phenomen a book

When a tidal wave carries him into a medieval Japanese world full of fantastic "mon"-like creatures, American-dad Alan must quickly adapt before he is swept away by the tides of war. Original world with Pokemon-like elements, VERY light System - no blue boxes - and a strong emphasis on Japanese mythology. Some xianxia and martial arts elements. Slow burn, initially weak MC. Realistic depictions of characters, creatures, and semi-historical / mythological setting. [Participant in the 2023 Royal Road Writathon challenge!]
