FANTASY
THE GODSVERSE CHRONICLES
Complete or Ongoing? ONGOING
Genre: PORTAL FANTASY
Prose or Comic? PROSE
Free or Paid: FREE
The Godsverse is a universe where all gods are real, but they are kind of useless dicks, just like the old gods from mythology. They aren't all-powerful, all-knowing, or all-benevolent. They just kind of sucked, like the humans they ruled. In the Godsverse, when a new habitable world is formed, all the gods from all pantheons come to make sure that it's functional and sustainable. They help humanity, fragile and weak creatures, flourish in the harsh universe. That's why there were so many god sightings in the past
Once a world is sustainable, then the gods move on to the next world, leaving one god in charge as regent. Some gods are good rulers. Some are not so great. Others downright suck. The Godsverse is portal fantasy, with mythological gods and action-adventure tendencies. It is fast-paced, full of plot twists, and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
