[Complete] [55k] [Absurdist sci fi] The 42s

50k

Hey, I am a bit nervous about this but I am looking for anyone to read my novel. It is a comedy sci fi adventure, much akin to red dwarf crashing head first into the suicide squad. I have always dreamed about completing a story and after many attempts I have finally finished this one. I have wrote millions of poems and short stories over the years but this is my first full length, which I half deleted and rewrote in the 59th draft.

I am more than happy to return the favour for anyone willing to spend the time. I'm not even sure what sort of feedback I am looking for, just someone to actually read the story and tell me whether it is good or needs alot more work.

Blurb:

After a domestic spat sends him fleeing across dimensions, a terminally ordinary baker must join a team of misfit intergalactic officers to stop a vengeful rogue agent from systematically deleting every universe in the multiverse.

The novel deals with the growth of a simple, inquisitive man thrown into a wild adventure where he can’t understand anything. We watch Oliver Todd find his feet and thrive as he deals with monsters, chaos, and nonsense bureaucracy, all while trying to find a place where he finally belongs.
