I absolutely loved the blue line at the beginning of the book and advanced to the red line later on. As for the black line, well, the committed crime was just too much for me and the entire vibe in that line was depressing

I agree; I liked the Blue Line a lot, and Garry from the Blue line was my favorite character. Also, the events in the Blue Line were much more interesting.

I agree that the blue line was the best, it was also the one I found more interesting and entertaining. The black line had the crime on it, which made me dislike the Gary on that line, but I found it also interesting because it gives us a different perspective of the story.

The Black line Garry in my opinion is to be blamed for the murder, He was the most ideal protagonist but if it wasn't for the black line Garry, the story won't have been this interesting.

You are not alone. My favorite was the Blue line, the one in the beginning. Maybe it was the beginning or the site of the incident or something else, but I felt connected to that line. Also yes, the Red Line was my second favorite!

The blue line was my favorite line. It was a happier, more wholesome timeline and I hated the horrible twist that it had to take for the story to proceed. Black line Gary while a necessity for the book, was an awful individual and I hated him immensely.

In truth, it did seem confusing at first. However, when i tried to choose one worldline, i didnt get to enjoy the story to the fullest. So reading it as it was made me enjoy it.

I also really loved the blue line alot. Although, i didn't confine myself to it, i explored the other worldlines too. I mean its only normal to, after all we are talking a many worlds scale here.

The blue line Gary was my favorite from start. It was the original story line and so I was already in love with Gary and Mitchell from the very start.

The blue line was also my favourite. I also didn't really enjoy the black line Gary because I found it extremely tragic, but I didn't find it confusing or anything, just sad

Mine was the Blue line. But I also like the broken down character of Gary from the black line. So I would eagerly wait for the chapter with this line.

I don't know how having a favorite worldline could help with the confusion :lol2: but mine was Blue Line because of how much Gary's fate in that worldline impacted me. As for the other worldlines, I just love how they showed the different sides of not just Gary but also the side characters. I'm always prepared to see badly written side characters but I love how the author built this cast and their world.

I love Blue Line, too but mainly because of how things went towards the ending. I'm not sure yet if I'd say it was more interesting than the others, though, especially since the other worldlines offered a different side for the characters. I say "different" but they may actually be more intense and thrilling.

Right?! The Blue Line is my favorite, too but if we're going to talk about the levels of interest the different worldlines get, the others wouldn't be far off. I guess it's because we have a "main" worldline in our head, and the rest gives that excitement and curiousity of what things look like in another world.

I think you meant antagonist? Instead of protagonist? I wouldn't say that he's the antagonist, though. For someone to be an antagonist, he has to be fighting against the protagonist. In your case, I guess blueline!Gary would be the protagonist? Well, blackline!Gary wasn't trying to fight him. This is a good example of man versus nature kind of story, since they're all trying to deal with the universe and its physics and their fate.
