Description
Dozens, if not hundreds of worlds were destroyed or damaged by what amounted to a industrial accident on a higher level of existence. Many people and places however, were saved at the last instant and hastily slammed together into a makeshift world held together with magic and hope.
The director was assigned to keep the whole thing going and stole the idea of a RPG driven system as a placeholder set of natural laws. One he is constantly having to apply ad hoc fixes and updates on the fly.
The main character and the church he worked at end up being one of the places from modern earth that got saved.
Possibly updating Saturday and Sunday if my schedule stays the same

- John DoveyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story has many, many flaws. Homonyms. Spelling errors. Grammar errors. You name it.
In spite of that it's a rollicking story. Completely different take on the Isekai/apocalypse genre with a quirky sense of humour and self-deprecating humbleness to the MC which I found particularly endearing.
If I was an English teacher, I would grade it as about two stars. Seeing as I'm not, I'm just a reader looking for good stories, I have no problem giving it five stars. Those stars are for the sheer entertainment value of the story as well as to serve as encouragement to the author to continue to write, continue to entertain and, hopefully, continue to improve. (Pro tip, use Grammarly) - ZarEthosRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5A great story, but like everything I've read from this Author, ends too soon.
In this case, however, it feels more like the story was cut short rather than ended at a good place with a wealth of potential afterwards. It's good to see even these earlier works showcase a lot of talent and imagination, however... and just how much the spellchecking has improved, which is saying a lot.
