So far, I am finding this story to be damned amazing. I found this story late last night as I was about to go to bed. I ended up binge reading it from the beginning to chapter 25, and it kept me up until almost 2am! TL;DR - If you have completed certain story arcs for high-level characters in the MMORPG "Star Wars: The Old Republic", you will love this story. Specifically, Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne. The story uses elements from the video game to ask the question of what would happen if someone who completed those arcs had them, some of their followers and their ship were transported forward in time to the era of the Star Wars films. Anyone else who doesn't play the game or haven't done those story arcs can still enjoy the story, just not as much. Note that this isn't a "I got myself transferred to my character in the Star Wars universe!" kind of story. This is about a person native to that universe who goes forward in time. There is no external knowledge about future events or people unless it's teased or revealed by the Force. Synopsis Writing quality is great. Grammar is excellent with only a few minor spelling errors here and there. Stability of updates is a concern. The first set of chapters came out in August 2019. September and October were skipped, then some more chapters were released in November and December. I am hoping chapter releases will be more stable now, but we all know how real life can get in the way. Story Development is great. The author is following the movies, starting from the era when Padme meets Anakin. Then some changes are made here and there by the main character or his followers. It's not anything too big yet, but you can tell the ripple effect is being felt as time goes on. The more things are changed by the time travelers, the more there will be unforeseen changes. Character design is great, although that statement is a bit misleading. Almost all the characters have well-established backgrounds from the video game or the Star Wars movies. Only the main character and some custom companions are new to this Star Wars universe. With that said, we continue to learn about him and his followers as the story progresses. They seem to be well-developed and consistent in their behavior, although there are a few moments when the author takes a few liberties to help with story flow (which an author can and should do!). World Background is great. It's the Star Wars universe! It's been developed by many people over many decades. The author's twist on merging the story of a great SWTOR video game with the movie canon is believable. I'm looking forward to how some other future events will turn out. Overall, I was surprised by how much I loved reading this story. I am currently at chapter 25. Based on what has been written so far, there is so much more that can be done. I can see the story going on for quite some time to come.

Hey, first off Thanks for Reading :) Yes to really get the full experience having finished a lot of the game SWTOR is a must, seeing as i took quite a bit of inspiration from it and it explains quite a few things. I have tried to make it easier for people who haven't played the games, but haven't gone too in depth in the characters or rehashed much from their past as it is considered almost redundant. About my writing quality, I really do try and make sure that everything is edited and flows properly but I know I miss inconsistencies or stuff up words. hell when I upload I notice that like 10 words minimum are wrong. It's an on going process. Stability of updates yeah is a concern, what you didn't mention or didn't notice is that actually where I fist uploaded the chapters, Fanfic.net, I actually uploaded the prologue and first 2 chapters in august, before getting chapter 3 out in December. The reason chapter 2 came out late here (Webnovel), is because of how long I was taking with chapter 3. Now there are a few reasons for that, first off, I was in the middle of Exam season and didn't write anything for about 2 months straight. 2, I have another novel/novels I am concentrating on writing, my spider-man novel which takes up priority and time. And 3, the latest chapter, (Chapter 3) was 4 times the original size of the prologue, about 3 times the size of chapter 1 and double the size of chapter 2. I have never written a chapter that big and it took me 2-3 months just to do it. Going forwards I am going to focus on doing more 10k chapters instead, so probably faster release. Story development, I don't have much to say about, I know that writing and changing a few things in the first movie wasn't that hard, it's now that i have free reign and have left the movie that i might have trouble. Though I have a lot of ideas I can use before i run into a writers block. Character design was harder than I thought it would be, I mean they do have established backgrounds and personality traits that I have to stick to, but I also have to think about how time has changed them. The best I think I have done so far is Nadia, just because of the background I gave her and how that changed her personality. Next would be Ayillh, followed by Mace, where the others are still a bit blank. I really want to do a good character change/design for Vaylin because I think the game just didn't do enough for her seriously, she had so much potential as a character companion. (More than Arcann anyways.) World background was surprisingly easy and hard to do. First i had to give reasons for each character being with the MC,which was easy, i then had to think of how they got their, which was easy. The hard part was figuring out why the hell the force would do such a thing, luckily an idea struck and I rolled with it. I was worried there for a minute after i wrote like chapter 2, and was looking for a way to make small details work. For example *Spoilers* Why Ashara didn't kill Vos and Secura on Tat, or why Mace won't kill some important Jedi in future chapters, ect. And because I have given a solid reason for these action, all the changes and decisions in the future I can easily explain and go through with if I want. In the end, this novel was an idea that popped into my head after reading another story and I really wished that someone had done it already, sadly I couldn't find one to my liking, like I found a few but not many. Once I started writing it, so many ideas just kept flowing into my head which got it out so fast at the start and honestly if I wasn't writing my spider-man novel or any of my others novels, I would have probably released a few more chapters by now. There is just so much that can change and be tweaked in star wars. Thank you for reading and your awesome review, it always helps to read what people think of my writing, and sometimes it affects how i move the story forwards. Zevren out.
