Description

The Second World, sister to Terra, formerly connected by the roots of the World Tree. The place where the majority of Terra's fae fled at the end of the Great Strife.

U’shaal, a primal god intent on the utter destruction of both the First and Second worlds.

The soldier. An EarthGov marine. An officer. A boat marine with a shining record. A Terran who suddenly finds himself lying in an opening burned into a primal forest, he knows not where, with his clothing and equipment half melted.

This is the story of how a single, lost soldier awakens on another world, filled with magic, and the lost races of myth. And rises to gather friends and allies, with the end goal of battling an elder god for the survival of both worlds.

Expect to see:

-Old Gods

- isekied MC (More John Carter of Mars style than anime)

- Aboriginal peoples descended from wolves.

-Werewolves, elves, dwarves, were boars, ogres and a host of other mythical creatures.

-Magic on a grand scale.

I was just finishing up constructing a lengthy and in-depth review on my iPad.. I was all thumbs and disaster struck.. Already tired with a headache coming on, this will now be short.
So far I have found this story to be awesome.
Old-school in its pacing with many a story thread seemingly well on their way to make for a very nice embroidered piece. No action fast food here, with plot lines and characters falling by the wayside never to be heard from again, and so on!
Characters all really feel like real sapient beings with depth to them along with variation.
Grammar is great same goes for the breadth of vocabulary and its usage. Of course this is my personal opinion and based on my limited understanding.
.. have I forgotten anything.. I will return to add further to this review at a more propitious time. Possibly when my head isn’t thumping and nausea doesn’t threaten.

The premise of the story is a bit unconventional for Royal Road, but generally some of the best stories can be found within the hinterlands of the website. I liked the purpose of the story, and how it was written. The overarching story is quite good, and it was enjoyable throughout.
The style was smooth, with no real errors. I could tell that a lot of effort had been put into maintaining a logical flow, and it was coherent the entire time through. It was definitely better than some of the works that I have seen on this site. On a website where editing is not required, making sure that everything is in order shows great integrity.
The story was one of the best parts of the fiction. The worldbuilding was detailed, like I mentioned earlier the unconventional premise was done well, and I liked how the MC was transported from a different time period on Earth to the present.
The characterization was good, but not superb. In general it was serviceable, but it was a tiny bit flat at times. Still, it was not a big deal, as the rest of the story more than made up for this.
The grammar was well constructed, and there were no major errors.
In general, I would highly recommend this story, but I believe that it could become even better with a little bit of polishing. All gems start out in the rough after all.

This is a Fantasy isekai, very slow paced. Unless the typical isekai where a person from today is transported to another world, it is the isekai of a soldier awakening in a deep wood far from his last location. The soldier's time is clearly in our future, with cybernetic implants and interstellar travel.
The style is very baroque, with lots of extra adverbs and adjectives. Quite a few of these sentences are very long. A random example: "He lay against the bole of the tree and tried to regulate his breathing, striving to ignore, at the same time, the quivering of his legs and arms, the dull thud of the cracked rib that thumped away from the other side of the pain blocks that were already in need of augmenting." It transports some kind of alienness and fantasy atmosphere, but it can be quite tiresome for someone who has English only as a secondary language.
The story is clearly for the long run, the build-up is slow-paced with great care to detail. Even in chapter 7, the setting is still in the forest so different POV storylines just start to converge.
