Publisher's Summary
The ads enthused, "The virtual lands of Mirror World await you! Live out your most secret dreams in our world of Sword and Sorcery! Become a Great Wizard or a Famous Warrior! Build your own castle, tame a dragon, conquer a kingdom! All those desperate, lonely, and insecure - Mirror World offers you a chance!"
But Oleg isn't meant to become a great wizard or a famous warrior. He'll never have a castle of his own. Nor will he ever tame a dragon. And he's definitely not the type to conquer a kingdom, however virtual it may be.
Oleg is doomed to toil away in the recesses of Mirror World's mines. His goal is to raise enough money for a heart transplant for his dying six-year-old daughter. The clock is ticking. Will he make it?

Is this book right for you?
I read the whole series as an audiobook.
Performance a 4.5/5.
Speed - Slow but informative. You are always aware of what the protagonist is thinking.
Family Friendliness - This title gets a 4.5/5. If you let your kids watch movies with mild swearing and death, this is no different.
Protagonist-A man of integrity. Introvert. family man. An intellect. Married.
Swearing? Yes, but no F-bombs and it's pretty infrequent.
Gore? A little bit. Also very infrequent.
Love - Nothing inappropriate at all. Very happily married and faithful.
I thoroughly loved this book series. The game mechanics are great. Mirror Wolrd is awesome. I absolutely love the main character (helps that I'm a dad). I often find lots of description boring, but in the audiobook, you hear the emotional reaction to everything that gets described, or there is some sort of tactical relevance, so it always held my attention

meh.
The initial hook was good, but eveything else is lacking.
It's poorly translated, and I find the author repeating himself too much for my taste.
Also, the protagonist is all over the place. he's supposed to be a 40 year old parent who's been fighting for his daughter's life, but runs around in the game world like he doesnt know how to function. Then the next moment he's a paranoid genius who see's through everyone's lies. The world doesnt feel consistent.

Started well and ended… meh?
I enjoy most of these game lit books. Especially the ones that are a little different. Where the main character is not just an OP mage or warrior. Most of what I seem to listen to is translated from Russian.
This book started with some promise. Lots of talking through things but I’m ok with that. Main character is learning things. Puts in the work. Has a special bonus to explain why our main character is able to progress faster than others.
But the short term issue is resolved fairly early so there’s 3/4 of the book to tackle the next goal? Or maybe we are aiming for some of the other milestones required to reach that main goal. No…. The main character just gets handed massive increases to reach skill goals in the span of 5 minutes. Oh and while we are at it. Here’s 5 more extra special handouts that we didn’t even know were game mechanics. I assume they are special somehow but there is no indication that they actually are of any importance. Oh, the main skill of our character?. Nope, not allowed to use that for the 2nd half the book.
And then the book ends. In the middle of nothing special. There has not just been some goal achieved or milestone reached. And no new issue has presented. We’re just moving on to the next thing.
I have no motivation to read the next book. I can only assume he will continue to walk around aimlessly. Getting free handouts and blaming his benefactor for ruining his life.
I didn’t hate it. It wasn’t a bad book. It’s just not a good book.
