The next book of the series! Pearl of the South (World of the Changed Book #2): LitRPG Series - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083RWY3P5

Let’s go! A new, ultramodern mobile game, and the release is just two days away. Be the best, save the planet! Who’s going to fight back the monster invasion if you don’t? Prerelease already available, no text alerts or payment required.

World of the Changed completely modified human consciousness. The incredible graphics that worked even on the simplest of phones. The intuitive interface that made the game accessible for absolutely anyone. The aggressive marketing campaign that put news about the game on every TV, every phone, every tablet. By the time the launch was a few days away, an entire army of fans was out there waiting for just one thing: Hour X. That was what the mysterious developers were calling the release time.

But did anyone have a clue what Hour X would unleash on them? Were they ready to pay the price the game demanded? Mark Derwin, a student, was just one of many to have no idea what kind of fate awaited him in the game. All he cared about was jumping into the prerelease as soon as it came out.

Editorial Reviews

Review

★★★★★ Ron - I have read a lot of litrpgs in the last couple years and this is the first one I couldn't put down. It kept me up all night and I have to work in a couple hours. If you like game mechanics and sci fi you'll like this one ★★★★☆ LitRPGPodcast -Game mechanic-wise, things are pretty detailed and there some new mechanics that differ from the author's other series. Levels are gained not from killing but from completing system generated missions and finding caches or rare items. Coins are given for taking 1st picture of kills whether human or monster. Coins are used to buy weapons and power packs to run them, stat upgrades, skill upgrades, regeneration packs, and shields to protect from damage. Lots of good upgrades from items, stats, and tech keep the story from getting repetitive and makes the MC feel more and more powerful as the story goes on. Overall this is a good entertaining LitRPG with a brutal main character that is willing to do whatever it takes to survive theRPG apocalypse. Score: 7.6 out of 10 ★★★★★ Tony B - Very intrigued with the story from start to finish! Loved the main character and was pleasantly surprised with the side characters met along the way! The book kept me interested from start to finish! So much so I laid in bed for a day and read it from start to finish!!!! Cant wait to read the next book!!!!!!!!
★★★★★ Desert Dan - This is a great system take over LitRPG novel. That is where aliens comeand reset reality with a game overlay. If you like this style LitRPG this is much faster paced, better written and more focused than the novels by Tao Wong written in this same sub genre. What it doesn't have? Harem, over the top villains, pages and pages of setup before the litrpg starts. In short LitRPG with everything good and no garbage. ★★★★★ Kindle Customer - Mahanenko writes the best litrpg in the world. Every one of them is amazing. I will never pass one up. This new story is just as awesome and different as all the others

Vasily Mahanenko is a fantasy and sci fi author and one of the original founding fathers of the new genre of LitRPG - the MMO-based fantasy and sci fi. His debut novel The Way of the Shaman series took literature by storm in 2012.

Vasily dipped into his college-days insider knowledge as a hardcore gamer in order to create a believable world of the virtual-reality MMO game. His bestselling series combines fiction and video games, telling the story of Shaman and his friends stuck in the ruthless reality of Barliona. He used his more than ten years' experience as an ERP implementation project manager to approach his writing in a well-organized manner, working to a strict schedule, a set of deadlines and even a budget. The entire body of Vasily's works to date is available on Amazon now, with new books adding as he comes up with new fantasy worlds and stories.

One big battle

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a good book. My only issue with this book is that it is one continuous battle. Wow there are very small lapses between the fights, it is still basically nothing but fighting And Internal dialogue!

I rated it five stars because it is well written the characters are well rounded and the plot is fully developed if you like books with lots and lots and lots of fighting.

Brutal apocalypse LitRPG with interesting game system

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

This an Russian translated apocalypse LitRPG story, written by the author of The Way of the Shaman series. Unlike that story, no one is trapped in a VR game, instead the RPG apocalypse comes to earth via some bad aliens. Humans have to learn the new rules to this game, kill mutated monsters, and level up or they will be killed themselves.

