This really should be considered a book about friendship that just so happens to qualify as a litRPG book rather than a litRPG book. Unfortunately the author then spends a lot of time telling readers about the MCs’ family relations, who’s dating who, doctor appointments, etc., probably because the author has chosen to base the book on the most boring possible VR game imaginable so these tidbits are needed to prop up the story, which they do. Now that they are retired they have the time to get into the newly created VR game Last Horizon as beta testers. They have been friends for years, largely based on shared gaming experiences when younger.
Unfortunately the story is about a very boring use of VR.Ĭontrarily, one interesting aspect of the story is that the MCs are retirees. “Last Horizon: Beta” is essentially just the story of some people’s experiences in a VR fantasy.
