Summoning A Human: A Stereotypical Isekai

Self-Published

Description

Every species is created by a god. A god who designed their homeworld, its fauna and its people.

As such, each and every species in the multiverse is endowed with special powers from their god granting them unique abilities.

Something that puts them ahead of others and creates their own unique niche among the various people in the universe.

Humans don't seem to have any of those.

They have no sharp claws, no hides that can deflect bullets, no abilities to see into the arcane and mold it to their will.

In terms of intelligence even other humans seem to think the average is low and their perception isn't that much better.

It is a question how humans even manage to differentiate themselves from wild beasts, seeing as how there is nothing magical to set them apart. Much less how humans will manage to survive the cold and uncaring universe at large without being conquered and made subservient.

But then for whatever reason, humanity's God is the only one who melts people's eyeballs out of their skull when they look at him so they might not do to badly after all.

After all, what stories do you see, that contain a Christian Biblically Accurate Angel? Mixed with a Fantasy world, too.
I, personally, would really love to see more stories like this, as it gives, albeit a biased, perspective on how the God Of Humanity would react to foreign intrusions or forceful takings of his creations.

First of all: I recently discovered that this little gem has moved from r/HFY to RR and I am very glad it did. Because of that I have already went through all available chapters there and am now on my fourth read.
Now to the meat of the matter: You might read the title and think to yourself "Stereotypical? I've read/watched plenty of isekai stories and they are quite formulaic and boring why should I dedicate my time to one that carries that word like a badge of honor in the title?". Well, hypothetical reader, this one hits different. The author of this story takes those tropes and twists them into something special. A weave of world-building tying humanity to a Proto-Indo-European God Father, Biblically accurate angels, Fallen angels, weeping angels, young Gods, old Gods, powers, blessings, wrapping itself like a toga around a protagonist who by the luck of the draw found himself in a certain(right/wrong?) place at a certain(right/wrong?) time by no fault of his own. Action? Yes! Slice of life? Sure! Shenanigans? Yup! Am I biast? Yeah.... Go read the first chapter and see if I'm right :)

Except the rocks are lovecraftian horrors attached to a severely bemused human in an alien fantasy/futuristic world who was kidnapped by some bad people who obviously didn't read enough of the fantasy alien equivalent of Call of Cthulhu.
Then they're melted into puddles of gore, and the real story begins.
The story does a pretty good job of showing what it would be like for an advanced civilization to encounters such a singularly unusual species (in the sense that Humans are actually singularly "usual" in this context).
There is a lot of confusion, born as much from the Human's own (completely wrong) preconceptions about what's happening (he thinks he's in a stereotypical isekai plot), as from the alien researcher's great reluctance to accept that actually the Human really is as remarkably unremarkable as he appears.
Anyway, it's great. I'm hoping it has some definite plot, and that we reach its thrilling conclusion sometime in the near future.

I like it alot, the mix between old testament and modern space horror is fascinating and i love how it all comes together, 5 stars! I feel like the MC reacts like literally an average human would to a good degree, he's not seceretly some super genius or some bad ass emo katana weilder, he's a normal guy that stumps space scientists from how bland he is, which is super cool.

I read 16 chapters still don't know what's all about. It's weird and you can't guess what'll happen in near future. Is Mark gonna grow 5 arms and become professional juggler or maybe they'll feed him with infinite tablets that will let him guess on which side the sandwich will land when it falls from the table.
It's not standard litrpg, on every corner there are suprises . I think author just rolls dice and based on number he steers Mark adventure to go certain way.
I like the unique style of the story. It's a bit philosophical gods,angels and our poor MC trying to make sense out of this.
I give it the rating of 5 stars , 1 planet, 3 asteroids and half of black hole .

It is really great untill chapter 6. The things mc said were really stupid for an avarage human. He ask about advanture guild and fanstasy to a alien who has more advance technology than their world.
If you like ch 6 you will love this novel. This novel is not for me. Honestly it's 2.5 star for me. I don't want to lower the rating of novel just because of my bias thought so I gave it 4. The concept is really dope but the execution is really bad.

The story started strong but fell off fairly quickly. I liked where the aliens were trying to figure out what humans were. It fails when our MC acts like a child and lies saying adventure guilds are normal and then the story goes in that direction. Just why? It was a good start and could have been an intelligent story but then MC just fails us and begins poorly representing humanity. I dont have any issues with the writting style, grammar or pacing. All good there, just dont like the direction the story started heading.

I started reading this because I found the premise as written in the description to be a neat idea. Unfortunately, whilst the first few chapters are interesting, it quickly devolves from there. The actual plot seems to focus a lot more on the "A Stereotypical Isekai" part of the title, with the initial premise regarding God being relegated to the first couple of chapters. The actual "stereotypical isekai" part also seems hamfisted in my opinion, with the isekai aspect being created due to the summoned human lying (for no apparent reason) to the technologically advanced beings trying to find out who/what he is.
As a result, it really feels like I was lured into a story that I would likely have not read otherwise by an interesting premise that seems to have been a convoluted excuse for the plot to exist. As such, I don't think this plot is for me.
As an additional note on grammar, whilst spelling is perfect as far as I've seen, every paragraph rarely consists of more than one or two short sentences, lasting only a single line on my desktop PC or a couple of lines on my phone, which makes everything seem rather disjointed.

The main character Mark is taken from his world and placed in never ending secret experiments where this new magical society is trying to learn all they can about Humans. Their only sample and example of what a Human is comes from Mark, and his obnoxious, naive, petulant and most peculiar of all bland personality.
By chapter 12, Mark has lied to this new civilization, telling them about adventurer guilds like they exist outside of fiction. I wasn't sure if I could continue reading about him and his never ending boring and annoying dialogue. Or whether his choice to pretend that adventurer guilds and adventures were things Humans in his world did.
By chapter 16 it all culminates in him being exposed to death and injury, and behaving like an absolute child at every opportunity during his hospitalization.
It felt like I was reading about the most obnoxious man-child. I can't tell if he's supposed to be an unreliable narrator, because he claims he's been magically enhanced to be more adaptable. Yet he's not adapting to anything other than the strange appearances of the new species he's around.
I'm not able to succinctly represent how deeply I've grown to hate Mark in the short time I've read about him, but he is by far the least interesting or well adjusted main character the author could have inserted into this story, and he's worth -4 stars.

Thoughts:
Interesting premise but honestly actually pretty hard to keep track of what the hell is going on, our MC is pretty much a scatter brain and the story suffers for a lack of direction, focus, and theme. I ended up dropping it despite how interesting the premise was and going by how much the story wip lashes I can't recommend it.
