This is totally a new concept to me: a multimedia ebook. I guess the biggest difference from the other books is the additional media like a lot of graphics and sound [music?] added besides text for narrative purpose, to which the author try to show-not-tell the readers of this very dystopian world.

Apparently the protagonists were beautiful women and handsome man and they did some weird things against a female-centered society?

Apparently the protagonists were beautiful women and handsome man and they did some weird things against a female-centered society?

I think the main concept of the book touched something dark that lies on our society [or western society?] people don't really want to talk about: a cause-and-effect linking to feminism and misandry. It didn't only reveal the concept but show you there are hopes [apparently referred to the two heroines saving a handsome guy that the book's misandric women hated] to get away from the injustice [or a hope to do so?].

I can imagine the readers' reactions are two extreme groups. Either you will love it very much if you are someone like to think for unknown [or untold?] gender problems towards men [or advocates of resisting injustice to men?] and advanced the society besides the top people tell us how the world is, or you'll hate it [especially if you believe in feminism] and think this is a rubbish book.

I guess these two reactions can show what kind [or group?] of people you are believing in, and this is an interesting thing that if a book can lead to the various reactions of readers (i.e. love or hate) due to opposite personality or faith.

I visit the author's other sites and actually this guy [or girl?] has intention to have this made a series. I really hope that more new concepts or issues can be seen and brought through the book. The book is short, extremely short to some regular readers. But I think this is their intention as the book seems to be only in electronic version, which mean for people reading in a rush time, or for simpler young people reading ability [less time for depth reading].

By linking, they have soundtracks related to the book too. I clicked to the site to have a listen and the first impression was, wow, great epic music. I guess they may have many stories [or written?] as the music themes name were something didn't appear in the book. Here is the link for people like to visit and listen http://soundcloud.com/newerahumans

Anyway, I see they have put efforts to make this book [or this series] as a "long-term literature" with multiple media used for narration. And this author is too new, but I would give 4.5 stars [so 5 as no 0.5 point] for the motivation. I wish you [if you are reading my review, author] can make more works with your concepts. I hope to see what you are thinking regarding to the topics you gave us, in an interesting way. ...more

I got an ARC copy from the author via Librarythings in exchange for a review.

For starters, I have to give kudos to the whole team for this very interesting concept. I think the best features of this ebook are the embedded multimedia and the amazing artwork. I read the book on Calibre which granted a strange slanted shape of the artwork, but it didn't detract from enjoying the multimedia and the saxophone embedded music in the character profiles was a treat to hear.

Now, I have some odd tastes in anime. While I generally detest the teenage MOE stuff that is rampant in new series these days, I love harem anime with barely clad women kicking butt such as Aika and Burn Up!, etc... I think that if you are a fan of that kind of fanservice anime with hot women using super powers and men that accidentally touch the bosoms of VERY angry cops, you will find this book (which is going to be the first of a planned series of short stories) to be a whole lot of fun.

The introduction book takes place in a rural planet in one of 5 major markets named the Red Silk Road Market. A widely popular blond man that recently emigrated named Yoshio is playing the saxophone when a group of utterly nasty female cops show up to cause a racket. Apparently, this planet was conquered by a Feminazi empire some time ago and is ruled by archaic laws. Men are pretty much slaved cattle that need a female guardian to allow them to work. One of the cops trips over and the poor sap grabs her in the chest by accident, earning him an instant life sentence in a prison. Most of the people at the market disagree with the harsh sentence but are too afraid to demand for the man's release.

But he is saved from that terrible destiny by a strange red headed woman that is a famed legend in the Falconian empire as a troublemaker that fights for male rights and uses telekinesis to kill all of the cops. When a second batallion of cops appear and shoot laser beams at the woman named Meva and Yoshio, the beams suddely are teleported to another dimension and shoot the cops instead. A second strange woman of equal beauty (not to mention skimpy clothes that leave little to the imagination) named Zenna appears out of nowhere. Yoshio seems to already know these two women and the strange trio leave the marketplace filled with bloodied corpses to a unknown destination.

Now, for all of the good things I herald about the artwork and amazing formatting of the multimedia aspect of the book, the story is confusing at best. I only sort of started to understand it after I read the extensive encyclopedia and character profiles at the end of the book. Being a colony planet of the Falconian empire, we didn't get a chance to understand this concept and for that, the probable reason that most of the women in the marketplace didn't seem to be in favor of the draconian anti men laws.

I didn't understand why the apparent planet chancellor (that according to the booklet explains that she is a hybrid Falconian/Isis with blue skin and purple hair) would appear in the market that day. I believe she went there to oogle at the handsome saxofonist like everyone else, but the book didn't explain during the ensuing (and very bloody battle) about her physical traits or anything. I find that we were thrown into this strange little universe without knowing they had blue skin, purple hair, a colony or anything. At the same time, the book felt like an insanely long infodump prologue.

A lot of people dislike very large prologues and this book only needed to briefly explain that there is a draconian feminist empire called Falcon that long ago subjugated a lot of planets throught several galaxies and enforce repressive laws against male inhabitants. But while I didn't understand where I was or what the characters looked like, I got plenty of reminders that men were hated and that the cops were tyrants. The writing only made me feel even more confused which seriously detracted from the immersion fun factor of this multimedia in the book. I also saw 3 typos.

I think the concept is rather interesting, but there were things in the writing that could be improved (luckily it seems like rewriting the text will be an easier fix over reformatting the extensive multimedia). I would have wanted Yoshio to gasp in surprise when he recognized Meva's face when he chatted in the popular Virtual Reality interplanetary social media website. It would have amped the excitement of his impending rescue. I would have also wanted Zenna who also uses the famous social network to effusively kiss Yoshio in the mouth the instant the danger seemed to be over causing surpise and gossip in the marketplace.

I personally liked the originality of this project that will certainly appeal to people that like ecchi manga/anime and if the writing would be massively improved, it could become the first of a whole new genre of fusion multimedia heavy visual novel/ebooks.

Due to the confusing writing, I grant this book 3 1/2 stars. ...more

Storywise, it is a battle between two goddesses (superhumans?) and some unenlightened people who ruined their world, just like what's happening in our actual world. I think the enlightenment the author expressed is on social issues about men being ignored. The book is actually very inspiring in this aspect as I didn't see other books really touched these topics. I really like the theme music and the chatacters sax music in the story, which is made very good and a freshing idea for an ebook. Just ...more
