I loved the Alterworld series by D. Rus, and when I heard this series (Way of the Shaman) by another Russian writer was being translated into English, I couldn't contain my excitement! I eagerly awaited its release and this book does not disappoint!The main character is (unjustly) sentenced to prison for eight years. The world is economically dominated by a particular virtual reality game and prisoners are forced to mine raw ore for other players to buy off the government. Prisoners are given a random starting character (not of their choosing) and can feel all sensations, including pain. Prisoners may not leave their designated mine area except under specific and hard to achieve parole conditions.The main character is given a fairly ridiculous main class (shaman) and a difficult to improve profession (jeweler). Much like the Korean novel Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, the main character must use his fortitude, gaming skills, and quirks of a despised class/profession to succeed against all odds.I enjoyed this book so much that I practically read it in one sitting! I can't wait for more! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200." *by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015* *Minor spoilers ahead*Survival Quest is a fine addition to the litrpg genre. One of the items that helps differentiate this title from its fellows is that our protagonist does not deliberately seek out the vrmmorpg world he is placed into. Instead, he is made to join the digital realm after accidentally exercising his hacking skills on an unintended target, earning him the equivalent role of a gold farmer. As he played the relevant game as a hobby prior to his incarceration, he is familiar with some, but not all of the steps he must take to level up in his new role. The immersive experience he is put through gives him advantages and disadvantages that help to advance our protagonist, as well as the plot. The main downside to this title is that as of the time of this review, the book has no sequel available for purchase, leaving readers right with our protagonist preparing himself for the mostly unknown challenges that await him. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot more fun than I expected - there's the satisfaction on gear ... *by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016* A lot more fun than I expected - there's the satisfaction on gear and loot drops that define this emerging genre, but fleshed-out characters that you want to follow. The dynamics between players and characters is smart and believable, but not weighed down with either overbearing pomposity or self-congratulatory (but ultimately weak) humor that can infest this genre. A fun read if you're geeky enough like me to enjoy these types of stories. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/41571031-survival-quest-the-way-of-the-shaman-book-1-litrpg](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/41571031-survival-quest-the-way-of-the-shaman-book-1-litrpg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
