One day in 2019, the United States of America finds itself transported to a new world.
What will happen if a modern superpower from Earth finds itself in a world with magic and technology ranging from the medieval era to World War 1? F-22 Raptors vs wyverns and biplanes. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers vs wooden ships, mage ships, and dreadnaughts. M4 carbines vs bow n’ arrows, staffs, and bolt-action rifles. Featuring aggressive expansionist empires and magical kingdoms, what will the United States do?
I will do weekly updates every Sunday of chapters with about 1000-2000 words each.
This is the first novel I have ever written and is meant to be a draft. The official one will come out sometime after I finish this.
Basically like GATE (the anime), except that a full-on invasion was carried out by the modern-day country, which causes the other fantasy country to roll over and die.
Pretty good writing so far, with few-ish grammatical mistakes.
The author is also highly familiar with military terminology and details, which helps lend credence and realism to the USA depicted in the novel. Overall a fast and enjoyable read.

good plot, especially in the beginning but later on it devolves into just combat chapters where big guns go boom America is victorias, the barbarians are defeated and are in fear while those on the sidelines orgasm at the might of America.
after chapter 40 you can just scroll all the way to the bottom as the whole thing gets repetitive.
it would be good if we where shown the perspectives of thoes facing problems rather than elves getting steamrolled and americans winning all the time
e.g. Showing the perspective of foregin powers trying to best manuver around american giant and coming up with ways to benefit and minimize risk from america, i.e. Espionage and politics
also there should be an internal group of americans influencing the outside world who is not under the thumb of the goverment, like trotskyists that want to end the fuedal regeims and despots and create communist countries, either through distributing their ideas to the people or more active work such as armed groups trying to coup countries and install socialism/communism
also the CIA of america would definetly want to puppet various goverments and possibly start farming drugs in forigen countries to sell to americans, an interesting idea
also whith the magus imperium in the peace eal they should demand some land for occupation and set up a puppet government (elf kingdom) while the USA sets up its own puppet government. Also the magus would be in a race to technologically develop to not be annaialated by the USA and using the captured/leased weapons and possibly back door agreements with mercenarys/corporations or espionage
also I find that the story thends to use too much military jargon which makes up 5% of the word count, a 567-th rifle can be replaced with automatic rifle while the 48-yu planes and be replaced with modern fighter aircraft, the specifics don't really matter unless your demonstrating the level of technology a group has such as the elves having ww2 and mach/magus having ww1

Pretty cool what-if series.. The story is told in a... I don't know what to call it.. a blurb writing like way? Each chapters are broken down into said blurbs with alot of shifting around many perspectives. A kind of unique way to write, but it kind of works with this one as it doesn't get bogged down and gets right to the point and next scenes. Author chooses to focus heavily on action... which I love! The only problem with this way of writing is that there is little to no character development... but I don't mind as most other stories I grow impatient with over mundane things... and this has none of it. Good for those that just want to get to the meat of it.

A complete disappointment. It plays out as if this was Gate, even though the author chose a far more complex setting. Rather than becoming a genius in economics and writing in-depth how we're going to fix our economy that is in shambles, or saying that it is happening and giving brief simple updates on the situation, the author instead chooses to simply ignore 99.99% of issues and those that he doesn't are handwaved away with, at best, "Tell them to produce more oil." Why even bring up said issues if you're just going to solve them using elementary schooler logic in the first place?
It's made even more strange because the author churns out paragraph after paragraph of miniature Wikipedia articles about individual weapons, unit composition, and why it's slightly different to past unit compositions, only to turn around and make said weapons do things they would at best struggle to do and has them do it flawlessly.
I wouldn't be so harsh on the story if the author didn't choose the topic and POV. Sadly, he chose a very complicated topic, chose to show it from the most complicated perspectives, and then chose to butcher the entire thing.
Looking at other reviews it seems the author creates and applies the same method to even more complex situations he creates in the future. So I'm calling it quits on this story.

The story was going quite well but then the author drops a bomb on everything, so the story sounds misleading or screwed up.
There are a lot of plot holes in this chapter.
The protests make no sense when you read the series in its entirety and when you notice there was no slide story or story about reporters.
You will feel like the author needs to research the cause for protests like one example.
The u.s invades Vietnam and suffers 500, 000 in the fictional world.
Reporters arrive 1 day after the conflict began which will lead to.
People that lost their loved ones protest and one day later.
Those who want to support them, protest with them.

Amazing story. I think the chapters are a little too short. I also am slightly disappointed that magic isn't really used other than as substitutes to fuel and ammo

For people that like 'gate' and 'nihonkoku', here is the America version. The novel have several action and battle, more than we normally see. It's a good novel to read if you are a fan of those works.

Okay besides it not having enough chapters it’s pretty good it’s annoying at the beginning the president is lethargic and is kinda in peace mode but once it Ramps up it’s amazing also the comments about dropping bombs on everything really untrue mostly because one guy can take out 1000 of there’s so why drop a bomb only on the elf’s did they do that and they were fanatic nazis so that’s fine

It's pretty good some ideas are left unexplored they should've been other times side stories could be shuffled around to be a little more cohesive this could use more descriptions about the people it drops characters from being major to a side character well there's no main character cause other took this another direction I liked it though but it's still feels a little odd. I think this is really good for online writing and the author said this a draft so when looking at from that perspective I feel four stars is the correct rating. Keep up the good work author I enjoy this series
