Gestation LitRPG series A Dystopian LitRPG Adventure Project Chrysalis Book 1 eBook John Gold Jared Firth

This book started off spectacularly. The book's setting and the MC's beginning were fantastic. But this story is a struggle to finish. The mechanics start off interesting as well, and except for a few nitpicks it interests me.
Then something weird happens at around 35-40%.
I'm not talking about the plot twists. I'm talking about how everything is described. The fluctuating stats are just the beginning. Spoiler: the confusion really starts when a 12 year old boy figured out how to condition himself to survive hell, through gradually increasing his pain tolerance with lvl1 heal spells and punching lol 100+ monsters in the face. Now I have no problem with that happening, if the event is described in a manner that allows for the suspension of disbelief. This method didn't. The boy didn't even seem to try very hard. I just needed more detail and more rationality to get why he could succeed where everyone else stronger and smarter than him couldn't. Another note, that sound up being the mail in the coffin: the wrong words are used in descriptions. A broader is a general, not a dock worker. Sorcery is not herbalism. Those are merely the two example that broke the story for me. I have no idea what's going on here and I recommend that the story gets fine-tuned.

Gestation LitRPG series A Dystopian LitRPG Adventure Project Chrysalis Book 1 eBook John Gold Jared Firth Reviews

I don't know how I'm enjoying this series, but I am.

In game progression makes absolutely no sense, rationale for our main character being so OP is very thin. Out of game, everyone behaves irrationally; the psychologist actually threatens to remove medical care for our main character's only friend, in an attempt to get him to open up, then she acts surprised when it has the opposite effect, then she does absolutely nothing to counter the abuses she suspects of the orphanage manager.

This kind of rediculousness may or may not be accurate examples of crappy people, but the behaviour wouldn't be possible with the absurd amount of oversight and control we see from Luna.

As I said; despite the absurd progression, and irrational characters, I'm still somehow enjoying the story.
Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read and review his book!
I have never read a LitRPG book before this one and it was an interesting experience.

Here’s the synopsis of the book.
Synopsis (from )
[start]
To face Death itself, to hide from deadly guards, to conduct dark rituals and to use forbidden death magic? Being sent to Hell is definitely not what 12-year-old Anji would have ever expected from a government orphanage program.

Chrysalis — the project of the century. It is a hyper-realistic fantasy RPG game, set in the Middle Ages. Leveling up, distributing attribute points, and choosing your way of life are only a few ways the players play the game. Chrysalis is the perfect virtual space where every orphan under the care of the government is placed in an in-game family to receive all the love and care of parents they so desperately need. This project helps kids socialize and mold them into the adults of the future. They are in charge of how they grow up in the virtual space, which was built to advance society.

But something went seriously wrong for Anji.
[end] (full description on )

Just the description alone got me really interested in reading this book. The premise is really unique and I’m always a sucker for an underdog type story with hardened characters you grow to love.

At first it took me a bit to get into this book. The first opening paragraph/scene, is a bit awkward writing wise.

The writing I think made it hard for to picture the world (virtual and orphanage) and hard to connect with some of the characters. The lines between the virtual reality and the actual orphanage blurred and it was hard to picture either worlds.

As I kept reading however because I was intrigued by Anji, Eliza Donovan and the other adult figures in his life. I started to connect to Anji more, and the more he was in the virtual world the more I could imagine it.

Both worlds surprised me at how harsh and cruel they were. The virtual world was almost worst than the real world. I found myself feeling disgusted at certain scenes. It felt unnecessary.
So I would give the caution that there are some violent scenes in this book.

The plot overall was interesting and had lots of cool twists. Parts of it felt rushed but overall this book is worth checking out, although it might not have been my cup of tea.

I would recommend this book to those who like virtual gaming worlds, LitRPG, fantasy and sci-fi books.

The ending of the book got me intrigued and interested in what the next book holds.

This is a slice of life story with a huge emphasis on training. If you like that, you’ll love this. There’s tons of details about abilities, skills, magic systems, and more. But it’s mostly the main character (MC) training and growing powerful.

Storywise this is a slice of life training story. The main character, Anji, is an orphan that is just trying to survive in a world that doesn’t care about him. He’s learned that no one in life is going to help him. Then he’s forced to log into the world of Chrysalis and gets NPC parents that make him appreciate what it’s like to be cared for. He just wants to live there and enjoy the game. So he trains like heck to develop his skills, abilities, and levels. But a sinister group sends him to hell, where he’s still determined to survive and spends most of his time again training, leveling, crafting, and learning new forms of magic. All to get back to the normal earth like plane to get his revenge. Eventually, the MC gets back to earth, where, you guessed it, he does more training. There’s lots of fights and some surprising twists in the story but again, mostly training.

On the real world side of the story, it’s a mix of people trying to control or force the MC to do what they think is best for him and eventually bigger forces looking to exploit him because of how he develops because of the game. Interesting stuff, but the novel spends much less time IRL.

Overall, this is a good read as long as you recognize it for what it is, a slice of life training story. I personally liked seeing how the character developed his powers, skills, magic, and how that carried over into his real world plans to become independent.

Score 7.3 out of 10
