What Clichés has this World Wrought? [ Volume One: Another World ]

Many have read this plot before, a class of unsuspecting adolescents being thrown into a world of magic and swords; but what if, instead of a happy-go-lucky adventure, they were burdened with the truth of their new reality?
The unknown they found themselves was very foreign, but never did they think that this world and Earth was intertwined.

The world they were thrown into is cruel, bloody, and dangerous. Trauma, tribulation, challenges, and hardships must be overcome for even a minuscule chance of returning home– if they even can.

Monsters of all kinds lurked within nature, and because of that, it's easy to forget the monstrosity called human nature. Can they overcome their inner evil, traumatic burdens, and come out on top?

Can Akiro Hiroto survive the impeding twist that threatens to break his very soul?

Criticism is welcome, and in fact-- I would like to address all of my shortcomings and improve so that I can grow as a writer!

Special thanks to 'Alternate Alex' and 'Smurfed' for being vocal about their interest in my novel-- you two drive me to continue writing!
