All Comments on 'Gamer Goddess Ch. 01'

Insanely good story

I hate that I have to do this anonymously, but for reasons I can't go into, that's how has to be.

I've been reading your wonderful stories chronologically and I know from your generous writing tips how feedback matters to you, as it should. So I'd like to say how truly impressed I am by the work you put into your Literotica content. Perfectly paced character development, superbly crafted narrative arcs and a real sense of hinterland and back story to every tale.

And here's the real testament to your skill; the fact that you give each story room to breathe, enough space to allow your readers' imagination do some of the heavy lifting and in so doing allow them to truly engage with every aspect - whatever the genre - of your tales.

I hope these comments are received as intended; a small hat tip to an admired artist.

Thank you.

Nice job. I thought your character development progressed smoothly.

Glad I found this story again. Such a great read. Loved how you subtly built the characters. Sheri was amazing. Great plot twist near the end with their histories. Instant favorite.

What a great story. Hooked from the opening. BardnotBard

I should have gone to bed an hour ago... I cannot stop reading!!

Wow.

I understand why this is top rated. I loved every minute. Thanks! I am looking forward to the next part

I'm no gamer, but as a nerd / geek I understand what's happening. And I LOVE the tease. Very well written. Thankyou.

Great story! Such compelling characters. I hope they make it through the obstacles ahead.

A beautiful building romance.

Wonderful story!

Not a gamer but your glossary made it understandable, really enjoying the story so far

Absolutely love this story. Wish I could score it higher than 5.

Never been a great one for gaming so despite the initial glossary I was lost at times. Even so I can see what I hope is a great love story coming out of this, especially towards the end.

Okay. I am not in to boy/girl stories. Mostly find them a complete turn off, I only gave it a go as it was based around gaming, and I intended chewing you out about gamer girls mainly being boys faking (which is possibly true, but this one isn't).

That said this was beautiful.

Funny, sad, inspiring, well written.

It reminded me of someone I have never met and that brought tears to my eyes. Not something I do often.

I applaud you.

As a MMO player, I really liked the environment and the characters grew on me. For me, wondering if either of them were going to be something other than what they seemed was a major reason to like it. Once it became clear that both were since, the loyalty of the family and the buddies made me continue to care.

Aside from levels not working like that in Diablo 3, it was decent.

The game only really starts once you hit max level and can start grinding for gear.

Even soloing, a top player can max their level in a matter of hours.

Or do it in 5 minutes with the help of a buddy.

So nobody would be impressed by someone being higher level. Everyone hits max level too quickly for that.

As a gamer, Thank You. As another gamer said, you managed to capture our culture and loyalty to each other. It's good to see us in a different light than usual.

Very well done.

Helping the female lead work through trauma, also well done. It was thoughtful and moving.

Thank you. I wish you had more stories like it.

4 stars, only because I found the gaming bit a little boring. But I got though it, and now things are warming up. As usual though well written.

It’s quite a nice read. I’m looking forward to the next chapters!

her being a noob is kind of overemphasized, and it's hard to see how they get from "friends with benefits" to "together" so quickly. One second it's "show me your tits" and the next its "I love you" and in a legitimate, non-heat of the moment type, way??

I like how you surprise the reader, however I'm not sure if your gamer grrrlll is a consistent character. You may want to move a little slower with trust issues. In any case, you tell a good story, Tall.

Better constructed than most of your other stories. Not that they are junk or anything, just that this one is better.

The only negative is the trope is a bit hackneyed. But it is better than I could write.

This story could be a novel of its own ....after 2 years and still one of fav.

Hey, it's me again - the anonymous comment from Jan 27. Two and a half years after I read this story for the first time... Shit, I still can't believe how good it is. Thank god you tagged it as exhibition, or I never would have found one of the best love stories out there. Really, I can't begin to tell you how much I love this story. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world.

I've played WoW for 10 years, and was a gamer long before I started that game. I've read all sorts of stories where gaming was a core part. Unlike most of them, this captures the world we play in perfectly. In ways that a non-gamer wouldn't get, MMORPGs are about the people we play with. This relationship echos that world, and even if I hadn't invested in these characters more intensely than almost any I have ever met in books, this would rate five starts just for how well it shows our subculture. Having said that, invest I did. Reading about the trauma and it's impact was incredibly moving, far more than I would have expected. I hope you write more like this,

Thank you.

