Death March by Phil Tucker

3.0

A both common and a little different take on the LitRPG genre. The main character, Chris, takes a risk by joining the Euphoria game in Death March, meaning that if he dies in the game, he will die in real life. The reason is a classic one - to save his brother from the death penalty.

The setup and plot are more or less the same as in other LitRPG books, but in this one Chris is tricked by his ex-gf and start out with no gear, no world knowledge and in a high level area. Luckily for Chris he has a lot of VR gaming experience and good game reflexes and decision making.

The book is well written, easy to read, fast-paced and entertaining without being anything special. Its a good place to start if you are interested in LitRPG.
