Read Starbound: A Space Odyssey novel written by the author ArthurHFSS on WebNovel, This serial novel genre is Sci-fi stories, covering action, adventure, mecha. ✓ Newest updated ✓ All rights reserved

Synopsis

As red tentacles burst from the ground, the whole planet trembled and fell into chaos. It was the beginning....the beginning of the end. Earth was destroyed with the attack of the mysterious creature. The Terrene Protectorate, the defenders of the universe, were left in shambles after the attack on Earth. Only a few people were able to flee from the planet before its complete destruction. John Connor, an 18 years old fresh graduate Protector, was one of those lucky enough to survive and escape. Armed only with his dubious expertise and a few tools, he will have to avoid the dangers the universe without the Terrene Protectorate can offer, repair his ship, restore the symbol of a defunct organisation and carry the burdens of the fate of the world that lies on his shoulders. Surviving in this turbulent era won't be easy for our inexperienced John Connor. With the end of the Terrene Protectorate, numerous factions that were once dormant, will rise and start to fight for power. Outlaws, fanatics, greedy corporations, and governments, the conflict of interests of those groups and factions will lead to an incredible amount of deaths. Follow John Connor as he explores the wonders of the endless universe, and discover how harsh and unforgiving reality can be. --------------- Chapters will be about 1000 to 1500 words. (Except for some special chapters.) ------------------ * YOU CAN READ THIS WITHOUT EVER PLAYING THE GAME OR KNOWING THE LORE! EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTERS, AND EVEN HAVE SOME AUXILIARY CHAPTERS WITH MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION. I also had to change a lot about the lore of the game to fit in the format of a novel, I really mean a lot, since the game itself doesn't give a lot about its lore and neither have detailed storytelling, since the focus of the game was in exploration and doing whatever the player wants. ------------------- Disclaimer: This Novel is based on the videogame Starbound by Chuckle Fish.

#Plot based Fic, with some Wish-Fulfillment included# Note: It is imperative that you read the, -Author POV-, Chapter before continuing, as it will allow you to decide whether or not this is the story for you. Also note that the Gore tag is not for laughs and giggles, at times it will get uncomfortably descriptive. This is unfortunately necessary to bring out the full scope of the Fic, so best believe if your uncomfortable, just think for a second what I'm feeling writing this ****. Synopsis: I have never fired off webs faster than I am now... my gut, its telling me somethings wrong, I just cant put my finger on it. As the feeling in my gut increases so does my speed. Finally I reach my home, And run to the front door, not caring about taking my suit off. I just... I need to make sure their both okay... their all I have left... When I reached the door I practically rip it off its hinges. "Aunt MAY, Uncle BEN!". I yell out. I look outside, and uncle Bens car is still in the drive way. My gut feeling increases tenfold... I run inside and search the house. Upstairs, nO, closets, No, restrooms, nO, Bedrooms, NO!... As the little bit of the sanity I still have starts to leave me, I finally start walking into the kitchen. I look down to notice I stepped on something red... My head goes blank. As I walk the last couple of steps into the kitchen, I couldn't help but start begging, screaming in fact, for it not to be what I think it is... I look into the kitchen only... only to fall to my knees, onto the floor... that was dyed red. I just stared into the distance, unable to accept what was in front of me. Finally, after what seemed hours, I slowly crawl to them... to their dead body's. "Please.. Please.. PLEASE!". I yell out to no one as a grab onto what was left of... May... Who before my eyes slowly began to take the form of my mother, eyes empty, teeth knocked out, mouth wide open filled with... I couldn't help but notice that her head... it wasn' attached to her body. "No, NO, NO, NO, No, NO!". I gasp out as I, for the first time in years, start to cry, as my surroundings soon take the form of a memory... one I have been trying to forget all my long unpleasant life... Read to find out more.

