Foreword - Oh boy, ANOTHER isekai.
"Ah shit, here we go again."
-Carl "CJ" Johnson
Great hook, right? I thought so. Yeah, this one checks all the boxes. Author who has problems with how RWBY went after Volume 3? Check. Non-professional author whose first work didn't garner any real following? Check. Yet another RWBY isekai? Big 'ol check. Now, assuming you've actually read past all of that, I'd like to clarify a few things. Yes, this fic is an isekai. No, it's not a fuckin' harem where the author's OC turns all of the attractive female characters into notches on his bedpost (this character is an American in his late 30s and all four of the main female characters are under 18, gross). This idea came to me after I got Covid and proceeded to play A LOT of Ground Branch and binge "SEAL Team" on Paramount+, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I also watched Terrible Writing Advice's video on isekais and wanted to see if I could write one that doesn't totally suck. Anyway…
I think we can all agree that Tier 1 operators are (generally) a pretty neat group of dudes, right? Awesome, glad we all agree. Ever wondered how one of them would fare in the world of Remnant? Let's find out. As stated before, this isn't going to be the sort of isekai you might be used to reading. Think less Sword Art Online and more Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars (or Re:Zero) and you've got a rough idea of where I'm going with this. Hope you enjoy, or at least think it sucks less than other isekai fanfics.
