No not the race, just the starting continent and village. Tia noted that race's normally start on there own continent to make things easier, hence why John is having issues even getting into the first village.
Don't worry the human punishment is coming up soon, after all the two hours that Tia gave before has not passed.
Also the novel wont just be mostly in game like a lot of others, there will be a mixture of Atlantia and Genesis.
Thanks for the compliment m, I am enjoying writing this, the reason for the slow update is because I am writing them at work 🤣 and then editing and updating at home later.
As for the fighting we are almost at the point he enter Genesis so don’t worry