Have any of you ever read a book that breathes? One that jus took seemed realistic enough to take a life on its own? Because this is one of them. I am not saying this as an exaggeration. I mean it as it stands, as I find this book incredible and much more deserving of views. Let me preface this by saying, I did not play the original game it was ‘based’ on. I also use the word based loosely, just as this book takes a story on its own, and there was no need for any backgrounds info or experience from the original source, and I was immersed by the time I was at Ch 12-13. Now, the grammar is great. Indisputably so. It is a sight for sore eyes on this side laden with bad syntax. As for the characters, I do love a Main who is willing to be ruthless when it counts. We all know that’s a ***** hero isn’t interestingly anymore, but I have read many originals which try to skew as far away as possible, turning our Main into a hateful massmurderer, which in my opinion is worse. This book finds an acceptable (even interesting and innovative, I think) middle ground between altruistic superman and homicidal maniac. For the world building, I quite honestly don’t know which is original and which has its origins in the game. So although lovely I will refrain from any comments. But what I can judge is the interactions between the characters in the world, there conversations, attitudes, relationships, and I can say that I feel submerged in a world that is not earth. What I do struggle with, but that is really small, is the writing style as sometimes I find the same words repeated over in a narrative passage (a personal ire taught to me since elementary school). But let us be real, it would not be a problem in the myriad of different, much worse, originals, so it won’t be one for me here either. You know what the say, when everything’s perfect, the mistakes just turn more glaring, and what would never ge an issue in mediocrity can be in great works. So I will leave my review at 5 stars. No less, no more. I think this may have gotten me into si-fi ^^’

Well it is a great story, nice details and such, although a bit too much drama for my tastes. Still I noticed that you included some details in starbound mods that actually make sense. Although their is a detail I noticed, I don't believe Novakids have mouths. And there are a few spelling errors scattered around. Still not bad, definitely something to read.

Que decir, me flipan estas historias y las demás críticas me convencieron, supongo que editare ésto cuando me ponga al día con el fic. Also, me re jugué starbound unas 5 veces, de seguro que me emocionarme con esas referencias :D

Wild megane-ojisan spotted! It used Review! It's super effective! Hey, it's a sci-fi fanfic which actually got me hankering to play the game it's based on lol. That, in itself, speaks volumes about the work. The work you put in with introducing the overall setting and lore is worthy of applause. And the fanfic itself is engaging enough. The grammar is good. It just has some hiccups occasionally, but not enough to detract from the reading experience. All in all, a stellar read. Great job!

Simply amazing! I am not a great fan of fanfiction novels but this one is stunningly well made. I really don't understand why this marvelous novel don't have more reviews. Come on readers! If you appreciate this work then do a review. Its only five minutes of your time and you would be encouraging the Author to continue to work hard! Extensive World Background descriptions and lore. Good Character Design; they feel lifelike and interesting. The story develop nicely and there is a balanced mix of action and discovery. The stability of updates is great and the writing quality its above the average novel. I totally recommend this novel to everyone who loves science fiction.

Please excuse my poor english, This is the second starbound fanfic i've ever read, and if you're tired of those wuxia, cultivator, and those narcissistic prick then i shall say this novel may be perfect for you. And don't worry if you not familiar with the lore or never play starbound before, the author kindly covered and explained it all (and chucklefish may gain another starbound player). So far, The story is following the canon, with a bit spice of lore and interstellar conflict. And i can't be amazed of how underrated this novel is, i mean it's not everyday you can read sci-fi fanfic in this website. But to be honest, starbound lore is full of hole, the overpowered personal warping and teleportation, the races background, device mechanism, and i hope the author explain the outpost in details, i mean a dimensional HUB is should be gigantic, sprawling cities, advanced ship in the port, armory of advanced tech, or maybe that's why they call it "outpost". I think The author should add his own lore, or fill it with crossover or better yet maybe mods, i'm sure it will give him the idea to progress the story other than the canon. Other than that it's all good, just need a bit of realism. And i love this novel, hope you the best. I don't mean to act bossy, and cocky. But if you found this review offending then please send me letter, i will apologize properly.

I'm going to be a little dishonest here and myself a complete 5 star. Well... I'm primarily writing this review to thank all those who are already reading my novel or plan to read it. The novel will probably be divided in two or possibly three parts. The first part of the novel will go from the Volume 1 to possible Volume 7 or 8; this part is going to follow the story of the game, with some changes and a lot of spicy conflicts. The second part is still being planned, but it is going to be a continuation of the first part. As for release schedule, well... I try to make it once a day. I don't have stockpile of chapter, I publish the chapters as I write them on the same moment.
