Synopsis: Reeve Williams always felt more at home in vivid virtual reality than in drab real reality, partly as an escape from the very real embarrassment of her technically inept parents, Walter and Wanda. When Reeve’s parents give her a new total-immersion virtual reality system for her birthday, Reeve reluctantly agrees to show them what it’s like…just for a few minutes. But a mistake only her technophobe father would make leaves Reeve facing the prospect of spending months in the greatly accelerated, fantastically complex, brutally unforgiving game world. With her parents. Author's note (June 2nd, 2024; most recent revision update October 15th): I've started posting the final revisions for Book 1. I'll be doing this in batches over the next few weeks. Below, I'll indicate the progress of the revisions: Revisions currently complete: Chapter 1.1 through Chapter 10.2 (last updates posted October 15th) Once I've finished posting all the final revisions for Book 1, I'll begin posting Book 2. Thanks for your patience. Sorry for the wait! In the meantime, I've posted the first section of Book 2 as a teaser. If I ever decide to try to turn Parental Controls into an ebook, I won't do so in such a way that I'd need to take down what I've posted to Royal Road. Thanks for reading!
