Quantum Hughes' life is stuck on repeat. While trapped in The Loop, a virtual entertainment dreamworld, he struggles to free himself from a glitch that forces him to re-live the same day over and over. Everything changes after Quantum receives a mysterious message from a woman named Frances Euphoria, the first human player he has made contact with in years. Once Frances appears, members of the Reapers, a murder guild, begin surfacing in The Loop, hoping to capture Quantum, or worse - kill him. To further complicate matters, The Loop itself is doing everything it can to stop Quantum from escaping. With time running out, will Quantum break free from The Loop before he's captured or killed by the Reapers? Who is Frances Euphoria, and what does she actually know about how long Quantum has been trapped in the virtual dreamworld? The thin line between dream and reality is pixelated.

This book combines two themes that I love - being trapped inside a video game and repeating the same day over and over again. Quantum, our hero, wakes up each morning and faces the same set of circumstances, until he inevitably dies and wakes up to repeat the process. It's similar to returning to the same save point over and over again, and he exists in a virtual world that's a violent gun filled steampunk styled place. It's gritty and dark, and soon Quantum begins to notice minor differences and anomalies, which help to lead him to search for a way to escape this world by logging out.Harmon Cooper's writing is very well edited without spelling or grammatical errors. The tone of the book is dark and violent, and his writing style emphasizes this with crass terms as well as gaming slang. Since this is a PvP (player vs player) world, there are assassins and killers lurking around every corner, with lots of battles, weapons, and bloodshed. The story grips you immediately and pulls you in, and the adventure and excitement never stop. The characters are well developed, and we learn about them and about the game system itself as our hero does. The book contains a complete story, so you aren't left hanging in the middle of a plotline at the end, but it leaves you with the sense that there are more tales to tell in the larger world of the characters and encourages you to continue the journey with them in the next novel.

The Feedback Loop Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Harmon Cooper Jeff Hays Boycott Books Books Reviews
Finished "Feedback Loop" by Harmon Cooper. I'd rate it 7/10, and an overall fun ride. The pacing was well done, and the world is unique and solidly built. No "level up" or "crafting systems" but this plot line doesn't need em. I found the characters deep and the tragedies sorrowful. Interaction is a little stilted, but its supposed to be a person talking to NPC's without ultra-evolved AI guiding their interactions so it works.
My biggest issue was the MC's personality, but would recommend this book to someone who is looking for a more in depth read.
SPOILER ALERT
I didn't find the MC particularly relate-able, and it was difficult to get into his brain. Granted he's slowly going mad after being trapped in groundhog day, but at the same time it just feels like rage and alcoholism.
The "big reveal" of Dolly, was too obvious and made the reader feel like he was waaayyyy smarter than the MC, and had the inverse reaction of distancing us even further. That being said, I did enjoy the interactions between her and the MC; I look forward to seeing more.
The plot began to get a little existential and abstract which was at times cool, asking the reader the big questions about sanity. At other times it became tedious with the MC repeatedly asking questions and Frances not answering them. If you want to leave us in the dark that's fine, but beating us over the head with the questions we "should be asking" in attempt to guide our thoughts is jarring. Particularly when you have no intention of answering them.
I enjoy the discovery of "what happened," and "who done it" but the way the MC is going around asking all the wrong questions and not caring about the big ones is mildly irritating. I'm sure some of these will be answered in later novels, but take care that the reader doesn't wander off waiting for them. Personally, I've begin book 2 and almost halfway through I'm finding it harder and harder to stay involved.
Harmon Cooper's trilogy on virtual gaming begins here (although there is a 4th book out also by the time of this review).
Note I received an advance reader copy from the author in exchange for a review.
The concept for the storyline is farfetched, but the play inside the game is believable. The setting is similar to that of Sin City (Fred Miller comic series), and has the slang lingo from the 50's and 60's ratcheted up to a high degree. Characters are rather one-dimensional at the beginning, but continue to expose their more complicated layers as the story moves along at a repetitive but steady pace.
A nice walk through gritty virtual reality, with enough descriptive detail to keep it very entertaining. Kept my interest steadily increasing until the conclusion, with an unexpected conclusion. Toss in a few adult themes and you have Cooper at his best here, leading you into his next series (Life is a Beautiful Thing) without you even knowing it.
