So, I see this story with 1.4k pages and obviously click it without reading the synopsis. The first chapter is some kind of glossary, that's fine, skippable.
Prologue is really short but I take that as setting the scene. Move on to chapter one, looking good, love me some litRPG. Go on to chapter two, suddenly there are new characters and no longer any litRPG elements???
By chapter five I am having doubts given none of the prior characters have returned and it is scarcely believable that all these events might even be happening in the same setting. How does Earth even fit into these obviously foreign fantasy worlds?
Decided to check if I missed multiple main characters tag, the most hated tag on the site, only to realize that the story is not tagged. In fact, it's not tagged in any way whatsoever. This is especially egregious because this story seems to contain basically every tag available.
Anyway, decided to drop at chapter 17 since I couldn't bear this many new characters and seemingly contradictory plot points spontaneously infiltrating every chapter. Wouldn't recommend it.
Also kind of have to point out how every author note is just a shoutout to another story, with cover and all. I get the need for promoting but sometimes it reaches a point where it is a bit exhausting for the reader, you know?
This is definitely serious and not in any way a spoof.

The title is misleading! I clicked on this magazine expecting to see some salacious roads! The shining cobblestones oiled under the sun, every one of their rough features marked ROYALLY.
And what do i find inside?
WORDS!
THE CONTENT IS MERELY WORDS!
None royal, few related to roads. I mean, i would be okay with description of roads, or of their paving. A recollection of the Roman methods for Road building would be... ohhh baby, so good.
But there isn't any of that.
I am giving 3 stars because, despite that, the stories in it seem riveting enough and a duck is involved in their recollection. Maybe, one day, we will have a road so royal it is made of ducks.
