Description

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Bernard's life wasn't particularly great. Living on the razor's edge of poverty isn't a fun place to be. Being forced to compete for jobs that you are overqualified for, against others that are often just as overqualified, was almost humiliating. There had been plenty of times where he wished his luck was better, that he could stumble onto an opportunity that would allow him to finally succeed in life.

Change and opportunity is rarely easy though, particularly if the change in question is a drastic alteration to the world as he knew it. When his chance finally arrived he learned just how true that old adage could be.

Be careful what you wish for.

Also, monkeys are evil.

Excellent grammar, punctuation and general writing skills.
I wish more stories on RR were at this level of technical expertise.
The first chapter is a bit strange but it does introduce the main premises of the story quite well.
The MC is likeable, even though he started out as a bit of a wimp, he then slowly gains momentum once he finds his feet after being snatched from his original urban environment.
The monsters are believable so far and the world's new mechanics are reasonable for the causes and effects of the world change.
Good pacing and no over-the-top abilities or powers in the story so far.
The story appeals to me but something is missing for me to be able to give it 5 stars. Hopefully as the story progresses, it will gain some of what it is missing now.
Recommended to read so far as it shows promise.
