It began after I got rejected by Signal again, though at the time I had no idea what was happening.

Titles and levels suddenly appeared above people’s heads and then weird things began to happen, as if I was in a game. And then, I realize I was in a game.

But…

if my life is a game, I’m going to win it. My name’s Jaune Arc and I’m the Gamer. Collapse

    This is a good novel. It's just not for me.

    People shouldn't be discouraged from reading it just because it's a fanfic of other works.
    The author does a good job of world building, character development, and so on, that the novel is fairly well written and very good at standing on its own.

    However, despite my compliments, I'm afraid this novel is not for me. There's a certain heavy sense of tragedy in this novel. It tries to remain upbeat. It tries to present the MC as a fighter who will overcome the odds. But it really likes to shove his face in the dirt in ways I am not comfortable with.

    I haven't read the entire novel, and I don't know that I even want to, so I don't know how bad it will get. But it has pushed past the point of my comfort zone, and it seems to be on an downwards trend. Maybe, if I decided to finish this novel in the future, I'll come back and add to my thoughts here.

      There is romance but Legendary Moonlight Sculptor is my top on virtual game. It has a slight harem but Peerless White Emperor is humourous enough.

          Most multiverse novels are based on gaming system, so it is a "real" VR novel.

          Check "the oracle path" and "defiance of the fall"

          Both are slower novels, but I read both, even with there 750+ chapters released.

    Pretty sure this is either discontinued or being delayed from all the stuff Ryuugi does. I checked Ryuugi on Spacebattles and that's a lot of stuff he or they are writing. And there isn't any info when Book 2 will come out as it's been 4-5 years already since the (preprologue?) Snippets or whatever for it came out.

        A creative writing forum for the most part, theres all kinds of stuff on there but this novel is really the magnum opus of the site, theres some pretty cool stuff there so i'd definitely check it out.

      Honestly I feel that the end of book 1 ties the story together pretty well, I don't believe that it needs a second book since the ending was very satisfactory, a continuation at this point would do nothing but mar what is already damn near perfect.

          The so-called book 2 was announced in 2016. I really don't think it's ever going to exist.

      This is a fanfic from a property called RWBY. Basic worldbuilding and characters are taken from there. Jaune is meant to be sort of like Jeanne, farm kid without any knowledge trying to be a hero.

      Honestly yeah, this has to be one of, if not my favorite fanfictions since it takes the concepts of the source materials (RWBY and The Gamer) and takes them in a completely unique direction that I found particularly interesting

            Some youtubers 9 years ago made anime-like 3d cartoon then one of authors (main one) died and franchise go to publisher that continue it.
            It's story about 4 girls (mostly about ruby if i'm remember right) which first name letters make title. They go to hunter school and fight with dark monsters + some "bad humans on monster side" stuff. Each girl have unique powers and weapon, like ruby has gun-scythe.

            It was hype thing years ago. Even now some artists draw ruby or yellow girl.

          Yeah, I haven't watched RWBY either but still really enjoyed it, although if I am to be honest I did find myself on the rwby wiki on a couple of occasions to look at established appearances and a couple of other minor things, it was written earlier into rwby's running so theres a good amount of stuff that is said on the wiki but is not the case in the novel, I can however understand that it may be offputting feeling that you should check the wiki halfway through reading