I can't remember how many times I've reread this series. It's just that good. For some stories, 5 stars is not enough. This is one of those.

Nthusiastic

This has to be the first time I have ever gotten emotionally invested in an erotica character. Well done!

The first time I read this story was two years ago, and believe me, I've read a lot of stories since then, erotic and otherwise. This is still at the top of the list. There ain't never been a story like this, and I doubt there'll ever be another one like it. Fantastic work, if I could give you more stars than 5, I would.

A Legendary Gem!

Seriously, a very fun story with convincing dialogue and genuine characters. Not looking forward to the 'bumps', been there, done that, didn't survive the hardcore mode. That said, I'm hoping you'll write endings better than RL, the opening act certainly blows away anything from this side of the screen!

Nice scenario. I'm not a Diablo person, more of a WOW guy, but it all works. We've all listened to gamer girls and fantasized about how they look- seems like almost every female voice you hear sounds sexy. The skyping is fun- I look forward to the next parts of the story.

Huge fan of Diablo. Spent endless hours playing Diablo 3. Lost way to many hardcore characte. Surprised to find a story with Diablo 3 allover it and skype sex ontop of that. Just cause i knew everything that was going on made me love this even more. 2 Thums up keep up the good work. Need more ;)

I've read a few stories on here over the years, but so far this is my favorite. I really enjoy how down to earth and slightly geeky it is, resonates with me. Very good read so far, moving on to chapter two!

Take it easy on the noobs. We all had to start someplace. ;-)

Sign me Horsa -- CB138, Total Levels 2666 and still climbing.

I was literally going through the entire database here to find some shit story I saw a while back, when I came across this. A much better find to be sure, making that effort worth it. Please keep it up matey, not enough good stories like this as far as I'm concerned, real quality.

Hardcore characters cannot come back to life, your account is deleted and all progress as well as real money spent is lost. Not sure about this game but in runescape, irons and hardcore irons cant trade anything except bonds

Hardcore characters are mortal so you can't resurrected him when he dies!

Very well written. I'm what you call the "neckbeard". Haha... Except, I have my own place, don't live with mom. lol

I'm not a game player (I never had enough quarters, asteroids, pacman.) The gamers language not a problem. A good story will always be a joy to read. I started reading on my tv, moved to the tablet, I'm trying to keep up with tech, think this story will help.

I love this author's work, and finally worked my way through his many tales until I got to this one. I love the gamer twist and the 'damaged goods' tangent as well. He really knows how to spin a yarn, as well as get down and dirty with the sex. The best stories, like this one (I'm sure) will have the best of each. Keep on writing Sir!

Really enjoying this story. Much better than your cabin story, no offense. I actually know people like this in rl, and the story is well written.

Sorry it's taken me so long to find this. It's really good. Now I've got to read the rest.

I have read hundreds of stories over the past few years and this is still the one that I think about when I ponder the best stories of literotica. Thank you for this.

This is a fantastic piece of writing, I have read well over a thousand pieces

of fiction on this site and can and will happily state that this is a fantastic tale

so far. I will comment further after I have read the next chapter.

Only story I have ever commented on or rated, which should tell

you much I rate it.

That is one of the best stories, I have read on literotica. So well written. A lot of people could learn from your writing style.

First ,you had my curiosity… but now you have my attention. Keep up the good work

I can't believe how close to RL this story is and now I'm embarrassed that I've said this..........you were listening to my skype, weren't you?

As a gamer, and something of a writer myself, I have to say this is one of your best pieces. Very well done, for whatever value one person's opinion has. :)

That was awesome. I have only read this chapter so far but that was great! As a nerd and big gamer the story touch a little fetish of mine but the way you write I simply adore.

Thank you.

Writing is skillful, but find that the writer is a typical male chauvinistic egoist. In his stories the character is allowed to screw his wife's girlfriend in front of her, but the girlfriend not allowed the same with other guys.

the game chat is a bit hard to get to grips with.

