It can be a tad underwhelming or just plain jarring. When it comes to the cities, describing events, coming through with a building atmosphere or the clashing of titans, he nails it. He is just a tad too robotic and doesn't really fit with the book, in my opinion. He does do a great job at building a good atmosphere, but falls short on some deliveries and tone of certain characters. What does David Stifel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? Probably 'Ready Player One' though that is only for the mmo theme. What other book might you compare Awaken Online: Catharsis to and why? Regardless, it is a very good read if you can deal with some minor eyerolling moments. For me personally, I may have enjoyed this book more in print. Would you consider the audio edition of Awaken Online: Catharsis to be better than the print version? Nothing about this is good? Im just confused at the rating.

Bad bland characters predictable plot unrealistic world, boring story of self indulgence. Christ please someone message me and tell me what this book has to offer. They also introduced the cliche love interest who can do nothing but simp for our dear great poor wounded main character. Jason is the most bland uninspired character of them all. Why tf are all the player characters so underhwelming? They mention that some of the strength comes from emotion. Nevermind that you constantly one shot things way over your level and you can command a huge army of soldiers stronger than regular PCs. Moving into the game world, he has constantly overpowered abilities granted to him and keeps acting like he's overcoming some challenge and his 'tactics' are the only thing getting him by. He goes on to live in his aunt's spare room and laments to himself how it only has a bed. They call him welfare because his environmentalist lawyer parents got him a scholarship? He ain't even poor. It's a self absorbed teenager who's constantly whining about the laughably cartoonist world he lives in. Unless you are an angsty 12 year old who can literally not imagine anyone else as an actual person.
