About

Cover art: Will Schwarzburg (me!) 

The world is in ruins, and in the last stronghold of civilization a deadly curse strikes down the young and steals their lives. For centuries, the cure has been out of their grasp. The Lords must now forge from steel the new generation to rise up against the menace. Welcome to the Game of Life!

Faoros, a prodigious science student at the Academy, is baffled by its suffocating leadership. Eager to fulfill his dream of eradicating the Curse and freeing himself from the Lords, he enters the Game. However, he is woefully unprepared when a sentient simulation approaches him, offering him the power to bring his imagination to life and to reveal the truth about the Lords' ultimate purpose.

What to Expect: In A Raven's Game of Change, a young student’s curiosity and defiance lead him to challenge his current self and explore adulthood. Expect science fiction to blend with fantasy and swords to clash with guns. Faoros's profound ability to reshape reality grows stronger, but the real question is whose reality and what version of it?

Praise for this book

I like the world a lot!

I think around the ten chapter mark is a pretty good place to write a review, so here goes. This has been a good read so far. I'm just starting to get into Litrpgs and this one was nice. The world has been very immersive to read about so far. I love how the sci-fi and fantasy elements blend together to create something truly unique. But I might be a tiny bit biased because I love dystopian fiction so much.

The first little bit was on the slower side but the pacing didn't drag and there was enough mystery and suspense to keep me reading. The main hero is pretty well done. He's very ambitious and determined. I like that he has skill but isn't perfect. Things aren't sunshine and rainbows for him and he does have low points. It's nice to see a smart and determined character who also has a long ways to go. I'm excited to spend more time with this world!
