This novel had a good start and even though any trouble is delt with by the system and this novel has no suspense at all, it is written in a way that makes it enjoyable to read.Because the story itself and the characters are very flat the novel focuses on two things. The individual scenes and the reaction of the world around it.The reactions of the world might look nuanced at first, but they are stupidly repetitive at times. Therefore the focus is directed on subtly criticism of the real world school system, education bias and the skewed world fiew of older generations. Simply put, the current school system does not suit the future job marked and living environment. For example, the gaming industry is huge and a great opportunity for those with talent, just like other sports, but we hardly ever see schools support it in the way they support other sports. The individual scenes mostly depend on a summoned character, a famous person from a parallel world. This is were I have to draw a line. The author did not do his research, the people he summons are very famous, but he often has trouble pinpointing the reason for their fame and differentiate it from what they are actually good at.For example: G. R. R. Martin is a famous author, but what made him famous is decidedly not, as stated in this novel, his ability to tell a story from multiple perspectives . Martin is a master of world building and overarching and very compelling story lines. He uses multiple perspectives in his books, mostly because his narrators die often, but it is decidedly not something special to do that and he is not even remotely famous for it. It was genuinely hard for me to think of something Martin is less proficient at, precise and consice descriptions, Martin loves going on long tangents and is kind of infamous for drawing out scenes in his book.I don't particularly like this novel, I really dislike some of the characters summoned and their lack of personality. They mostly feel misrepresented. But I like that the author tries to critique the current educational standards.
