RWBY: LUCID
Jaune Arc moved to the city of Vale hoping for a regular high-school experience. However, on his second night in the city, he somehow found himself waking up to a decaying, nightmarish version of reality. This place, this... dream realm, housed deadly monsters that hungered for his flesh. A floating interface, the Nightmare System, whispered promises of power to him. Power that he could use to survive in this realm by killing the monsters of the dream.
Now, Jaune's only option is to navigate the rules of this new realm before it takes a bite out of him.
Welcome to Vale,
Sweet dreams.
===================
This is a slow burn story set in an Alternate Universe of the show, RWBY with a modern twist to it. The idea was inspired from (Shadow Slave), (Lord of the Mysteries) and (Dreamers Throne).
(Dream-Realm, Modern Setting, Runes).

Well, this novel can't be called bad but it definitely cannot be called good. A bit below average in my opinion. I'm not talking about the quality of plot or character design blah blah blah. No, I'm talking about the fact that the writing is done in stage dialogue. It breaks the immersion and makes you really upset and irritated. Not much can be said about the stability of updates either. I also didn't like the fact that the mc can switch between faunus and human form freely. I'd rather have him as fully human or faunus(in this case, faunus would be better cuz the author wanted to give a bloodline to the mc). This is because while it's cool to switch between human and faunus, it wouldn't work in RWBY and would just make more complications. Also, the descriptions, while good, can be improved. For example; [Ancient Wolf : The first wolf that existed. Stronger than normal wolves but have less control] can be changed to something like [Primordial Wolf: The wolf that has existed from the beginning. They are have powerful abilities and are almost unmatched in their era. However, they tend to have less control over their formidable powers.] See? Don't make it too blunt unless you plan to write a lot of infodumps. I do appreciate the fact that the author filled in the background for new readers who are not familiar with RWBY. It wasn't much effort but rarely do I see authors who actually bothered to do it.
