Played into a Corner 1 by Nikolai Novikov
Played into a Corner — Book 1 is out now!
Nikolai Novikov — the author behind the hit Progression Fantasy series Nanomachines — returns with an all-new saga, and it starts today.
Played into a Corner throws readers straight into the chaotic life of a pro cheater who finally pushed things too far. After attempting to hack the game, he doesn’t just get banned — he nearly gets sentenced to life among the most dangerous criminals in the country. And instead of getting a second chance at freedom… he’s turned into entertainment for one extremely influential developer.
Grinding? Cultivation? “Working hard to improve yourself”?
Please. That’s for other players.
He’s always been the guy who finds the loopholes, breaks the rules, and gets away with it. Hard work? That’s not his style — and definitely not his plan now.
Why punch wooden mannequins for weeks to raise attributes?
Why follow the game’s intended path?
Why follow any rules at all?
When the entire system tells him to level up the “proper” way, he has only one response:
“Why work hard when you don’t have to?”
Smart. Sharp. Sarcastic. Anti-hero to the bone.
The new series begins today — and if you love LitRPG with grit, attitude and rule-breaking energy, this one is for you.
Book 1 — Played into a Corner — is available now!
