Author's Description

Titan Online: a sci-fi game where the wealthy fly battleships and wage wars for solar systems while the poor farm asteroids to build those ships. Jack is a vet, a drone pilot injured by a missile strike. Discharged, jobless, alone, he enters the game. The Titans are a wild card. Powerful beyond any other ship class, a Titan class ship can take out entire fleets. A ticket to fame and fortune, every megacorp wants one. Competition is fierce. But when Jack finds one instead, everything changes.

Why I Chose it

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a gamer. The whole litrpg category is not something I understand at all. However...

This is great writing. By the end of the first episode, I cared about this character and I was enjoying the action. And yeah, there's a lot of action happening, right from the start.

[41 episodes so far, with 11 updates in the last 30 days.]

Who Might Like This

Anyone who enjoys space opera with a military bent will want to be onboard for this serial. I'll even expand that -- anyone who likes to read space opera of any type should check this out.

Unrelated Griping

Not much griping about other serials today. I passed on a couple of others. Both had really intense descriptions of gross things in the first episode. I mean... Great descriptive writing, but maybe make me invested in your characters before you make me gag, okay?
