Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves.And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone.---Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever.Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding.Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST.

One of the best, even.I mean 1,225 ratings and an almost perfect score? You don't see that often.Top Review on RoyalRoadThis is quite amazing. One of the most fun LitRPGs on the site, and unique to boot. It's gonna explode in popularity, 100%.Contrary to what I'm used to, we don't follow a protagonist from Level 1, but meet them when they're already decently strong (at the pinnacle of a Bronze Tier Party, close to breaking through to Silver.) What makes them special are their rare/unique [Classes], which are capable of causing some serious mayhem when combined together. Exploit-levels of mayhem, which gets them in trouble with the [System]. The synergies are so cool.Seriously, give it a shot. It's explosive, the writing is 10/10 quality, the chapters are long, the characterization is deep and it's great fun. Also, later on things slightly calm down, and we get some more "slice-of-life"-like party dynamics, chilling and hanging out. (I slightly preferred the fight for their lives).Edit: things are picking up speed again! Great Style score: 5/5Third person past tense, the classic of Royalroad. POVs often switch between chapters, so we get the chance to see the thoughts and feelings of various characters, not just Donovan. The story wouldn't really work without that, and I like it, even if I'm not usually a fan of multi-POV. As for the actual style, it's great!Story score: 5/5I love the world, the perfect amount of necessary worldbuilding, and I love what's been happening up until now. Things are happening, and it's really entertaining. You never know what's going to happen next, it has a way of surprising the reader, and being super creative. There's also waves of things happening all at once, and the party recovering, and just chilling around, hanging out. Overall awesome.Grammar score: 5/5Up there with the best on the website. The prose is great, there are no mistakes, and the english is at a good level. I love the writing!Character score: 5/5This part the story likes to focus on a lot, but I think is maybe slightly weaker than the other categories? I would still rate it as 5/5, but I had to think about if maybe 4.5 would be more accurate. We get the perspectives of all the different characters, and each one is unique and feels like a person, they all have their backstories and reasons why they do what they do, why they think like they think. But when they sit down and do the "healthy communication" thing, they all start to sound like they're the same person, who talks in the same soft, consoling way, and says the same "correct" things. Kind of like, they all got the same "therapist-training" or something.This is only a really minor gripe of mine, I barely notice it, but it didn't feel 100% natural to me. Regardless, the characters are awesome, and they deserve a 5/5 score I the great pain will venture into this novel Rank: E Broo like no one gonna check it? Take everything with a grain of salt because i only read a few chapters. Okay, but where the heck is your review? he probably forgot to post it. LOL, it is still funny! Im goin in.
