I'm reading Shadowtrap. It's a really neat concept with okay execution. It's a sci-fi/fantasy where they invent a fully immersive VR and send a fantasy game VR championship Alpha team in to test the system. Mayhem ensues. I say the book is only okay because the sections involving the team traveling are completely uninteresting, and some other parts feel repetitive. That said, it's worth finishing so far, and it has entertained me.

Doesn't look like an Japanese Lightnovel to me. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmm, idk what that is. I saw this post on Everything and thought the community was for light novels, as in novels that are light reading. My mistake.

No worries. The term "light novel" usually refers to a type of "popular literature novel native to Japan" to steal the definition from Wikipedia. I highly recommend giving them a try if you interested in light reading material. They are mostly very entertaining even if my weekly reviews here sound as if I'm only picking on them ;)
