The many world theory does not appeal to everyone. Would it be possible though to merge all the worldlines into one single story after the first book?k_madhu_jha wrote: ↑19 Jul 2021, 03:52 I want Gary not to be convicted of his girlfriend's murder.

It would be boring if it'll just be a different person that has a storyline the same as Gary's, though. It would be better if it's a different cast, telling the story of interesting circumstances that would rise from the multiverse being real. The sequel is already out, though, but I haven't read it yet.

Aah, that's interesting. I didn't perceive Gary as the vengeful type. The first book didn't indicate any sign that he would, either. I was hoping that the author would introduce a new cast but I guess that's too much to ask for.

The story didn't explore time traveling, though. But I guess you can literally do whatever you want because everything is possible. It'd be boring though if the story was just him undoing what he did; there has to be some conflict there.Emidio Mikwate wrote: ↑20 Jul 2021, 06:21 I would hope to see time travels, maybe that would help Gary go back in time and prevent himself from committing the brutal murder.

I dont see a way to that. Even if there is, then the whole point of the first book would be vain. So its second book is definately going to be lije the first, only better i presume.ROSEYANN wrote: ↑30 Jul 2021, 01:25The many world theory does not appeal to everyone.

I just realized that it would be unusual for a series to have different casts of characters for each book, so we'll probably still have Gary and the others for the sequel. The title of the sequel is "The Futility of Vengeance"; I'm curious about who or what is going to cause the conflict.

That's kind of harsh. I mean, who knows, right? Though, yeah, time travel would really be one of the unexpected things to happen to that world since it wasn't even mentioned in the first book.

Indeed if the author uses a similar storyline would not only be boring but also disappointing. I for one wouldnt want to read stuffs like that. And i really hooe for something spectacular.lavkathleen wrote: ↑30 Jul 2021, 22:54It would be boring if it'll just be a different person that has a storyline the same as Gary's, though.

It bothered me a little that he didn't have to go through the things that blueline!Gary had to go through. But I remember what he had to endure all his life after the accident... and that makes me hold back. But yeah, still. The next book is entitled "The Futility of Vengeance" so who knows, you might be close.

I'm sure it'll be cleared up once you start reading. It just depends on whose perspective we're looking at, which context. We know blueline!Gary is innocent, but the court decided that he's guilty and convicted him. We know blackline!Gary is the person who actually killed Michelle, although he never meant to do it in real life.

Do you mean the one from The Blue Line? They're all lucid dreamers since they've all crossed between worldlines so I'm confused. But blackline!Gary is the one who needs a lesson so that must be it. I guess the only lesson he needs is to not do anything stupid while he's in a dream, since he wasn't aware the first one. And also heal from all his trauma so he doesn't hurt anyone whether it's through the dreams or not.

In my head, they're still their own persons, therefore, different people. But you do have a point; I'd feel weird to confront myself in a different world. However, why would the cycle not end? It's only the two of them who had beef with each other. Would his other versions have reason/s to turn against him?Reema Aydieh wrote: ↑25 Jul 2021, 07:55 I’m not sure what to expect after what happened. The whole thing felt like Gary hating himself, (even though it’s a different Gary from a different line) so if he took revenge (would that be like committing suicide?) the cycle won’t end. I would love to see how the theory of interfering with a different timeline would affect all and changes the outcome. If so, does that mean there’s no hope for Gary after what happened? I would defiantly read the sequel.

Wow, I just replied to someone who thought the same way. You're just more aggressive. I still don't get how there's going to be a cycle or chain to his versions going after each other. This is if we only focus on blueline!Gary, since he's the main. How would his problem with his version in The Black Line trigger the revenge amongst the others?Vidhi Adhikari wrote: ↑25 Jul 2021, 11:41 Im expecting the sequel to have a chain of revenges between Garys from multiple worldlines that starts with Gary from the blue line targeting Gary from the black line. Im hoping that the book is chaotic and destructive proving how futile it is to get vengeance in a multiverse.
