Über diesen Titel
The year is 2375, and the world has been drained of most of its natural resources. In order to preserve their dying planet, the government puts The Digital Life Initiative into action.
Those deemed of low economic value are placed into a state of cryogenic sleep, their minds connected to a myriad of virtual worlds. They become digital citizens, living out their lives in virtual cities.
Kadia Greene wasn’t someone who had any interest in the virtual worlds, unlike her brother who spent his days wasting away in a VR capsule. Top of her class, and on the fast track to university, Kadia is horrified to find herself issued with a notice of digitalization. In an instant, her life begins to fall apart around her, but as she enters Kaledon, the newest and most realistic fantasy world on the market, Kadia finds her dreams and passion rekindled.
The First Tail is book one in the Nine Tails of Alchemy, a slice-of-life series set in a virtual world that follows the struggles and successes of a Kitsune protagonist.
©2022 Taniko K Williams (P)2023 Podium AudioThere are two main plots, the first one being the MCs being forced into a digital form of citizenship in a fantasy world and the second plot being what happens to her in the “real” world.
The real-world plot is only present for about the first third of the book and only plays a minor role at first glance, but it hints at why the MC develops the way she does. The consequences are very subtle but thinking about it a bit and it makes sense.
The overall story in the digital fantasy world is a mix of slice of life and adventure and while a bit slow at first it never gets boring. The comedic scenes and references to fantasy, sci-fi and real life are quite amusing, and I had a lot of good laughs.
In the serious scenes, she can get quite a mad killer, especially towards every woman who is like her stepmother in behaviour and archetype. The MC develops quite a zealous hatred for her stepmother.
The story is interesting, has a lot of humour and an overall good pacing and progression. Together with the on-point narration, I was captivated to hear it in one session.
I can recommend this audiobook fully.
Very nice slice of life and advanture story

Let's hope Foxy takes the advice and prays to Celeste or get some other form of help.
Otherwise, the story hits all the gaming and fantasy tropes but with the addition of a really great skill/knowledge system wich keeps happily passive in the background and doesn't distract the flow of the story like we see in many other GameLit/LitRPG books.
The VA does a great job, the first time I listen to something narrated by Rebecca yet and I will gladly wait for the next Book in the series and keep my eyes open for other works from VA and writer.
Nice Story in an interesting Universe

No or nearly no useless status stuff.
Just plain adventure and mechanics that just work.
Outside of a few lewd jokes.
Some overly used "Disney Princess and the Bad Mother/Father" basic plot to start it off.
And a few small logic problems where the MC changes her mood and personalties way to drastically.
This is a fine example of a story one can enjoy to listen to, without fallin asleep from boring repettion of useless stuff.
My main grievance (outside the really weak starting plot) is probably that the MC kinda changes personality traits like clothes. Might be just cause she's gotten some fire in her lit, litterally. But other speculations are either story spoilers or plain bad writing. As i can't really decide how her behavior comes to be, outside of "thats funny and probably a nice mini story!" or "fan service of the cuddly kind!".
*shrugs*
If anyone enjoys a mostly lighthearthed adventure, this is probably a good one for them.
Just be warned that some really stupid cliches and obvious things happen.
Atleast there's no sex scene each 5 minutes like what i feared first... can't really trust my friends "advice" there anymore xD.
PS: The Voice Actor shows her talents in this one. Rarely hear something from her, duo the nature of most of the works she acts out. Too romancy and haremy for my tastest. Only horny teenagers like those, probably :D.
Has its weaknesses, but quite entertaining.

The "technical" RPG elements are kept at minimum. Unlike other books, this one does *not* list every single monster kill and experience increase. Still, the progression of the MC is easily observable by all the new things, recipes, skills she learns and the knowledge she uncovers. Oh, and the number of Kitsune tails she grows, of course. 🦊
The voice acting is exceptional. Rebecca Woods is, in my opinion, on par with Andrea Parsneau reading The Wandering Inn and Emma Gavin reading the Fluff series.
The main character is a snarky, cheeky, ever curious and suuuper smart girl that really comes to life inside one's head with how well the narrator is performing every single chapter. 🥰
... Go get this book, already! 😜
Very promising start of a LitRPG series!
