Description
A humble civil servant suddenly finds himself in a new body. A body that is scarred, injured and delirious. Initially, he struggles to accept reality. But having lost his memories of his time on Earth, he trudges forward. He realised how impoverished and depressed the body's initial host is. This does not stop him. He will use the skills he learned from another world to modernise Westeros. Through, peaceful reform or violent revolutions. "I prefer violent revolutions because that breeds more chaos. And Chaos is a Ladder!"

- Michael ParkerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Quite a great read so far (chapter 18), I feel like the story has just started and there is so much room to expand with this premise. This story deserves more credit and views then it is getting. Hopefully this review helps! How could modern ways adapt in Westeros? The clash of ideals follows with Little Finger as the puppetmaster with him counting every copper.
Great story, we need more Game of Thrones fictions, keep up the great work author.
Probably a total 4.5/5 but the story needs a bit of a boost ;).
See how democracy shapes Westeros and the people rise as Little Finger reincarnated with the soul of a modern influential rides the wave to the top. Favorite character 100% did not deserve to die in season 8 like that...

Perhaps this is political comedy of such high brow, that I simply cannot comprehend? Or perhaps the character decisions need a lot of work?
Definitely an AU as much is either missed, made up or changed. Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with au's, it's just this doesn't make sense and thus suspension of disbelief is difficult.
The world building is off, which is saying something for a grrm fanfic, the characters make decisions that make no sense yet always workout against all logic, with the world pivoting on its axis to accommodate the foolishness of Pete, much like the civil service for someone important son?
Why is this lord sailing a dinghy by himself? why does he have thousands in wine but no one as staff not even a maid? Why why why? Why does someone who doesn't know him, of him, and without an intoduction suddenly take him into their confidences after maybe 4 lines of dialogue?
The idea is fun, but it feels forced and rail roaded with little consideration into truly how or why events would happen. Equally many reasonable answers could have been found to help flesh it out with a cursory wiki search.
Thr grammar, prose and flow isn't awful but it certainly isn't stand out.
Overall very poor but with work on the charachters and a lot more attention to detail it could be fun. If the author rewrites it I will definitely reread, a good first attempt and creative writing and I wish them the best. Story boarding it out and picking apart the charachters decisions might help tho, all the best.
Does improve as chapters go by, but personally it is a little tainted from the first chapter.
