Publisher's Summary

"There's only one rule … don't get hit."

Ryan's life sucks.

His brother is a jerk, his mom is sick, and his legs are next to useless thanks to a neurological disorder. Plus the world ended two centuries ago from nuclear war. Now, what's left of humanity live below ground, with the only escape from reality being the massive VR world of Crystal Shards Online.

But even in the game, Ryan's life sucks. Unable to play a combat class due to his condition, he works as a miner, earning barely enough to get by and not nearly enough to afford the operation that will save his mom's life.

When Ryan discovers an item that grants the ability to dodge any attack, however, he has the chance to become one of the game world's most elite and sought after players: a Dodge Tank.

But for someone who's never played a combat class, success isn't so easily had.

To save his mom, Ryan will have to overcome his disability and level his way to the top. But the real-world consequences are more far reaching than he ever could have imagined and the fate of not just his mother, but humanity itself, may be resting in his hands.

Decent

First person POV where the biggest issue is needing to suspend disbelief. If you can get past the huge sums of money that land in the character's lap and the 'I need you to do this but I can't tell you why' storyline, it's not bad.

The world building isn't very believable.

The story is unbelievable , corny and predictable. There is lots of drama, forced conflicts and author intervention. The gaming system seems exploitable with stats carrying over from other characters and the economy seems beyond broken with how easy it seems to earn money as a high level gamer. The last hour saved the novel for me.

Guren Lagann does the premise better on all levels and The legendary moonlight sculptor has a better underdog arc imo.

Awesome

This is the first LitRPG I didn't turn down after listening to the preview. it really sold me on the genre. Most 10-15hr novels I listen to don't tie up so many loose ends like this one does, and the narration was great. I loved every minute of it.
