Back on Earth, Jacob hadn’t been a common attendant of his local church. He thought that churches in Florida were too ‘woke’, so he preferred spending his time on Sunday by ranting online about how Western civilization was collapsing or whatever.
However, things had changed when he had found himself on Gemeinplatz. The Temple of the Divine h...

This is the first chapter of the side-project that I've just announced (it has a title now: 'Ordinary Maid, Extraordinary Realm'). I plan on releasing this chapter publicly in around two weeks.
I'll only be working on this project if I have free time after writing the weekly John Brown Isekai: taking a step back and temporarily focusing on something helps a writer to not burn out. So, don't worry, the schedule won't be affected at all an...

The schedule of the John Brown Isekai won't be affected in any way, shape or form; you can safely ignore this announcement if you're not interested in this new work.
