It gets better and better!! I am sooo invested in this story now. And Alex in particular! You did a great job with her backstory with Andi and making me really root for them!
I also loved the humour in this chapter!
> "Now that everything is squared away"
Was that an intentional pun? 😂 I also thought it was equally cute and hilarious how she tried to talk to the sheep and the various animals she encountered. At the same time, as the sun was starting to set I was (internally) screaming for her to find shelter!! I was actually so nervous for her. But I'm glad that she certainly seems like she can take care of herself! I guess she's the top ranger for a reason!
I really liked how well trained she seems. Like how even when encountering the Zombie she still kept to protocol and tried her best to communicate and de-escalate the situation. All in all, a really well written character.
I'm excited to read more soon! I'm very curious as to how much of the Minecraft lore is going to be worked into the story. It's interesting that the crafting table was something she brought, rather than something from the planet. But it makes sense now that I think about it! I'm curious to see how the crafting will be described in subsequent chapters. I'm also so looking forward to her trying (and mostly failing) to talk to the Villagers 😅.
It makes me very happy that you are so invested in the story and with Alex and Andi. I love them so much and Andi will be the person that anchors Alex through all of this even though she is so far away.
I accidentally wrote "squared away", but saw it when I was editing and absolutely had to include it. I couldn't stop laughing myself when I wrote the sheep scene. Jokes on me that the Minecraft Movie would also do the same thing 😹
We, as players, all know to run for shelter when the sun sets. Alex has to such knowledge and must learn through trial by fire. She isn't a noob though by any means. She is a capable ranger and that is why she was picked for this; she was the most qualified to survive.
For the rest of this fic, I am going to have to do a lot of my own interpretations of the Minecraft lore so that is does fit into this world, but a lot of it will be very familiar.
The Crafting table had to be brought in from off planet as Alex doesn't have the ability to pull up a menu screen whenever she wants, so it was definitely pragmatic at this point. You will definitely get to see how the Crafting Table works in the next couple of chapters. Hopefully it'll make sense.
