It was supposed to be seven days in a completely immersive game, and a chance for old four friends to catch-up and renew their bonds. But when the system's AI develops a fatal bug, a new AI is born, and this one has some very different ideas about how an RPG should be run. Now, Aaron, Mack, Tanner, and Josh are stuck in the bodies of characters they didn't choose, fighting for their lives in a warped and frequently lewd world.

This is my take on the theme of people being stuck in a game a world.
What to expect: a classic European fantasy realm with some twists, a band of misfits beating the odds, drastic feminizations, moral corruption, embarrassing situations, and plenty of sex.
For those reading for the sex, please be patient. It's going to be a gradual build up to the truly smutty stuff. Also, unlike some of my other stories, it won't be constant.
For those reading for the game play elements: there will be some, but I'm not planning on getting into the nitty-gritty of it. Mainly, the RPG will just be the world they're in. So, if you want to see the result of every saving throw, this might not be for you.
Please Note: the character narrating each chapter is listed in each chapter title.
great story author love the unique take on the genre and the mix between the great characters and fun adventure and the psychological horror elements are great. Interested to see how it develops and love to see that you update at your own convienence. Some people are obsessed with once twice thrice a week but you see so many stories like that abandoned on this site. Stick with it but write the story you wanna write at a comfy pace.

Okay, so this is smut, pure and simple. I don't know why the author bothers to put content warnings in front the chapters with s*x in them, as it feels like they far outnumber the rest. But what is there is good. So, if smut is what you are looking for, this has got it.
This story features a shifting first-person narrative between a party of (eventually) eight individuals. Pretty much every chapter is from a different perspective and that often becomes disorienting to the detriment of the story. Quite often, I found myself having to refer to the chapter title in order to understand who the narrator even was, and if I did not have that reference, I would have no way of knowing. Frankly, the author would have been much better served using a third-person limited style.
The draw of this story, however, is in the fact that there is an AI which
is slowly transforming the people within its game-world, both mentally and physically, to the point where they aren't even sure who they are anymore and would have serious second thoughts in returning to a reality where their body and mind is no longer what they perceive as their own.
As to sheer writing skill, I will say it is a little spotty, both in terms of grammar and scene construction, but it is still quite readable unless you are super picky. I will say that sometimes, I found myself skimming sections toward the beginning where the author spent a little too much time talking about loot drops. Usually because found items were often discarded and upgraded and what with the sheer number of characters, it was next to impossible to keep track. However, this problem mostly goes away after they exit the first dungeon area.