(and i am a gamer used to that style of chat)

it's only @ page 2 or 3 that as a reader you start to appreciate the foundations for the story that the earlier pages provide .

by the time you finish the chapter , its obvious the story could/would not work without it

the Author has created something very,very special here . one of the most captivating storys on Literotica ,

it's one of those storys that could easy be published

if it was fleshed out / extended .

as is , it's on my all time top5 of storys i have seen here.

Very nice story, or at least the start of one. The characters and their backgrounds are very solid and believable (well, for porn anyway, lol). I've never played Diablo 3. I was going to buy it on release but then I started reading about all the problems they had at the start and I was turned off and I never got around to it in the end. You've inspired me to give it a go, I imagine it's available on budget release now :)

If I had to suggest one area for improvement (which I always try to do) it would be that the narrative through the first half of the story is a bit wooden. Just lots of details about Diablo then some dialogue between the two protagonists. It would have liked to know a bit more about what Steve was thinking as their relationship developed. Maybe have a scene where he was somewhere other than at his PC. I understand that you wanted to keep both their backgrounds murky for a while, which is fine, but it was quite hard work to be interested in his character because nothing was really offered for four pages.

Anyway, that one small thing aside, great work. :)

But I'm very glad I gave this a shot. Excellent writing, good compelling storyline. Best writing I've seen here yet. I'm an avid reader and this really is as good as most and better than some print books I've read. If the rest of the series is this good you've got a new fan.

I've read many of your stories and enjoyed them all. This one struck a chord that I didn't know I had. Exceptional. Thank you.

I game myself though i play different types of games - COD Ghosts is my current favourite. I live in UK and I use the XBOX360 to talk to my sons online from Ireland where they live. So it is a different kind of experience. I am also a much older gamer (58) I read and read and totally enjoyed your story, Sheri seems gorgeous, delicate, and obviously fragile and the main character likewise.

What I liked most was the reality of the story, these could be two very real people

Thank you, good story I totally enjoyed

Ok like everyone else I came here looking for something I could get hard and fantazise about...but...wooow; just woow. I was pulled in from the first word and that's something rare to find on this site. There are some others but not all of them can pull me and hold me to every word, every interaction like your story here. In fact i think i found a new favorite writer on here. I'd like to say thank you for sharing this!! Now pardon me while I stall getting ready for work by finding and starting chapter 2

-ShadowSaber

i usually come here looking for a different type of story, but i gave it a go and was very pleasantly surprised. surprised enough to make my first comment. i really liked this story, all 3 parts. i think i preferred the first 2 parts but i still rate the 3rd part 4 out of 5.

great writing. thanks for the story

The Gamer Goddess is my favorite series on Lit. Love the characters and it tells an awesome story.

But this story was a fun read. Thanks for sharing.

NT

At first, I never thought the story will go like this. The 'twist' make it even more exciting! I love it! ♥

I am not used to reading a good gaming flow, and a good story all at once. I am really glad there are more chapters to read! Keep it up! /Cough...

I liked most of this story - by which I mean that I actively enjoyed the content, rather than stuck with it during writing between enjoyable scenes. Great concept and good execution.

I just finished the first chapter, and I'm hooked. Damn fine writing.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

One of the absolute best stories on the site.

I wasn't expecting it to be so amazing. This really is great work. Keep it up man, you could go places with this kind of writing.

Just Want To Say I've Been Reading On This Site For 7+ Years And Never Once Felt Like A Story Was Worth Me Commenting. But You Sir Are An Extremely Good Author Of Adult Fiction I've Read Published Books That Are No Where Near As Good As This. Also I'd Like To Say After A 4+ Hour Marathon Reading Session And Staying Up Till 3Am Which Is Also A First For Me That This Is The Best Story That I Have Ever Read Other Than Actual Published Works And After Finishing All 3 Chapters. This Has Gotten Me Extremely Interested In Looking Into RLeading More Gamer Stories And Finally This Story Has Gotten Me To Want To Play Diablo 3 Again And I Haven't Played Since About 2 Months After It Released So Thank You For A Wonderful Story Far Above My Expectations Of This site

but I'm glad I read it! I thought at first I'd get lost in the sea of acronyms, but it picked up and rolled nicely. I look forward to reading the rest...

More comments after I read the whole thing. I'm a gaming chick, so enjoying this mightily. I'm very drawn in.

Ok, so that seems story of Valley girlish but this has been an awesome story...

