Project Daily Grind (Mirror World Book #1) LitRPG series Kindle Edition

The Mirror World series was one of the first I read within the LitRPG genre. The rich story, with a very Russian tone, captivated me. It has remained one of my all-time favorites, and helped inspire me to begin writing. - Dave Willmarth, author of The Greystone Chronicles

The next book of the series! The Citadel (Mirror World Book #2) LitRPG series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FKC7JTW

A new LitRPG series set in a virtual world of an online MMORPG game! 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. Neither 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?

★★★★★ Zay - Absolutely give this book a try no matter if your new to the genre or aseasoned veteran it is absolutely worth it.

★★★★★ Popescu Marcel Doru - With all the great LitRPG coming out of Russia, I might need to look into learning the language.

★★★★★ Mad Scientest in training - With a library of literally tens of thousands of books, I am not easily impressed. This book did.

Zero combat, so that’s different. Some of the ‘real life’ portion does an excellent job of supporting the narrative.

Some of the ‘real life’ stuff...it must be a cultural thing. Some concepts simply don’t translate well because the things that ‘everybody knows’ aren’t the same.

It’s different from most other LitRPG. And the system seems solid. But I don’t thing I will be continuing the series. Between the deus ex machina and the actual ghost in the machine subplot the MC has less agency than I prefer.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wrote this same review for the second book. There is a reason I took the time to copy it here. I will explain in the review.

This review is the same review I added to the second book of this series except for this introduction. The reason I took the time to do this is firstly and least importantly I want to ensure that any potential LitRPG readers understand this is a great series worthy of their time. Most importantly the reason for his is rather selfish on my part. I love LitRPG books however they are mostly translated from Russian at the moment and it takes money and time as well as a fan base large enough to encourage the publishers of these books to translate these books in a timely manner. As such when a series like this comes about it is important for fans to ensure they spread the word. I hope that by posting this review new potential readers will give his book and this series a chance. I know many who do will become addicted as I have become and will be able to further encourage translation of these stories. This is a great LitRPG book one thing, obviously not the biggest or most important but still a major plus, is this may be one of the single best translated LitRPG books. For example there are other amazing LitRPG books out that that weave a story almost as or even as good as this one however the mistranslations can cause major headaches if you're trying to read it all as soon as possible as I do. Now for the other parts. As you can see I gave it five stars so you know I'm probably going to say good things here. For example I really like that while the future of this character becomes pretty apparent rather quick, as it does with all LitRPG main characters, it still manages to bring about those changes in a surprising manner. At no point in this book did I get bored and skip ahead through boring unrelated parts, like say a random love scene that some LitRPG books include that doesn't matter to the story in one but but goes on for a chapter, although admittedly I did read a head in some parts curious how he pulls off a certain series of events then I go back and read the skipped parts. All in all this may not be the very best LitRPG books but I would say it's tied for first with the four I love the most. Way of the Shaman, this book series, the realm of Akron and the play to live series. All four of those are books worthy of your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars With his daughter’s life at stake, Oleg needs to build credit and make money fast
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2022

