Description

A 27-year-old American named Ryan was doing his usual morning run through a forest in the United States Midwest when he was attacked by a magical orb that transported him to another world. While in this other World, he finds himself captured by a tribe of Dark Elves that summoned him and another human. This other guy that was captured with Ryan, is a Japanese teen who goes by the name Hiro.Unfortunately for Ryan, Hiro is a delusional edgy otaku who believes he's the Main Character and thinks he can get away with anything.This just adds more of an obstacle for Ryan to overcome. And he's worried about what the Dark Elves are planning to do with them as they force them to kill monsters. Causing their bodies to absorb mana.After barely escaping with his life Ryan when a holy group known as the Divine Three, who are trying to rid the world of all subspecies, try to murder him. Then he gets chased by goblins into a Labyrinth. And worst of all, the mana from all the humans and monsters he had slayed has been affecting his body in weird ways as he begins to transform into a Dark (Female?!?) Elf with the extremely rare ability to heal anything.

From the author.

Hey, this is my first novel. I feel it's slower-paced, I think? Anyway, the MC is the focus for now. And we'll see how it goes from there. Thx, everyone!

Good stuff lots of smut, interesting world and characters ❤️ 💙 future looks promising 👌 👍 😀 hopefully we get a few thousand chapters to really flesh things out, only critique i have is that the chapters are somewhat short and i feel like some could be combined into single chapters instead of apparent halves, grammar has some issues here and there but overall keeps me enthralled without distractions 😀 keep up the good writing ✍️ champ 🏆

Let's start with what this story is. It's 2/3 story and about 1/3 erotica. There is also a big focus on the Gender Bender tag. If either of these bother you, I don't think this story is for you. For everyone else, I personally think this story is great. I eneded up blitzing though it these last couple of days and have genuinely loved it. I was initially reading it on another site as I didn't realize it was on RoyalRoad. But let's get into the details.
Style 4.5/5: I think the style is great. And having read a bunch of stuff on RoyalRoad, I think it sits at around a 4.5 relative to other stories on the site. The author's style is simple and clean. Nothing fancy, but effective. They don't use obscure vocabulary or overly flowery prose. The erotic scenes are well written and fun to read, which can be difficult to pull off. And overall, it's enjoyable to read. However, there is one huge issue with this story which is Grammar.
Grammar 3/5: This is the stories greatest downfall. If you have issues reading stories with grammar issues, you are not going to enjoy this story. It's not every sentence by any means, but it is frequent enough to detract from the reading experience. And to give the author credit, they have improved greatly. I sincerely believe a good and thorough edit of the whole story to just clean up the grammar would elevate the story significantly. Because this truly is a fun and enjoyable Story.
Story 4/5: This is a fun story. I will be leaving some spoilers for some spefic plot points that may influence if you want to read the story, but otherwise it's been great. I think the greatest accomplishment of it is the way the author transitions between erotica and story. It doesn't feel like one or the other takes over. The erotica enters the story when appropriate, stays for a chapter or two, and then lets the plot take over again. If there is any take away, I want to really congratulate the author on this achievement. The plot itself flows well and, while there

The premise is not bad and does have an interesting story line. Would like more side stories detailing what happened to the dark elves and goddesses perspectives rather than it being cut off mid way through. The later chapters currently deal with the MC struggling to accept changes mana did to him(her). Story partly feels inspired by the second skin series.

With the knowledge that the author is dealing with dyslexia/dysgraphia, I think they do an admirable job of not only telling the story, but getting better at it. The difference between initial and later chapters is noticeable.
Some people get fixated on the NSFW and Gender Bender elements of the story, and I don't see why. The MC initially struggles with the changes, but eventually comes to terms with it. The writing doesn't rub it in our faces, doesn't moralize, doesn't use the genderbender principle to dehumanize or abuse the character - it's a genuine personal development story. As for the "adult" part of the writing, anyone can skip it or just skim through it.
Other than that, I'll say that there are some quite fun ideas (not going to spoil anything, so go ahead and read the story), quite detailed worldbuilding, and apparent cosmic-level plot that seems to cast shadows onto the scene.
It's definitely not a two-dimensional story. Worth reading? Absolutely.

