Outside of the Prince wanting to harvest souls and break out of his prison, there wasn’t a ton of over-arching plot.

He doesn’t know how he got there but pretty readily accepts he’s been transported to another dimension. Rictor is 24 and the last thing he remembers is playing VR with his friends, he wakes up to an imp that looks “too realistic” speaking to him about the rules and laws of The Land. The main character, Rictor, has chosen this side quest and found himself stuck in a video game that’s real, known as The Land. He’s lured humans into playing a video game, and if they accept a certain quest they get transported into his pocket dimension which is an exact replica of the video game. The prince of this court wants to escape his prison, but he knows he can’t do it on his own. This reads much like a typical “guy gets sucked into a video game” kind of story, except this video game is real, it’s a pocket dimension inhabited by demons of the Dark Court. I listened to the audiobook so my spelling may be wrong – Nick Podehl gave a fantastic performance, as usual. I read a lot of litrpg, so when I heard that Aleron Kong was “the father of litrpg”, I decided to give his books a try.
