In the near future, two teens are swept up in the battle for the internet.   A  fast-paced thriller about the consequences of the choices we make.

Jonah Delacroix can't stand the real world - so he lives most of his life inside a global computer-based virtual world called the Metasphere, where everyone is represented by an avatar. When he discovers the avatar of his dead father, and assumes his online identity, he meets Samantha Kavanaugh, a deadly stranger fighting to keep the Metasphere free.  Together, they race across the real world with a secret society to protect the freedom of all mankind.

This is the first of a four books series that is published in paperback around the world by Hachette.  

If you like fast-paced thrillers like The Hunger Games, Ready Player One, and The Maze Runner, I think you'll love METAWARS. 

I'd really appreciate your feedback, and if you get pulled into Jonah & Sam's adventures, please find the sequels (there are 3!) in good bookshops or online, published by Hachette.

Virtual Reality Rebels by AnaMaria380008
9 parts Complete
"In the not-so-distant future, where the boundaries between the real world and the virtual one blur into obscurity, a group of audacious teenagers dares to defy the status quo. Welcome to a world where pixels are the new reality, and the metaverse is king. Meet Alex, a tech-savvy misfit with a rebellious spirit, who stumbles upon a hidden secret that could shatter the digital illusion. It all starts innocently enough with a glitch in the code, a whisper of something amiss in the flawless façade of their virtual existence. But as the anomaly beckons, curiosity turns to obsession, and Alex can't resist the urge to unravel the truth. Joined by a diverse crew of fellow hackers, gamers, and digital outlaws, they embark on an electrifying quest to pierce the veil of the virtual world. Along the way, they'll encounter enigmatic AIs, navigate treacherous dungeons, and unearth cryptic messages left by a shadowy figure known only as "The Architect." As the lines between their augmented reality and the tangible one blur, they must confront a stark reality: some secrets are better left buried in the code. The future of humanity hangs in the balance, and the clock is ticking. But in a world where the digital and physical collide, where virtual friends become real allies, Alex and their companions are about to discover that their rebellion against the virtual regime has far-reaching consequences they could never have imagined. Will they unveil the ultimate truth, or will the digital realm consume them before they can break free? One thing's for sure: The revolution begins here."
Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended by VaughnSchneider
119 parts Ongoing
What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a video game as an NPC with seemingly no hope of returning to the real world? Having grown up without parents, Daisuke finds himself in a perpetual cycle of poverty as he tries to survive in the bottom rung of society. When the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online, is released to the public, he decides to take a gamble by borrowing a buttload of money from some shady people to propel his hack-selling side hustle into the big leagues. After nearly getting his leg twisted into a pretzel for failing to pay off his loan on time, Daisuke decides to put his plan, Operation Jupiter, into action. Although a cool-sounding name, he didn't seem to be in Lady Luck's good graces that day. After uploading the code into his capsule and commencing the startup, everything goes haywire, booting his consciousness into the virtual world. When Daisuke comes to, he finds himself as a newborn fresh out the meat oven-and, of course, his circumstances are far from ideal. Apparently, he is still poor, but instead of being an orphan, he is now the son of a prostitute in the slums, with seemingly no connection to the game system or the real world. How will Daisuke overcome this trial, and will he be able to return to the real world? If you enjoy GameLit and LitRPG light novels such as Sword Art Online, Solo Leveling, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, then you'll definitely enjoy this epic tale!
