Synopsis

- Hiatus! Coming back this 2024 -



Ephraim, or as called by his colleagues, Raim, is an archeologist. Upon his commencement, he was stationed with a task force consisting of a researcher, a biologist, a doctor, and a former sergeant-in-arms; their team entrusted with a duty to examine the desolated LAB of an abandoned former space station: ANDROMEDA.



As a man of science, he knew what his weakness was: curiosity. Upon entering the premises of ANDROMEDA, Raim discovers that succumbing to his desires would prove fatal one day.



And that day has come.



By the end of the darkness of the seemingly isolated laboratory was not obscurity filled with dust and desolation—but a tunnel leading to another realm of knowledge. A pathway to another dimension.



No… the -pathway- to another world.



The entrance to a completely different time where magic, knights, kingdom, monsters, and battles reigned supreme;



Now Ephraim and his task force must utilize their existing knowledge and cultivate their given power to survive onslaughts and drive the kingdoms of another world to prosperity.



[note: if you push through chapter 13 where the action generally starts, it will be worth it.]

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?

Searching for Andromeda This fiction is set quite apart from other web fiction I've read on Webnovel and is akin to actual published literature. It's amazing to see such quality and detail in this book that will leave many readers in awe of such flawless writing. There's nothing to point out but good things with this book, and I'm sure it will sweep up high in the rankings! What I liked the most about this book are the characters themselves with nuanced pasts and backgrounds. It's easy to get attached when you know a lot about our protagonist and I'm hoping for safety as he enters the land of Peru. Though I expect perilous events taking place soon. I'm a bit review on this late, I didn't want to thumb through this book, instead I wanted to appreciate the excellent literature~

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!

This has huge potential and the story is really good. The way the novel is written feels like it was done by a professional author. Kudos to the author for this. The only downside for ME here is when changing the point of view. I feel like you can improve on that part such as how he reacts/feels when that happened instead of copying what was already written? This is just my opinion though.

This book has a lot of potential, although many would find the start a tad slow, FOR ME the book is proceeding at a stable speed with both plot and concept presented in an engaging manner.👍

The best thing about andromeda is that the characters are well constructed. It’s as if they have their own life and they’re actually living within us. What makes them do relatable are their dialogues. Kudos to the author, Definitely a must read.

Its getting there, but the author is a little helter-skelter. Hard to follow details sometimes and lacks enough proofreading and coherence. Good story and plot, but a little slow starting. So many details, yet not coherent, nor are flashbacks and asides done well.

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.

The story has a special feeling to it that I really can't find in other novels. But is it good, the characters are all great and have depth and the story is progressing very interesting, don't want to say much but this is a great read.

There’s not many books with this concept (archaeology) combined with an isekai vibe, so i applaud the author’s originality 😍 hope you can make more books like this, Ms. Chainslock!

I’ve been reading the other book (sustaining the king’s life) and switched to this. The transition from male lead to female lead is an enticing experience! The author is amazing to do both at the same time. There are a tenses issues but i believe it can be fixed by thorough proofreading. Overall greatjob
