Description

This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws.For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen. It seems nothing has changed much since the famed EDSA Revolution of 1987.The year is 2042. Philippines has reached economic growth comparable to South Korea in 2022. Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work".In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....

    You, my brother, are a brave man.
    My only real gripe is that the chapters seem a little too short.
    I dont know where you're going with the story, but I like what I see.

    I have read about the story with Japan before. I don't think Japan is OP, by any mean. One nation against one entire world with magic, the nation was also very dependent on the trades with other countries on Earth. America, for example, would be OP.
    I'm a Vietnamese, but I wouldn't write a story about my own nation. You sure are brave. People don't relate well to a story about a strange country.
    The chapters are way too short and the jumps of POV are quite disorienting. Don't constantly push foreign words into an English novel, it gets a bit annoying.
    Will update review when future chapters are released.
