So, let me finally write a review for my favorite novel on WN.
Where to start.. this is an absolutely amazing novel with solid world building of not 1 but 2 worlds. It already starts with an interesting synopsis, a, for me, new concept of going from one survival zombie apocalypse to a monster apocalypse combined with fantasie aspects and for a big part city building aspect. You would expect the city building part to at some point get old. But it doesn’t as there is a nice combination of fighting, building, surviving, system growth, character growth, new characters that each grow in their own way, romance, new couples, old couples, children, exploration and different cultural and moral views.
The author has clearly thought everything out really far in to the future. There are clear rules wich are kept and never changed because of “plot armor” and such. The rules are absolutely consistent and can be build upon. And even tough the rules don’t change for convienience sakes it does not get predictable. Somehow the author keeps thinking of new situations in a repeating cycle in a way that doesn’t bore me.
The world is incredibly big and promises to be further explored. The characters are heart warming and mostly very loving. There is darknes in the story as there is bound to be due to the differing worldviews between our protagonists world and the natives of the new world. It makes you life and die for the characters. The story both me laugh, cry and angry, but mostly it warms my heart. This is a story that grows on you. It starts a bit slow but with it it makes sure the characters that you will grow to love and the different worlds make sense to you. It is all very “complete”. The people aren’t two dimensional they learn, and grow, they work hard and change mostly for the beter.
That doesn’t mean to say the story is perfect. Some parts take a bit long but I have noticed that when pointed out the author has never made the same mistake twice. She is very active and talks and listens to her readers though not so much as to influence the story. As an author she grows and makes this story more and more amazing.
If you like a good story with likable characters that don’t get everything for free, that make reasonable and not spur of the moment short sighted decisions, with action, fantasie, systems, romance, adorable baby’s, spicy couples, survival, science, building, slice of life and more, this is for you.
If you like quick transmigration with an immediately over powered main character that build her city the moment she gets transfered, understands everything immediately as she is a “genius” (she is but let’s not talk about that, we all love our mad plant scientist 👌❤️), and has everything magically going her way whiteout rime nor reason, this is not for you.
She makes mistakes, she will have her regrets, she will have her worries. It is what makes her more than just a character and what makes me love her and this story.
Give this book a chance and maybe we will meet as fellow Altherrans ❤️