Ok, this story has both good things and bad things going on.
The good is that it’s a somewhat original concept, at least to me, and it’s not one of those stats heavy system stories.
Now the bad bits, and they are mainly about story flow and readability.
The author mentioned this is his first story so I hope they settle down a bit as the story progresses, the story is to mashed together so far, it needs to be paced a bit. I get that bits of “time” where nothing happens are glossed over to get to the next exciting bit but fill those out a bit more and the story will flow better.
Next, is that your editing is pretty bad. Looks like you are running spell check, but you have lots of properly spelled but incorrectly used words scattered through the story. The major offenders are using the wrong tense of the word or something like using except instead of accept. You also miss a lot of adverbs here and there. Basically, you should write, then wait a few days then edit it. You will likely catch those errors then.
You could ask why I care about word use when some would say the story is filler to support the sex scenes… well, why not. Even sex scenes shouldn’t make the reader stop and try to figure out why this or that word doesn’t make sense. 😋
Anyway, it’s a fun story, keep it up.

The writing style and character design, is what made me lose interest.
"MC does this. MC does that." Simple and short sentence structures and chapters. Sometimes the point of view suddenly changes mid-sentence, changing between 3rd person and 1st person and sometimes even the rare 2nd person POV, which threw me for a loop.
Lastly the "this is a stereotype character gone bad" approach was so forced, that the meta-joke backfires hard, turning the MC pointing out the bad behavior into a similar kind of jackass like the person he complains about.
Seriously what MC points at a young adult, possibly teenager, with very obvious mental problems and development issues, and says "This is why your family abandoned you.".

Overly lost in horny sauce
Might have potential if you want that or look past that (but also that is censored on RR bc it is so frequently horny which went over the 11% rule or whatever it is exactly so lmao), but it is very present and requires more suspension of disbelief because of things like:
Planet-sized busts that do not cause back pain
Much horny many wow
Lots of tropes.
Much else besides.

What can I say ? This story just has nothing going for it.
It’s not LitRPG, which means it’s not very addictive. Normally that would mean that the writing, the plot or the protagonist could save it, buuuuut…
The writing is terrible - if any of you have read the fanfic “Fantasy Realm”, it’s the exact same: 3rd person present tense the entire time, with no variation. It just feels wrong.
The protagonist is terrible as well, becoming a willing chess piece to the very goddesses who kidnapped, imprisoned and essentially mutated him without his consent, all for the reason of reviving the dead kid who was summoned with him and would not even be dead if it weren’t for said goddesses and was nothing but a brat and an annoyance the entire time he was alive.
Finally, there’s the plot, and from everything I wrote so far, I think you can guess where this is going. The plot, in my opinion, is atrocious, serving no reason and having nothing to lead up to it. This is basically just a story about Stockholm syndrome on steroids.
happy reading !

While the concept and summary of the story intrigued me, the writing style made me drop the story after just a few chapters. As far as I read it seemed to be generic Isekai slop, something I love :) But since I dropped it after just a few chapters, I won't comment deeper on the story itself.
The author is clearly sticking with it looking at the length of the story so props for that. And if they have improved their skills during the journey the earliest chapters could really do with a rewrite to draw readers in.
Below are some specifics.
As far as I read (ch. 4) the story is mostly correctly spelled and grammatically correct, but the writing lacks for lack of a better word good flow. With most sentences being quite short and abrupt and feeling very clinical in their descriptions.
Every line of dialogue is a lot of:
"bla bla bla" said/thought subject in adjective way.
Often descriptions are told as similes that take you out of the story.
"Then the orb started making a low bass sound. It was like a sound you would hear when your neighbor blasts a subwoofer and it could barely be muffled by the walls." Instead of something like "Then the orb started making a low bass sound. A loud thump he could feel resonating deep inside."
There are several jumps between different points of view. Sometimes even within the same segment.
There are several times when similar sounding but different words are confused (shutter/shudder etc.).
