mispronounced character names, common words with multiple pronunciations, etc.
