"guild building"

2017 · Edward Brody · 460 pages · LitRPG

Eden's Gate: The Reborn is an accessible, fast-paced LitRPG that captures the feel of being dropped into a living MMORPG and having to figure things out. The NPC interactions and world-building carry the book past its rougher edges, and there's a genuine enthusiasm for gaming culture that comes through on every page. The writing has technical stumbles, the protagonist's competence wobbles at inconvenient moments, and the status screens pile up, but readers who enjoy the trapped-in-a-game premise will find this a solid entry point to the subgenre.