The story itself can get pretty dark and brutal with many characters getting killed off. It’s also a bit slice of life and you follow the main character (MC) as he learns all the new rules and does whatever it takes to survive and tries to find and help his sister. The threats come not just from the monsters though, people can be just as deadly, and there are other mysterious enemies to mankind. All of which the MC eventually uncovers and has to deal with. There are some interesting twists that keep things challenging for the MC. Just when you think he’s getting OP, bam, a new twist.

Game mechanic-wise, things are pretty detailed and there some new mechanics that differ from the author’s other series. Levels are gained not from killing but from completing system generated missions and finding caches or rare items. Coins are given for taking 1st picture of kills whether human or monster. Coins are used to buy weapons and power packs to run them, stat upgrades, skill upgrades, regeneration packs, and shields to protect from damage. Lots of good upgrades from items, stats, and tech keep the story from getting repetitive and makes the MC feel more and more powerful as the story goes on.

Overall this is a good entertaining LitRPG with a brutal main character that is willing to do whatever it takes to survive the RPG apocalypse.

Phenomenal story, as usual!

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024

Verified Purchase

Mahanenko writes extremely well crafted stories. This story is Sci-Fi based with mutations and SciFi machines. The bad guys are not only from outer space but also self-serving humans. Except for 1, I haven't seen any that are necessarily evil, just looking out for themselves.
I can't wait to read book 2.

Great, original, hardcore litRPG

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2021

Great story, excellent world building, & I love the main character. In the story, the stakes are high for the MC, and the book is packed with action. I just finished it and I’m about to order the second one immediately. Great book by an excellent author. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have read by this great writer.

A high Three

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Human civilization ends when a video game becomes reality. Only one in six have a chance to be players and most don't survive the first hour. Mark does and starts fighting back, trying to save his sister, and also the world.
It is engaging, action packed, inconsistent, and filled with numbers both arbitrary and meaningless. It is good, not great, but a solid story with lots of potential for the inevitable sequels.

Disappointed by my litRPG hero

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

The Way of the Shaman was my very first litRPG story, and I had a deep appreciation for Mr. Mahanenko's style of writing there. The characters had depth and developed, the world building was excellent, and there were enough surprises to keep it interesting. None of that was in this book. Still, the author has been a favorite of mine, and I could have chalked it up to being a different style since this is more of the post-apocalyptic "world changed into a game" sub-genre that often reads more like an action-adventure movie. I even enjoy those types of books and movies a lot, though I wasn't expecting it from Mr. Mahanenko.

No, what disappointed me was that I enjoyed his work more than others because as I read other Russian litRPG I noticed more and more casual misogyny, but I never saw him put down women or give them lesser roles in The Way of the Shaman. With this book, Mr. Mahanenko becomes like all of the others. Maybe I just missed his views before, but this has been a real let-down. I lost one of my litRPG heroes.

Also, don't let anyone tell you his work is better than Tao Wong. Mr. Wong's System Apocalypse books are just as dark and gritty, but there are real characters there. You don't always like all of the characters, and a lot of people die, but they feel human, flawed, and real.

In short LitRPG with everything good and no garbage.

Fun Read!

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020

This series of books is a very fun read. LitRPG is a new genre for me, but I am finding it to be a fun one, especially when well written like these three are. I would definitely recommend this book and its two sequels! Lots of detail to the world and the game system, and very good follow up on connecting plot points and not leaving any plot holes.

Enjoyable Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

A very good story but my enjoyment of its rich character development and story telling was soured a bit by the fact that only the first book is available on Kindle Unlimited and then the remainder have to be purchased separately.

When a author puts the first book up to the unlimited library to lure you into a story, only to try squeeze more money out of you with further purchases outside of your membership feels very much like a trap. So rather unhappy with that.

That being said, don’t start this book unless you are willing to shell out the extra cash as the story is so engaging that you end up buying the rest regardless.
