- mortsllafRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Hi I am the first reviewer!
This book is kinda strange, all it is, is a person pressing a button, having the surroundings change then for some reason, it gets presed again.
Now there is some plot amazingly, there are some reaserchers! And we have been given a clue, one is tone-deaf! I have some idea of the plot, and a posible plot twist.
Um, bye... - MK bk-201Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is a fun story about a person going through different rooms each time he presses a red button, thats pretty much it, if anybody knows CHYOA its kinda like that, might not be for everyone. its also damn funny so i recommend you give it a read, lots of fun options and even the author dosent know when this story started to have lore but it has it, its also filled with completly random facts that may or may not be interesting, but curious nontheless.
Again it might not be for everyone.
The style and grammar are pretty well done, it was an intersting choice to use Icelandic as the "code" on some chapters, tho later it was changed to english.
The story is pretty much just chapter to chapter till its gets to the lore which while unexpected was pretty good and compelling, the author did not think about it from what he said, its also pretty funny and clever use of the paragraphs to increase the word count, such as repeating numbers, decks of cards, etc.
The characters were interesting and in some chapters did have some backstory and were not bland, were pretty funny and had fun interactions. - RedPineRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story is like a big red button. Should you push it? No. Do you want to push it? No. Do I recommend pushing the big red button? No. Are you going to push that button anyway? We both know the answer to that question.
There's not much else to say, so I'll make up my remaining wordcount with a compact spoiler. Kudos to the author for giving me the idea to do this.
Want me to say that number again? Because I totally can! It would absolutely help my word count out, and I’m slightly falling behind in that regard…
Here, you know what? I’ll repeat it, but I’ll minimize it in case you don’t want to sit through me reading it out again.

I had to do an advanced review to randomly slap 5 stars on everything, so here we go.
Style:
A bunch of random button-pressing, revolves around the sarcastic commentation from the narrator.
Story:
A bunch of random button-pressing, no story whatsoever. Just a bunch of random button-pressing.
Grammar:
A slip-up now and then, nothing much
Character:
The side characters are one-dimensional, and the narrator is lazy. I love it.

there is plot.
and then there is this story.
a monstrous amalgamation on epic proportions of both. made with the best parts of each.
i love it.
this story can realistically become a netflix series, a green light steam game, and an anime ova with how this amazing train rack of random is being channeled to a some what cohisive story - IQIRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Frankly, I started reading this book thinking it would be like "Ding"(I think that was the name) by Selkie. I thought it would just be a random series of weird rooms and random facts. Admittedly, I didn't pay attention to the tags.
Instead, there is actually an interesting somewhat interactive mystery. This is also the only 2nd person and/or interactive story that I have actually been invested in. - Cynical StrangerRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I will never forgive you for taking my glories bucket away. It may not be anything special, but it was mine. I even gave it a name. Ha? You want to know the name? Nope, you don't deserve to know her name. Yes, the bucket is a she and she was very beautiful.
Don't judge me, it is very lonely in the room. - black LeviathanRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5So this story is really inconventional and very different compared to other stories. It breaks down the 4th wall completely and the author constantly "talks" with the reader. It widened my horizons and broke shackles in my thoughts about stories have to be.
There are some interactions between researchers or something going on, adding a bit more context, but overall what I've read feels like an interesting mind game. Though I haven't read to far, because I think for this type of story reading too much at once is harmful to my enjoyment, I'm gonna read it from time to time, slowly disgesting and pondering about what I've read. - librarysmilesRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0An enjoyable eccentric read about pressing buttons
and spoiler tags
(og íslenskri tungu).
Almost every chapter includes at least one picture. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This story seems to take that saying as a personal challenge.
The question becomes: do you choose to press the red button? - AsvilokaRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0...but I kept reading it, so clearly it's doing something right. I'm honestly having a hard time thinking of anything to say about this story that coherently captures its essence. It's ... different.
A weird mix of first and second person, lots of images, a 'plot' that seems entirely random but with hints of deeper secrets.
I really don't know what to think. But I read it, and I'll probably come back and read more another time, so...
