Storytelling through video games may seem unusual but it has increased in popularity over the years. The way that the author manages to explain, as in a walkthrough, the battles and the leveling up of the characters is truly amazing. Even non gamers, such as myself, can easily understand the narrative through game association.
These connections to video games are used as powerful instruments in constructing the narrative and the characters. Their lives revolve around power, mana, abilities and even spells. Gathering them will help the leading personages achieve a higher level.
Cultivation Online uses video-game as a mean to reconstruct a character who has been left blind and crippled at a very young age. The game will completely change his life for the better. Through cultivation, he will restore his body to perfect health and begin a whole new life, even abandoning his old name and adopting his game name, Yuan.
Will Yuan finally find the peace and love he longed for all his life? Will he find the strength to forgive his family? You can only find out by reading the book.