Enter a digital world with those who pay to adventure, craft and live in the world for fun and exploration. But there are also those who work wage work to earn money, pay back loans and survive in both the online and real worlds. Money moves between the worlds easily and there are banks with a presence inside and outside the game world.
After his wife and he mortgaged and borrowed all they could to get their daughter a new heart, her body sadly rejected it. Now Oleg needs to find a new way to make money and his recently discovered half brother has an idea.
With his advice and help, Oleg joins the online Grinders workforce, deciding to mine his way to repaying his debt and borrowing even more. Because his daughter needs another heart to survive, he has been traveling where the best paying work allowed but now he needs to delve into a new reality. Oleg will become Olgerd and luck into choosing a hidden race as he applies his usual determination and endless drive to save his daughter into the game world as he works the riskier version of contracts.
A new world unfolds as we see a daily worker become the vehicle of a resentful game developer’s last great work in the online world. Now he is along for the ride as he discovers all the developer placed in his path before it disappears entirely.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little different take on a lit rpg
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016
Verified Purchase
Definitely a little bit different take on the main character for a virtual reality roleplaying game and a good reason for the MCs motivation. Overall I liked the more mature personality in this story as it set this apart from so many others. I also liked the game system and characters decently and the set up for conflict between the MC and a host of other PCs in the game world.
Now what I didn't enjoy as much was the apparent way in which so much was just given to the main character early on and through out the book. I am not saying that he didn't work or suffer at times in the story but so much of the meta plot revolves around hand outs the character is being spoon fed by the mysterious Andrew “Pierrot” Petrov's programing that it kind of cheats us out of actual acomplishments. add to that the fact that initially the main character doesn't even bother to research any of the game he is dependant upon to make his riches off of and boy does he need to make money and it felt wrong/out of character for him and the story. still overall it kept me interested and entertained enough to be looking forward to the next installment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth 5 stars.
Reviewed in Australia on March 5, 2024

After finishing the Mirror World series, I can enthusiastically report that it is worth the read.

Why? Bear with me... LitRPG usually falls into three categories - a gamified fantasy world, an isekai variation (either one or more protagonists is transferred to a gamified world, or in a system apocalypse our own world is gamified) or a full-immersion VR game. Mirror World is the latter. What makes it different? Oleg (the protagonist) doesn't live in Mirror World, he doesn't live to play Mirror World, he just works there. His initial intention is to toil away making money to provide for his family. At no point in the series is he a mighty warrior hewing his way through hordes of orcs in order to be the hero who slays the Dark Lord. (In fact there is no Dark Lord in the series, just the usual range of humans, some kind and friendly while others demonstrate all the worst features of gamers).

Mirror World itself exists solidly in the real world. It is a game, with admins who make sudden changes to maintain balance, a developer monetizing away in the background, sponsorship deals for successful players, screenshots and short videos recorded for social media accounts... Generally a believable literary world.

The moment that really stood out for me as a welcome surprise comes when Oleg finishes a long full-immersion session and is finally relieved to at last be able to press the Logout button to get back to reality and his family. I wasn't quite as relieved to finish my immersion in the world. The good news is that this is one of those series that is going to stand up to one or more re-reads.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best RPGlit and possibly one of the best sci-fantasy I've read in a long time.

I first saw this (audio)book (a translation from a Russian author) in my public library in Washington state, US. Loved it so much I had to have a hardcopy. No book in the series is available in the US except as an audiobook but I loved it enough to shop outside the 'states. This was my first book of the RPGlit that I'd seen and since then (because this was so good) I've looked for every book I could find in the genre. In my opinion, this and the rest of the series are still the best I've read. I wish I could find more by this author.

This book portrays a man in situation that continue to grab your attention with the depth of plot and detail. While the book leaves you desperately needing to read the next book, it doesn't end with a cliff hanger (one of my biggest pet peeves of any series). There are really good guys and really bad guys. It's a story which leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering if a good man's friends will stand by him through all the tough times and if the mob has actually won. Who can he trust when everyone wants to win?

4.0 out of 5 stars Warning 0 combat

This book is a gathering litrpg. The mc doesn't so much as throw a single attack from start to finish. Normally I'm all about combat and increasing stats, but some how I still loved this book. There's just so much intrigue!
With that being said I'm a little confused. He very rarely mentions money, and only in reference to getting a loan. Despite having an exceedingly well paid profession, he shows no interest in actually getting paid or selling his wares, just - a loan. I might have misunderstood something early on but didn't he mention someone at his skill level (by the end) being paid around 5k a week? Combine that with the fact is goes up exponentially with his op growth rate... in a month of grinding and using the highest tier mines... isn't it entirely possible of him farming over 100k in recourses a week? If he just got to work he should be able to pay for the entire treatment within a few months? I don't know. Like I said. I'm confused. The guy can now farm items better than diamonds yet he's still focused on a loan. It's weird.
