Description
Rich's life sucks. He lives in a dystopia, His father's an abusive creep, his mother's up to some shady stuff, and he's pretty sure he's going to die a virgin.
He can't do much about the first few problems, but a new darknet game might give him a shot at getting laid. But even the most well-laid plans go astray, and he ends up with way, way more than he bargained for. He gains a character with the rarest of all races: Dragon.
But it's a two-way street, and strange occurances and problems soon have Rich wondering if this is truly a game, or something far more sinister...

- comandergummybearRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I love Andrews Genarica stories, and let me tell you, they are anything but genaric. Although this story apears to be the prequal to Threadbare and Small Medium: Big trouble, I recomend starting with Threadbear. The author has a penchant for puns and an affinity for aliteration that keeps me coming back for more.
I hope you all have as much fun reading them as I did! - Consumer of Forbidden TextsRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0As of chapter XX or 20.
Style:
The style of writing is the same quality as it was in all previous books, which is to say, absolutely captivating. Every word has a purpose, and each chapter hooks you in tightly, that you cannot possibly stop reading.
Story:
Again, as it has been throughout all previous fictions, incredible. Whenever Andrew writes, you can be sure that every action and thought has a consequence, and may very well lead to the next big story arc. Very well written, and lovely to read.
Grammar:
The grammar, being the most difficult thing to keep up-to-standards in most books, due to typos and many other reasons, is extremely good. It is not perect, as mistakes are inevitable, however, this book is as close as humanly possible to being perfect, grammar wise.
Characters:
The characters in this story all act consistently, unless Andrew wants them to. The main character's thoughts and actions are not always correct, and even though, due to his unique situation, he has the potential to be really powerful, the writer has not made him overpowered. That, I can respect. Dialogue feels natural, and everything is easy to read.
I never get bored when reading this, and never skip any parts of the chapters.
If you are looking for a gem, HERE IT IS! - Fred FredsonRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0You just can't wait for the next chapter with this. This has basically everything. A well though out story that intermeshes nicely with Threadbare and Small Medium, Natural characters that actually act like human beings instead of cardboard copies and an skill system that actually makes sense and is well though out. What can you want more?
- KaeleinRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0After Threadbare and Small Medium, the third installment set in (and out!) of Generica.
Style and world building are amazing.
Characters are likeable and credible.
Jokes and puns are good and well done.
What's not to like? - SummercatRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Look I'll be honest.
This is a litrpg semi-coming of age story about two kids who are facing troubles and tribulations in their lives. One just happens to be a dragon.
I love 'getting used to nonhuman body' stories, and this one has some.decent character growth.
Also I bought the entire thing on Amazon as soon as I saw it was available and have no regrets
I don't often write reviews but when I do it's something I think is worth reading. - ZamidahRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Starts off very dark in the first chapters, but as the MCs life improves in various ways, hints of light start to shine through. Packed with conflict both real and virtual this Prequel to Threadbare and A Small Medium at Large provides explanations to many mysteries that were hinted at, while raising many more. I reccomend reading the other two stories first, as this will spoil some of the intrigue. Also, the second MC is a baby dragon, and his alien perspective continues to delight.
- askeron32Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0you kind of need the background of the previous two novels, to get all the good nuances of this amazing world that was set up here. I liked the first one a lot, the 2nd was good but not so much but hell this one makes it up twofold.
Kimi no Nawa vibe but with a dragon and a helpless geek in a little dystopian future earth across unrecognized realities, done well, i can only recommend to give this serious a go. I wonder if the cuteness aspects of the previous ones will show up somewhere later in this part too. Well it is kinda here. In a prideful dragon hatchling way. - AcerbicRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.518 chapters "review" if its worth anything.
I like this novel, but the reason is a bit odd. Its not for the "main dish" - MC fantasy adventures, we don't see much of it and the things we see are tainted by some cringy System puns; I like this novel and want to read more of it for stage background, the dystopian future world.
Its looks very unique, and I can't wait to learn more about it, even by glimpses given by characters.
Secondary, the stats system - attrbutes-pool-defence - is original, I've never seen this one before, and I must say I like it. - Waffle(est)Royal Road★★★★ 3.5Review as of chapter 12.
So the MCs life does not _properly_ suck unless he lives in North Korea and is the son of some violent and abusive parents who also happen to be dissidents, is that kid that the entire scool and half the teachers bullies, is on 23(ish) govenment watch lists.. , oh and as if 1984 is weaksauce, there is proper instruciton on surveilance to be had here! Honestly it feels kind of over the top and hard to relate to. Like xianxia novels tend to spend most of volume 1 driving the MC to the ground to artificially prolong the following growth ark.
Ok, with the MC taken out back for proper "instruction" lets move on. The character interactions and such are quite detailed and believeable, If this is the standard the previous novels have met them Ive definitely been missing out (havent read Threadbare yet).
There is some quite technical detail here and I kept feeling that something is off. The MC should be, at minimum, somewhat competent around network equipment given that he has got significant programming experience, but some of the terms used seem a bit off. For example location of the _new_ game is repeatedly referred to as a "port", this feels off, a "port" is usually used to distinguish different applications running on a machine that an incoming network packet might be addressed to but it does not (usually, lets not delve into NAT mid review) identify the host.
Also, please stop channeling "The Matrix", it is cheezy and as about the accurate as that new musical sonification craze where people claim they have uncovered the sound of some inaudible event or object. In short it is not accurate at all.
"And now he looked at a world through the lens of a coder. The patterns in the sky, the pillars, the dragon itself... they were all numbers and letters, rippling and surging together." ... "Rich saw the code jumble and mix,".
Continuing on.. you would not show the user plain "error" as a message.. almost ever. You could how Error/warning with some extr - Redeyes EclipseRoyal Road★★★ 3.0This story is highly ridiculous with the mc morality and hunger for power not allowing him to do what ever it took to achieve his goals always thinking not going let a great evil out while being a cultist. I don't feel sympathy for how pathetic the mc was during the entirety instead of Harding up all he did was cry pure pathetic. I have no clue why the author wanted to write this novel and it's obvious that he has giving up on it and I recommended a total rewrite.
