A journey far from home. Becoming enslaved . Giving in to your inner monster.

Having survived the first wave of invading players, Oren now seeks to strengthen his clan. With the Breeder’s Den destroyed and most of Goblin's Gorge's resources devoted to rebuilding, his best hope lies in creating an army of golems. But for that, he needs Viridium, a rare metal that can only be obtained from hobgoblin towns, where Oren and his clan of goblins are viewed as nothing more than potential slaves. To make his way in the game, and to defeat his former guild, Oren’s ingenuity alone will not be enough. He will need to conquer his deepest fears and tap into his inner monster.

    Shemer has been a fan of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and RPG games since the early 80’s.

    In 2016 he started writing his first novel: Life Reset which turned into a 6-book series with its grand finale published in 2021. Each book in the series became an Amazon bestseller.

    In 2019 Shemer quit his day job as a software developer to become a full-time author and released his second series: Earth Force; a finished 3-books sci-fi series.

    Biomancer series was next, following events occurring after the conclusion of Life Reset via a new protagonist.

    As an avid gamer, a D&D dungeon master, and a Navy veteran, Shemer has a wealth of life experience to draw on for his writing. His books always include elements of kingdom/settlement development where the protagonist is forced to carve out a new place for themselves in the face of adversity.

    Shemer spends his days writing and his nights fighting crime (well, mostly convincing his kids to go to bed, which is very similar).

    Shemer also enjoys writing about himself in the third-person and hopes you find his work enjoyable.

Been an obsessed reader of litrpg since I learned of the genre last year and, in my opinion, Life Reset is the best that there is. I've been reading "hobnobbing" on Patreon as the author releases chapters each week and the quality continues as the series progresses. Great plot, real sense of danger. The character and town development ties integrally into the storyline. Really a fantastic enjoyable read. Sorry gnomes, goblins rule!

There are a couple of continuity errors, some redundant wording, and the occasional missing word in the text; but they are minor problems in an otherwise excellent yarn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good storytelling.
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019

I honestly liked this whole story arc, all three books. Im also now sufficiently vested in seeing what happens next when this storyline picks up again.

As for the nittygritty of the review:
In terms of gaming progression, I think it was handled pretty well overall. Unlike some other LitRPG books, there weren't needless forays into the status screens every time something happened. The Author had the foresight to parse those times down concisely to what needed to be relayed.
The overall handling of skills, ranking, and other elements was also simple enough to have that minimalist approach, yet deep enough to not feel misinformed.
The reasoning given as to how the MC interacted with the world around him and the "real life" qualities therein was relatively sound and quite plausible. As yet another example of difference between the various authors of LitRPG novels, this series contained quite a bit of the extraneous OOC and Real World moments to a handful of paragraphs throughout. They were mainly handled as retold knowledge divulged to the MC by other characters within the game. This approach honestly kept the story nice and intact without feeling awkward when exposition was needed.

As for this book itself, I totally didnt expect this ending. I'm also glad that this isn't a solid endpoint to the series.

My slight gripes are few in number.
The main bad guy is a bit of a trope. It's difficult to imagine a game with this level of immersion being played to such a degree. It's also difficult to imagine this level of intrigue and starting drama being done over a guild.
I'm an old WoW player, I understand dedication to a game and the intensity of playing. I just have a difficult time imagining getting as indepth as these players seem to.

Solid series overall.

Shadow-crap? Really?
Vengeance is mine, if my name is Oren. This appears to the end of the first story arch.
Considering that there are more books in the series, I'm guessing that another one will be starting with the next one. Tom out

Each book gets better and better!

New Era Online has great diversity in characters, plot, combat, and magic.

Some reviewed the ending as terrible, but I disagree. The ending left me wanting to read more, and people should understand this is LitRPG. LitRPG blends a bit of science fiction and fantasy.

I just finished the book yesterday night, and I had a dream I was in the world of New Era Online. Haha! It felt so real. Even when I finished the third book, it was hard to tell what was real and what wasn't, because the author describes, in vivid detail, about the fine line between a game world and real life. I'd imagine eventually VR technology can get this good, and it is indeed hard to know what is real and what isn't.

Also, several times this book had me laughing out loud. There are a couple of funny situations in the book.

Read this book! You won't even know it's LitRPG because it's more like an RPG/fantasy. My main concern with reading LitRPG is if people don't feel pain and if we know it's a game world, the world loses its sense of reality, because we know the characters won't die and everybody can respawn. But you don't get that feeling with Hobnobbing, because of how immersive the story is. You feel right there with Oren, the main character, as your life is on the line.

Life Reset: Hobnobbing (New Era Online Book 3)

I'm seventy-one years old, and have been playing RPG games on an assortment of computers for the past three decades.

I stumbled across my first LitRPG genre book just a year ago, and have read dozens of books, by an assortment of LitRPG authors.

The Life Reset Trilogy is my latest conquest.

I Finished Book No.2 in July 29018 and it left me wanting more.

I was delighted to see that Book 3 had been released a couple weeks ago.

I wasted no time getting back into the adventres of my favorite Goblin Totem Chief.

I especialy liked reading about the buiding of a Goblin Village from the gground up,
and all the hallnges that entailed.

It reminded me of another LitRPG series titled "The Land" where the main character did the same thing,
except his village was for human occupants.

So, in shot, if you enjoyed "The Land" series, I feel you would feel right at home in the "Life Reset" series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I expected
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019

I'm still wrapping my head around the ending. At first I was thinking that the ending negated everything done before it, but that isn't true. Everything before it was necessary to get to where we are now.

Unfortunately it will be a long time before we get to read the second arc in the series, but I enjoyed this third book enough to finish it in two days. I don't have a lot to say about the end because we are given such a small glimpse and the next book can change everything. I am reserving judgement of the last 3 percent of this book until the next installment. I certainly hope this series doesn't stall like Game of Thrones. I like to complete an entire series occasionally and I am following far too many series that seem like they'll never end.

So, I liked most of this storyline and series. Awesome plot line and much thinking outside the box.

I do agree that this last book felt a bit rushed, but the only part I wasn't fond of was that our much-loved main character was making deals, then killing those he made agreements with,only to find out afterward that those he killed were planning to kill him first.

Is this a feature of the main character's astounding luck, was the author taking shortcuts to get done sooner, or was he experiencing difficulties in getting from here to there?

I expect that the only way to find out, is to ask politely. Regardless of all that, I await the next book in expectation of finding out what happens next.

After reading many hundreds of books, finally a set which made me stay up the night to finish them. Ok, feeling slightly "rough" now, but I dont regret it.
This is not just extremely well written, the characters lovingly created, the storyline and twists amazing, but there is something about it which make you want more and more and more ....
I hope there will be more than just 3 in this series.
And, btw ... now im in trouble ... i have something as brilliant as that to look for. and somehow i doubt it that this will be an easy search.
Readers, just try Book 1 and i will guarantee you will say the same after Book 3 ... more, please!
Thank you, Mr Kuznits! From my imagination, if not my eyes :)
I loved it!
