Got to chapter 5. Absolutely bored to freaking tears. I think the author has a great ability to write but there’s a tonnof inconsistencies with how the real world works. this whole being “chosen” and taking a subpar job offer when its stated he had multiple competing offers is so dumb. No person would even waste their time to be so insulted. Also, the team put together is so completely irrational and shows the author has never worked for a professional company that had made teams work together to accomplish a goal. Even real life archeologists dont have to deal with pseudo science personality trait testing bs ON THE JOB. Its irresponsible and downright offensive to the team members for the way the information was/wasn’t shared between each member. its just so stupid and im literally 5 chapters in with nothing exciting. ??????? Even a prologue or something showing some level of excitement wouldve kept me engaged. i guess you also intended for this to be more character driven instead of story driven. youve got too many murder mystery style elements for the overworld arching story to be the focus. Personally dislike this kind where the drama is between characters rather than man vs environment/world. idk i thoudght this would be an isekai with magic and stuff too but no sign of it by chapter 5. Not worth the waste of time.

Alright, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. And yes - I do not have any experience in how the corporate world actually *works* given I’m still 17. Anywho, there are reasons why the casting is like that. But then again it’ll take patience to actually uncover why so? In regards to why Ephraim agreed to such ridiculous request, it’ll be revealed in later chapters. Thank you for reading though. If it’s so dumb for you, I apologize for taking your precious time ^^

What I like most about writing ANDROMEDA is that . . . I was able to create people whom I think are closer to me than I’ve ever been closer to (real) people—you construct their thoughts, emotions, characteristics, and appearance as their basic foundation. You put the characters into trouble and think how they handle it with their different attitudes and perspectives. This is what I liked best—because my main characters composed of people like an archeologist, a doctor, a researcher, a biologist and a former sergeant-in-arms. I liked how they have their individuality. I outlined ANDROMEDA a month ago when I watched about Lovecraft in Ted Ed’s educational videos in their writer’s workshop, regarding how to harness the “fear of the unknown.” I think it’s thrilling how characters first will know little just like the readers, and as the story goes, and when the truth is revealed, both the readers and the characters would have the complete grasp of whatever it is that’s occurring. It’s like being with someone, and you watch them grow. And you grow along with them. I’m writing ANDROMEDA to explore a new world—to venture to the “unknown” fearlessly. What I aim to happen is to have the characters be closer to the readers—seize their hand and watch them grow. Create a new world being linked to ours. Create that connection. I welcome you to ANDROMEDA; and I hope, my dear reader, we will be with you til the end of the “unknown.” Until we know fully the truth — or is it the truth we are seeking?

I've never seen several concepts integrated so perfectly in one story. I'm not into archaeology, but this made me look up some details. It marvelled me how meticulous the preparations of archaeologists during their excavation seasons! No wonder Ephraim wanted to go to Cairo. Also, I'm a nerdy of astronomy, primarily on cosmology. This novel just keeps on dishing out facts like a freakin' black hole with its hawkings radiation. That Arthurian legend is probably a disguised theory, one that I've definitely read but can't remember somehow. You included extensive facts and surprisingly, they are not out of place. They were purposefully placed, which aided in the learning of the readers. We're discovering things along with Ephraim. Lucian better look at that x-coordinate. My favourite character here is definitely Samuel. Others might favour Bertholdt for his casual maturity, Esmeralda for her cuteness and intellect, Hiroaki cause he's a badass, or Ephraim for his reasonableness. However, Samuel is being true to himself, being merely a kid in the midst of accomplished adults. I don't mind his sharp, unreasonable tongue, since, maybe, it's his defence mechanism. He chose to be there for his sister and that's commendable! Some of us will definitely relate to having Joanna as a parent, and you conveyed her adamant refusal to what Ephraim really wanted for himself. It's painful reading this; it is so relatable! The characters are well established, making the readers feel like we know them personally. They are very distinguishable in every passage! I utterly love your story! Please be my Ephraim and teach me! I will be supporting! Best wishes to you, author! Sorry for the lengthy review!

Affinity:Chaos

Check out my other book as well Lunar:Secret Guardians ******************* "Grey, elemental affinity, zero" The Elder announced the result loudly On hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning struck Grey, he stood there dumbfounded and just stared at the Elder. Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... *************** Check out the book, leave a review after reading, and also your powerstones. Hope you enjoy this, and Thanks for reading ^_^ P.S: When I started this book I had zero writing experience, so the first chapters aren't that great, although, my writing quality has improved over time. Also, English isn't my first language, so there are some instances where my choice of words are not good enough for what I'm trying to portray. A heads up, the book will be using a medieval setting. My world building is not the best, but it gets better over time, so bear with me on the early chapters! P.S: Cover art not mine I just edited it. If you're the owner and want me to take it down you can notify me. Other novel: Lunar:Secret Guardians Check it out as well! Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gs68a4ZzaN
