    Anyone up for some late-night reading?
    All I ask is that you read the novel until you're bored with it. Let me know where you stop and why.

    PM me if you're interested. I got more than enough chapters :D

    PS: Posting here, cause I don't just want authors to read, but regular readers to give me their opinion.

    What's the story about?:
    Lucian Nox Praeco. Top of class. Skipped several grades to enter freshman college early. Son of a respected scientist. That is, until, he was unwittingly put into a pod and woke up in a strange, new world.
    Yet, this world is not a simple as he thought. Mages roam the land, and fierce monsters threaten to destroy civilization. Where everyone has a story and an agenda, Lucian becomes embroiled in an old millennial plot that encompasses the world, while still learning how to fend for himself.
    How will a barely adolescent boy fare in a world where danger lurks at every corner and without anyone to trust?

    Inspirational Sources:
    Release That Witch, Advent of the Archmage, Way of Choices, A Step into the Past, Game of Thrones

    Okay, that's too much, how about some genres?:
    Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Seinen, Fantasy

    Okay, that's still too much, how about some keywords?:
    Coming of age, calm protagonist, clever protagonist, eidetic memory, elves, friendships, male protagonist, medieval, multiple POV, monsters, modern knowledge, nobles, R-15, romantic subplot, royalty, love interest dies, schemes and conspiracies, swords and magic, wars, weak to strong, wizards.

    The opening premise reminds me of Futurama but it ends up in a kinda generic fantasy land instead of a crazy future world.

    The multiple POV worries me. Very few are actually able to execute multiple POV well, and I mean, most writers sucks so much at it that their story is unreadable or unenjoyable. The same thing with romantic subplot but that I could easily ignore or skip if I don't enjoy it.
