Fic Review: Refuge in Oblivion

Record Crash • 19 implied HN points • 03 Jul 23

📚 Literature Fanfiction Romance Time travel

The fic series, Refuge in Oblivion, is based on Homestuck and follows a complex order of storytelling with multiple works in the series.
The prequel has an interesting plot but lacks character development, while the sequel focuses more on a romance angle.
Stakes in the fics are low and the worldbuilding is weak, making the overall experience disappointing for Homestuck fans.
