Interesting concept... I'll see this through

Me gusta el concepto de la historia. Like

It was as if they were caught in a loop, oscillating between the simplicity of babyhood and the complexity of their past. Each memory a thread woven into the fabric of my being.

Joel sifts through his mind recalling the faces of those he once knew. Some barely left an impression beyond a name and a fleeting interaction, while others were integral to his journey, their presence brightening my days.

Joel surrendered to the silence that awaited me. The thought of being whisked away to Heaven had lingered in his mind, a comforting notion despite his lack of religious affiliation.

Each recollection is a testament to a life lived fully, yet it also highlights the void he now feels, a longing for the warmth of those experiences that once defined me.

It's a unique premise, so I'll see where it goes.
Although I'm not sure what to think about it being a Lit-RPG yet. (lit-rpg is a genre common on sites such as royal road, in which the isekai protagonist is granted an "interface" that behaves like an rpg game, this generally comes with discrete stats, levelling, skills, and spells.) It's not a bad genre, but it's not common on fimfiction, and aspects of an interface can break immersion when used in a setting not optimised for it.

There are a few minor errors in there as well. Mostly a mixing of past with present tense. There's a usage of "me" where a first-person POV is undefined. And the part where the baby climbs the brother's back, as the sister cries, is semi-duplicated.

The concept of the story is interesting, I wonder if this will develop well or badly but regardless of that... I liked it. Like:moustache:

Did the mom not transfer with them? Can’t wait to find out.

what:rainbowhuh: they all get to go into heaven, but mom has like a secret past where she killed a bunch of people so she's playing ping pong with Satan😈🏓🤦

Hmm did the mom die at an earlier and is already there ahead of them, maybe they would have a surprise reunion later? Hmmmmm if.. a massive IF its along that angle perhaps it's one of the two white and blue alicorns? A possibility, perhaps. Cant wait to see what you do with this.

I’ve honestly never heard of this story nor have I read it. And it depends on the concept.

12115946
Basically a human male transforms into an alicorn filly in a world of Alicorns. The concept seems similar but unfortunately the author died before he could finish it. So that’s why I ask.

12115951

Well, the only difference between that story and this one is that besides Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, and Flurry Heart, the family are in a normal world of MLP.

12115953
Normal being the time of the show?

12115963
Oh boy I can’t wait to see how Celestia reacts and explains the alicorn family to her kingdom.

Well this blew up quite large and plenty of people are excited for more including me :scootangel:

I like this opening, keep it up!

Joel shifted his gaze towards his daughter’s voice and his eyes widened. He stared at his daughter standing before him, however, her appearance was shockingly different. No longer did she have the appearance of a young teenage girl, rather she had the body of a young alicorn pony. She was a beautiful mare with a long brown mane with bangs on both sides, a pink fuchsia coat, and blue eyes. Despite her change in appearance, Joel immediately recognized her as Sarah.

Pink fuchsia? Isn't that redundant?
Well, there are several shades of that, i suppose.

He faked his death and made an alt account with a story farming his faked death. Was confirmed months ago by the mods (same IP and such).
Also AI story.

Like the others have said, interesting concept, dude! Looking forward to the next step in the family’s story. Oh, this is only one of a handful of stories where the first time around I’m hyped by just the first chapter alone! Coolio, and God be with ya, Author Shimmer!

“Are you guys thinking what I’m thinking?” Joel asked. Matthew stared down at the ground.

"I think they're thinking what you think they're thinking!"

"If you're thinking what I think you're thinking that they're thinking, thenm I'm thinking that we shouldn't just be thinking. Uh... what do you think?"

Those who get that reference get a virtual cookie.

“What your brother said makes sense,” Joel said, trying to stand up on all fours. His children’s gaze followed him as he stood up. “I don’t know if this is the doing of some higher being, or some twisted fate. But one thing is for sure. I don’t know what kind of world we’re in, but whether we like it or not, this is our home now. We’ve been given a second chance, and I say we should take it. Because I believe it’s what your mother would’ve wanted for us, if she was still here.”

Perché non entrambi? (That's, uh, "Why not both?" in Italian.)

Looking forward to more!

Unique and a giod read so far. Curious how you continue the story

12116111
Really, got any links? Not doubting, just sounds interesting to peruse.

12116403
Some of the conversation is still here. Most of it was in the now deleted blog post where he made the fake announcement.

This is one of his alt accounts. The similar AI generated avatars were part what got me on the case back when it happened.

12116422
I see, I don't know how I missed this, but somehow I manage to miss a lot of things on this site despite how long I've been on it. Thanks for the details.

A blue interface suddenly popped out of existence in front of Joel.

Do you mean into?

I really like this, Ive never seen a whole family be isekaied. I know its just the first chapter but Im cant grasp the personalities too well.
This premise is pretty interesting and Im glad youre gonna change their names it helps immersion and its fun seeing what they come up with! Pony names are pretty interesting. Blah blah anyways looking forward to next chapter. Your grammar and spelling are good :pinkiehappy:

Wait this is gonna be written as an rpg, interface mechanics,leveling up and all?

12117270
Well it is based on manga and that's really popular in manga

12117735
Yeah i know but is that gonna translate well to ponies? Is it going to replace the way magic is used in equestria? Is twilight sparkle and others gonna be using interface two? Its going to look silly looking and i dont how i feel about it.

12117941
Well it really depends how the writer uses it, maybe it will let them do commands, maybe it will tell them what they should do, maybe it will be basically an encyclopedia, hell you could be creative and make it a physical object, that could be some fun uses. But there's a lot of ways to make it

Everything is just wonderful!
Write more!!!

but the system needs to be removed - it violates the created “sacrament” of the above-written story.

12117955
Ehh maybe im just being a negative nance then, maybe the author can make it work. Hopefully i can get used to this "system",

12118431
I could see it working if everyone has the “system” but only these four have an advanced version of it. Even if not maybe it will be flexible and they can use regular magic and the system is more of a training tool. Also curious what timeline they arrived in.

I had a dream about reading something like this ages ago so I'm definitely hooked

Pinkie Pie already knew about them

“Oh, heck yeah!” Sarah shouted, leaping high in the air out of joy.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” Matthew said, pulling his hooves away from his face and stared forward. “Out of all worlds that we could’ve been reincarnated in, it has to be this one? Of all things?!”

Let's hear it for Yin and Yang. :ajbemused:

“More like an rpg,” Ray replied.

Even more like an Isekai anime.

Number 1: Teach the villagers the modern language.

Nail: [speaking Namekian] Ah. It seems we must speak the Universal Language. English.

Failure to complete this quest within seventy-six days will result (in) the villagers and the village (recieving) a great
Penalty

That's an oddly specific length of time. :unsuresweetie:

Question will you do the mlp episodes or not

Great chapter!

I appreciate your decision to focus on the family for now, that way we can establish their personalities and how they interact with each other.

It seems as if the system is pushing them to interact further with the world, as the the new quest is so they can start to work with other ponies. And how will they react to a family of alicorns?

Ooh! This is looking to be a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to seeing what (if any) aspects each of the alicorns represent in contrast to each other and the canon ones! So far I think light/dark and creation/destruction (or maybe the seasons, but that seems underwhelming and this chapter did not follow that theory a lot with their powers lol)

Hoping to see more of it soon!

Well, this is interesting.
