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.

Good story but you have to keep in mind that the main character has some kind of brain damage that is hinted at multiple times. Or you will be pretty annoyed how often she has to be scolded. The story has a promise and I hope that I don't have to wait too get the next book.

Cool Story with few flaws.

As others already mentioned, the MC suffers from a personality disorder that may seem weird from a outside perspective but readers who know someone affected by one of the many different neurological or psychological problems with similar symptoms will understand quickly. I'm quite sure, the author has some experience first hand in one or the other way.
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

Ein guter Start in eine neue Serie. Der Anfang war nicht ganz nach meinem Geschmack aber danach ging es sehr gut weiter. Habe es in unter 36 Std durchgehört.

And so it beginns

THIS is how LitRPG stuff should be.
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 story only follows the main character, there's no hopping about between different storylines of different characters. It makes it great for readers who generally don't like it when a book switches to another character when desperately wanted it to continue.

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!
