《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Oxymorons' by TheEnigmaticPhoenix
Advertisement
I should tell you that I was really confused about the word 'Oxymoron'. English isn't my first language, I thought it meant 'Moron who wastes oxygen'. But it didn't fit the context.
Then I tried to find a definition that sounded correct to me for ten minutes. Not finding anything that fit. Just started reading.
FOUND DEFINITION OF OXYMORON ON THE FIRST PAGE.
Ahem. Anyways.
By the way, I lied to you. The book is a collab between @TheEnigmaticPhoenix and @alicejpctter
About the book: apparently, an oxymoron is two contradicting words (ex. Genius Moron). Juniper Holmes is an oxymoron. Noah Lee, CEO of Ubisoft, is not. Or is he?
The characters and plot are... oxymorons. They're original clichés. You get me?
What I mean is, the heartless CEO kind of stuff has been used many times, but I hadn't read one like this before. Even when it contains clichés, the book is still fun to read.
GPS, perfectly fine. Don't change anything, friends.
One little thing: the characters regularly have discussions with their brains. I know it's done for the lolz, but it kinda makes the characters look like they all have multiple personality disorder (you know what the Dutch word for that is? 'Meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornis'. Can you pronounce that?)
On the other hand, we have the same shitty sense of humour, and I can appreciate that. Kudos for that!
Rating: 7!

Real Real Life
Jamie was having a bad day, until he was crushed to death by a beer delivery truck and things became a whole lot worse. Thrown back into the 'Real World', but now with access to his own stats and those of others Jamie must undertake a series of quests in order to level up and advance, and figure out just what in the name of all that is unholy is going on. Which is the real world? Is he in a game? A simulation? And who actually is his online friend Barry. Inspired greatly by the MUDs of the 90s, many of the aspects will be familiar to those who experienced the joys of text adventures, MUSHs, MURPEs, MUDs, modern MMORPGs or just some good old fashioned cybering with a 17/f/Cali who was anything but. This humorous, harem LitRPG story is the first story by experienced author Jamie Haremie under this pen name. Jamie has previously written horror and romance (sometimes together!) as well as tons and tons of riveting TPS reports. (Late 90s cultural reference? CHECK). Any and all comments and suggestions welcome!

However, if you guys think that it needs more dialogue, I'll be happy to input that. Although I say that, the following chapters that I'll be uploading will be more or less straight to the point to give a faster feeling for the plot. Don't worry though, I'm not going to abandon writing the intricate details, especially the ones that you guys need to know in order to have knowledge of the world that they're in, and the lore that I'm weaving.

Bear trap (statehumans CalTex)
(This book has nothing to do with furries, otherkins, or irl therianthropes. Both by their own definitions and my own, we have nothing to do with each other. Keep being your weird selves just don't pretend I'm a part of those groups because I wrote this book with animal/human hybrids in it. Any comments trying to talk about furries or otherkins will be deleted because it makes me physically uncomfortable. Therians are ok tho because it's basically the fancy way to say people who have spirit animals)There are two races in this world, humans and therianthropes, which are humans with animal qualities, that can shapeshift into their animal counterpart. The therianthropes, once divided by predator and prey, joined together in hiding after the humans began to hunt therianthropes for sport. California, a young grizzly bear therianthrope, was always curious to see the world beyond the forest he and his people lived within. Texas, a young farmhand, always wanted to catch a therianthrope, believing it would make him the hero of his village after violent massacres and thefts had been performed on it, supposedly by therianthropes.But when these two young men's paths collide, secrets, strange new feelings, and a magical adventure turns everything they thought they knew about the others race upside down.Warnings:- statehumans- countryhumans - the country and statehumans are all kinda just mixed together. There is no obvious separation between state and country, they're all just people - guns- and ships- hunting - idk, vegans?- gay stuff- not super gory, but people do get hurt - maybe death
