Description: It is the year 2100 AD. Technological advancements have made possible the existence of virtual reality, and now the long-awaited has arrived – “Second Life”, a virtual reality game with a realism level of 99%. Provoked by her younger twin brother during an argument over the “unfair advantages” that female players have, Feng Lan is determined to beat her brother without using the benefits of her gender…and thus ends up being the first and only transgendered player in the entirety of “Second Life”.My Opinion: A very good gaming novel, which was actually the first of it‘s kind I read. It’s the very reason I love reading such novels. And it‘s such a fun and exiting story that you just can't stop reading! And the art of the newest edition is simply incredible, it looks sooo good (it even has black and white illustrations included)~!!!
The main character Feng Lan wants to prove herself and ends up playing as a male elven character named Prince, who is so incredible beautiful and hot she has problems playing normally (including getting pursued by a hot male demon bard, who is apparently gay. With her team mates who all have their own little quirks she strives to create the greatest legend of Second Life, the legend of Prince.
If J-Novel Club will ever start licensing chinese novels, too, I really, really hope they will license this novel! -
