Description

Without any previous indication, all the televisions, smartphones, and radios start broadcasting a message recorded by the government leaders of the world. In it, they explain a horrible tragedy that is about to befall us. Our earth will blend with what is considered to be the primary dimension after having been apart for an unknown amount of time. The merger will not only affect the world, but also the beings on it, and humanity must mingle with other species or die out. Everybody will need to determine the other-dimensional race to pick. The world leaders have known of this for many years and have tried preparing people by creating popular fiction, games, and movies. These are nothing more than guides of what is about to happen.

Edit: Book 1 is live on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited now, so I had to remove most of that. If you have kindle unlimited you can read the edited version for free there! Book two is still being released here.

Edit 2: The book garnered little interest here, making updating it something I've been doing less and less up to the point of not at all. However... book 2 is done, edited, and released in December. Book 3 is on my patreon and book 4 is on a temporary hiatus to be picked up again next year.

The only thing bad in this novel is that there's not enough chapters.

Overall, this story is great. I would recommend it for those trying something well done and outside the cliche. I have read thousands of stories and none were quite like this. Granted, if I don’t like a story much I’ll just stop reading and probably won’t leave a review. And this is the first review I have created here.
not sure what style score is? Is it ideas in the story? How the story flows? The world? Descriptions? I do like the world. And the story flows well. Cool ideas too.
good story. Is this where the world is supposed to go? Background story? Well, it’s good here too.
The grammar good, I say. Two hundred words long I have to have it says to write this review. I don’t want to write two hundred words with bad grammar! I like good grammar! I really do! You try reading some Asian stories with google translate and tell me you like bad grammar! The headache was horrible! It was really amazing! Like wow! I didn’t know I could feel pain from reading! That headache lasted a week! While I got used to weird grammar... was in a mental haze. Really, really amazing. If I was thinking straight at the time, I would have stopped. But, wow! Broke my grammar shackles! The painful way. This better be more than two hundred words. If someone wants me to remove the silly bits and just finish this right, I will. Just seemed like I touched upon everything necessary.
the characters are dynamic. Meaning they change. And it is mostly consistent. Which is good. People will change when you’re not looking. Consistency, but not too much consistency, you know?

Wow, quite the tale to read ! And you should read it, really.
The story focus on two brothers (friends, but they behave like brothers, with the banter and all) as their world and themselves transition into something else entierly.
It's well paced, and reading this felt like staying on the edge of a razor. Never truly at peace, sometimes close to total catastrophy, with a few times where I thought that at last things will get a bit better. Each element that I discovered made me think that the current problems are just the tip of the iceberg.
Travelling the world with our heroes, we follow the shift of paradigms that their lives go through, and I hope for their success with each chapter. The chapters hover between fights, travel, and sometimes a bit of discovery and world building. Some are clearely action packed and left me with a bated breath, other apparently more...quiet, just served to up the tension and suspens.
This permanent tension supports well the rapid bonds sometimes forming between characters. Fast friendships in times of need are quite a thing. The characters are fun to follow, the few recurring names easy to remember. Fun is quite the rare ressource, in this tense story of survival. That made the main cast my favorite characters, even if they still seem quite superficial at the moment. I know that they have quite the heavy past, it is hinted I think, but they never have time to talk about... I'll wait for it. Secondary characters a contrario are more developped in certain aspects. No time for psychanalysis in the end, so character developpement is adequetely adapted in consequence. Overall it is well balanced, fitting the pace of the story.
The grammar is clean, the style is easy to read and really bring the atmosphere in the book. Read what I said upstairs, it reflect directly the author's style.
A good read, a really good work from the author. The easy way would be to say keep it up, but more than that thank you for sharing your work. It was a blast

It's not a bad story, but it's also not good IMO. I just found it really mediocre. The tension doesn't really let off or change much, so it kind of just becomes background noise at some point, which means there is not much emotion to the story. I was hoping for some stats or more gamelit aspects, but couldn't push through to see if they were coming.
I also really don't like children being a big part of the story, especially not when they have to be babysit, so your mileage may vary here. I found some of the decisions being made to be unrealistic - orders to choose goblin being taken seriously, MCs not picking up or using weapons, despite picking them up at a certain point.
If you are really running dry on stories, or you prefer a character interaction and suspense focus you might want to give it a shot. It was a miss for me.