A beautiful look at the positive side of the web's anonymity...

Though the "damage" to them both kind of came late, in truth, it makes for a better story since it's background rather than the actual story...

Can't wait for more...

It's been quite enjoyable so far. I like the words you use. They don't feel forced or overthought. Bravo, writer.

I didn't think I would enjoy this story, not being a gamer myself. Now I am pulling for Cherry and Ace! Gotta read more!

The best work on the net

I loved hearing terms and stuff that is actually used by players. Great immersion.

Awesome story that i overlooked for too long. I am glad i finally started this because i will definitely finish it today.

Brilliant piece of writing mixing the fun of gaming into the story. Looking forward to getting into reading chapters 2 and 3 :)

And screw you for keeping me up all night.

tXtALLtALES YOUR top notch writer I 've read many stories here but since I found your @ illustrated love I try to read all your stories if topic is of interest. This one is I think as this progresses it will only get better never played diablo but have other games.you have a way of getting the reader into the writing keep up the great works

Dude I love your stories! I've been a Diablo player since the original came out. This story is absolutely great.

Seriously dude, I have read most of your story series and most of them are amazing. I'm in Dallas as well, we need to hook you up with a publisher.

You deserve a prize for making me care about a crazy man-hating chick in a story about gaming. Well-played, sir!

You are a real pleasure to read.

Your grasp of D3 is flawless, and I was quickly drawn in by the accuracy of the terminology, as it is obvious you've played Diablo quite extensively, and recently, as well. I really felt a connection to the characters; I know a story on Literotica is good when I find myself unwilling to think of it in a purely sexual way, and that's not a common occurrence for me. You are a truly talented writer, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

I'm truly amazed at the depth you've managed to capture in this story. Best story that I have read on here and the only one I've ever commented on.

That was unreal! Thanks!!!

so real, hopeful and well written. thank you.

This is very different from anything I've read here and the gaming is perfect too.

They're likeable which is nice. Great stuff!

Maybe the only writer I've found with this much personality in all the characters. Feels less like reading the usual stuff on here and more like an actual novel. 10 out of 5, good enough for me to write something for the first time after 6 or 7 years on here.

You are one of my favorite authors here, but I really think you outdid yourself on this one. I could try and list why it pleased me, but I doubt I could do it justice. Awesome. Exceptional. Thanks!

Was a little curious at the start with the little dictionary of terms, but loving it by the end.

TENOUTTATEN.

A frequent for about 6 years now I have never felt the NEED to comment on any story. This story is masterfully done. You have managed to create an emotional connection I haven't seen outside of fantasy epics. Looking forward to reading the others.

This story is one of the better written ones I have seen on LitE. Thanks for writing and sharing it! I enjoyed the lead up to the details and the pace at which everything is unfolding.

specifically Taming of the Shrew where the anti-hero launches into a huge monologue built out of very technical falconry jargon. Bill's audience wouldn't have understood more than half of it, a modern audience doesn't stand a snowball in Hell's chance, but the passion and the flow of the play make the meaning clear. Same here; it's almost like abstract painting - the game jargon conveys the emotional meaning even if the reader doesn't have the contextual meaning. Bloody, bloody clever. And a very fine bit of writing - if I have any criticism it's that it's too short; you could have afforded to take a bit more time and colour in the background a bit.

The only problem with this story is that, as a new reader on Literotica, I now have the bar set very, very high...

Thank you for a peak into a game I don't play, and a story and characters worth knowing.

Is hitting the last page and freaking out because you think it's over. Another terrific story in a long line of excellent writing Tx. Excuse me, I've got to go load up Ch. 02. :)

Outstanding. Looking forward to reading the rest.

First comment after many years of lurking. I think this is a great story for the non-gaming types and exception for those that do play D3. The game is very important to both of their lives and the excellent, detailed (and correct) treatment of what they're doing in game, and how they're doing it, makes it impeccably real.

Hats off to the author.

You are wrong to suggest that a non-gamer would not enjoy this story ,I loved it .

I hate snow and ice but still enjoy MugsyB's ice hockey stories .

Keep up the good work .

I don't think I've ever seen a story here that writes both gaming and characters so convincingly. And a great balance of sexiness and romantic progression, too. I'm most impressed.
