Synopsis

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime.



As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response.



He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real.



Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.

Shameless review here. Greetings everyone. Path of War both is and isn't your typical adventure story. Arthur Bennet, our main protagonist, is a devout Christian. This alone is enough to tell you there will be quotes taken directly from the King James Version Bible. It's important to note from the outset that this isn't anime fan fiction. To be exact, it's not fan fiction at all. While the setting is based on the popular Naruto franchise, the story takes a sharp turn into a brutal survival tale. Once our main character participates in a groundbreaking VR experience offered by Elysium, a high-tech company, his excitement quickly fades as he discovers a horrifying truth: the pain within the simulation is agonizingly real, despite assurances of a light pain response. Now thrown into this virtual prison, he's going to try his best to escape by becoming the world's main villain. The story as a whole is crafted as a suspenseful narrative that explores the dark side of virtual reality as well as man's true evil nature. We see the main character grappling with this new world, forced to adapt and fight for survival in a world that's foreign to him. If you're looking for a lighthearted adventure, this story isn't for you. However, if you enjoy thrillers with a touch of science fiction and an anti-hero protagonist thrust into extraordinary circumstances, then this might be a book worth checking out. Just be prepared for excellent story-telling and multiple characters to help drive the plot. Last but not least, please, for what sanity is left in this world, read the preface!

It’s better than I expected. The first few chapters are a little rougher but I love the story so far This max reminds me of a more likable Jonathan and a overall better mc.

Waited till now to write this review. By far the best fiction I've read in a while. It's written well and I love the MC. Villain novels are my favorite since they don't incorporate oblivious MC's. This MC's cool, level-headed and doesn't make rash decision. Author literally wrote an amazing premise to keep the story rolling. Don't forget about us when you get famous Akito!

It's known that there are many fan fics about popular anime and movies. However, this stands above them all. Picturing the environment during an entire series of naruto is not a simple feat, and the development of characters are also stable. I suggest this to all anime fans, it's a new step towards greatness.

As someone desperate for good fiction on Webnovel, I can confidently say this hits every spot. It's a 10/10 story. The idea is fresh, the writing quality is top-notch and the MC has a layered character.

Mannn! I thought this was gonna be some typical Naruto transmigration story, but man, it's a long way from it. The book is actually really dark and cold, which definitely caught me off guard. I am still barely into the chapters, but I really love how the author molded the lead personality around the "survival of the fittest" mindset and completely changed his character. I look forward to seeing other characters, like Alex, Campbell, and others-what roles or powers they've inherited. Definitely planning to keep reading!
