Abandoned as a child and fostered around a foreign city, Nikolay Somov had little hope of a successful life. Then he was wrongly convicted of a heinous crime and all hope was dashed.
Imprisoned and awaiting execution, Nikolay receives an offer Go on a mission inside the secret, government-controlled virtual world known as Territoria or die.
Within the virtual world, Nikolay enrolls in the mysterious Ravenscroft Academy alongside humans, ogres, faeries and gargoyles. As he continues to explore his new home, Nikolay discovers a conspiracy wrought with inhumane actions, driven by his captors’ boundless lust for power.
What he thought was a school for the gifted turns out to be something else altogether. Surrounded by avatars, under constant surveillance, and fearing his mind has been infiltrated, Nikolay must escape or never see the real world again.
This is the second edition of "Ravenscroft Conspiracy," revised and rewritten with the input from readers.
Immortality Experiment A Virtual Reality Thriller Territoria Book 1 eBook Vic Connor
This is actually a hard review to write. I actually found the premise and setting interesting enough to work past the obvious flaws (and there are several) and finsish the book. The lead-in is really over the top heavy handed. I don't care what sort of past Nico had, there isn'd a guy I know who would need much motivation to jump at the chance to try out a fully immersive virtual world. Maybe even more so for him because his life up to that point hadn't been the most pleasant. It did get the story moving at least.So jump to Territoria which is much like being in a fully immersive version of World of Warcraft. Many of the expected game mechanics are there. You have actual stat bars, an inventory, and take on quests to improve your numbers. Actions you take can change them and it actually affects you when that happens. Cool so far. I wish the promise of the setting had made for a better story. Unfortunately, the characters are almost all cliched stereotypes, there are side plots and characters introduced that are more interesting than the main ones. They keep harping on how the students are all gifted with incredibly high IQ's, but they sure don't show many signs of having them. The pacing goes from sluglike one moment to ludicrous speed the next. Things that really don't matter are gone over in great detail, and things that might are glossed over.
Once progress starts being made on the actual main plotline three fourths of the way through the book, things start to get better. The main characters start to show some actual personalities, and the one bit of obvious forshadowing from early on finally gets used, only to prove ultimately useless, leaving the situation for Nico and his friends is even more bleak that it had been and other than one minor hint that something could help with that.....and then the book ends on a total cliffhanger having resolved nothing.
Let me be clear, don't buy this book. I got it as a freebie or it would have gotten 1 star, I would consider raising this assement if the remainder of the books were forthcoming since then there'd be a complete story to evaluate. Who knows if/when that will happen though, and as a stand alone book, this stinks. Even if the other books do come out, I don't know that I'd be willing to pay more than a buck a shot to read them, certainly not the $4 this is currently selling for. The writing is on the level of mid-range fan fiction, entertaining enough, but certainly not worth reading again in the future.

Immortality Experiment A Virtual Reality Thriller Territoria Book 1 eBook Vic Connor Reviews
I was very intrigued when Vic Connor approached me to review Immortality Experiment. If you have read my About Me page, then you know I am a gamer and play WoW/Sims 4. So for me to imagine a virtual world where you are part of the game isn’t a stretch. I was very eager to read it to see if it met up with what I thought a total immersion virtual reality world would be like. Let’s say that I wasn’t disappointed.
Immortality Experiment was a great read. Like I said above, I had no problem imagining what a total immersion virtual reality world would be like. Territoria lived up to what I imagined. Niko’s storyline did pull at my heartstrings. I did question how a teenager in the foster care system ended up on death row for murdering parents. Parents who disappeared years before. But, thinking about it now, Mr. Clark had something to do with it. The other storyline with Okapi Okonjo was at the same time chilling and sad. Yes, I am feeling sympathy for a man who did horrendous things in the game. The reason why he did such awful things are explained and that is what turned my sympathy on. No one should have to go through that (read the book if you want to find out).
I liked Niko. He had such a hard time growing up. I mean, who wouldn’t when your parents disappear, leaving you to the mercy of the foster care system? I know I wouldn’t have grown up thinking life was all sunshine and roses. Nope, I would have grown up like Niko did.
I could understand Niko’s acceptance of Mr. Clark’s offer. It was either go to Territoria or die. If I had to make the choice, I would have made the same choice as Niko. I loved seeing Territoria for the first time with Niko. All the different races (people’s avatars) were fascinating to read about.
I liked the idea of Ravenscroft Academy. A school for kids who have high IQs that focuses on their education. The more that I read about Ravenscroft, the more it became clear that there was something going on there. I mean, they sealed off the 5th floor, if that gives you any clue. Also, there is a thing called The Hunt which reminded me of The Purge to an extent.
The bad guys weren’t bad guys in the book. Yes, Mr. Clark was asking Niko to do something horrible to his parents but the reasons were valid. Okapi Okonjo also had some valid reasons for being an awful guy in Territoria. I am not defending them by any means. I am saying that I can understand why they did what they did.
The end of the book ended on a cliff hanger. I would be all “I hate cliffhangers” and list all the reasons why I hate them. But in this book, it works. The ending makes you wonder what’s next. That is why I will be reading book 2. I have to find out how Niko progresses with his quest.
My Summary of Immortality Experiment 4 stars
Immortality Experiment is a fast paced young adult novel that will keep you glued to the pages. I found this book a refreshing change from the young adult novels that I have read lately. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 16 and anyone who likes fantasy.
**I received a free copy of this book and volunteered to review it**
Not much Russian culture in it unlike other russian litrpg authors. Main was to me average ,certainly his intelligence was down played from what it should be
I have had the pleasure of reading many books, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is one of the best that I've read that relates to digital worlds. I enjoyed it and I hope that you will write a sequel.
Saying the plot is intriguing is a vast understatement. Very well done; the characters are as believable as the plot allows. And no, not gonna give anything away.
Off to get the next installment!
I was absolutely prepared not to like this book. I'm not a gamer, had never read a LitRPG book, and did not in fact even know what the genre was. But it was recommended to me by someone and I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, I loved it! I found the story intriguing, interesting, at times frightening, and quite believable (within the genre, of course).
The premise of the story is that a kid has been sent into a gaming world to find his parents--two people who were instrumental in creating the world and then apparently found a way to enter into it permanently and obtain their own "God status." While I think some of the timelines of things were a bit off, I liked the relationships which developed between the kids at Ravenscroft, the school for gifted children within the world of Territoria. I especially liked the interesting and creative characters who exist within the alternate universe, most of whom are drawn from Russian and Japanese mythology.
I found the pacing of the book excellent, the dialogue quite believable, and the premise very intriguing. Truthfully, I am hooked. I cannot wait to read book two!!
