The Crafting of Chess by Kit Falbo

4.0

A young man enters a fantasy setting MMORPG to craft and make money. A coming of age story that also reflects the conflict between the NPCs that live in the world and the player that acting ruthless towards the NPCs because even bad behaviour has no real consequences.
Wonderfully written. I could sympathise with the main characters a lot (yes plural -there are three characters we follow - but the player chess is the central point.)
I like how the game mechanics were handled. And now i want to read how the story continues.
