  As of chapter 4.0
  A really good start to the story, if the author can keep up the quality of storytelling, this should be one of the good ones..
  well written, only minor errors, so small that you dont notice good set up so far
  keep it up

  Very well written slice of life "clueless hero" adventure novel.
  *Warning though, it has some INCREDIBLY dark themes that are FREQUENTLY at the forefront of the story. Be wary if sexual assault is a trigger for you.

  Great story with a unique style. Although the Author needs to just focus on writing and ignore the comments.

  This is awesome. Its satire on the level of the best southpark episodes, the ones that offend and amuse in equal measure. I really like the split stories. Sure, they slow things down a bit, but like everyone who has actually read the story knows, it's two separate stories, ones a dark fantasy, the other a light gamelit. The characters are well written, and the many viewpoints allow the author to create a vibrant, if depraved world, without needing the infodumps that so offend most readers. If having to wait a couple extra days for the story to advance is too much for you, wait till the end or just read something else.

  I was fishing this past weekend on Lake St. Clair getting ready for our last Elite Series event of the season when something happened that I’ll never forget. It started with my catching an average smallmouth bass on a drop shot. It ended with a massive predator showing me what life is really like in the water.
  After I caught that first fish, I thought I’d be able to catch several others. St. Clair has a huge population of smallies and they tend to school at this time of the year. With that in mind, I immediately tossed my plastic back into the same spot.
  Nothing happened. My bite went dead. That told me something was going on, something like a big musky had moved into the area. The lake is full of those things, too. When they move in the smallmouth move out. Nevertheless, I continued to cast and fish.
  Sure enough, a few casts later a fish grabbed my plastic. It broke me off. I never saw it.  On my next cast I had another bite. This one shook loose. Once again, I didn’t see it. I guessed it was a musky.
  I called a guy over — he looked like a musky specialist and was in the area — to see if he could catch it. Despite his best efforts with a bait that looked like a Helicopter Lure only 10 times bigger, he couldn’t get a rise. (Just as a side note: These guys are serious. They paint the props on their big motors with florescent paint. They think that attracts the big ones.)
  After a while, he gave up; I went back to smallmouth fishing. After a half-dozen casts I caught one that weighed about 3 pounds. But before I could get it to the boat the musky we had been hunting grabbed it and headed for deep water. I pulled. She pulled. We pulled.
  Finally that darn fish jumped up, almost perfectly vertical, right in front of the boat. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. She was at least 50 inches long and she had my smallmouth most of the way down her throat. That didn’t stop her from spitting it back at me, however, and then swimming away.
  When I got my smallie into the boat I

  I've read to A12.1: Carl Encounters Reality
  I've really enjoyed reading this story. It's definitely got a different spin on it and I love the fatherly (sometimes blind) personality that Carl has. There are times where the persona shifts are a little jarring for me as it seems like almost too much time has passed before it goes back and starts a sequence over by from a different POV, but I still enjoy the experience and the story telling. I do think there are some spots that can be smoothed over a bit and some transitions to keep clarity but I'm having fun as a reader and look forward to where this is going. Keep it up!

  Spoiler: Spoiler
  A good idea taken too far for the sake of comedy. The premise is interesting but the only coherent line of thought in the world building and character creation seems to be taking everything to an illogical extreme. The author claims this is a work of parody and yet the way I see it bad writing on purpose reads much the same as bad writing on accident.

  i like the concept   but to rehash the same view after each step of the way is just too much  . Sorry but by the time I got to the Trap chapters I bail. I do try to read all stories to the end since the writers  put thier heart and soul in thier writings, but this time i just can't .

  The initial idea of the novel was interesting enough, if a slightly overused genre. Did not notice anything off-putting about the grammar overall it is pleasant to read. However, the pace the author has set for the history is super slow.
  Carl walks into a town, then has a one-minute not-talk with the gatekeeper, asks for directions to the same gatekeeper, then confirm the directions with a blind old woman by the gate, then causes some passerby to drop their stuff because they were startled by his “aura”. Read the same thing happens, from the point of view of every minor side character involved (and not really involved) in the scene, along with many things that does not seems to be important to the overall history.
  Gone past that? Good, now you have a world where the MC is oblivious to everything around him, thinking it is still a game. Have in almost every chapter about rape/slavery and a society that thinks its fine to have women treated as sex slaves, and women who thinks that it is a good thing and those who does not are the ones with problems.
  Nops, not for me, really. I do like dark novels, but this one has gone over and above what I can comfortably read.
