The American Dream: A Modern Officer Sent to the Revolutionary War
4.52 (21 ratings)
Synopsis
Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill begins. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation upholds its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning.
Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improve from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you are interested in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off initially, I promise that the story improves quickly. Some early details were accidentally left out, as I wrote the first two chapters a year before writing the third chapter.

I really wanted to like this. It was a unique concept but i just found it turning really stupid. He tells so many people he is from the future, which already makes this unbearable. The writing isnt great either. If you dont mind that kind of stuff, give it a shot.
This story Is some of the best stuff I ever read and Found on this app or website. It tells how the main character proves himself with improving his relationship with his troops he meets iconic characters like General Arnold and also goes to the future which was affected by Kimโs actions.
I really like I first found it on Scrabblehub and have really enjoyed it. I like how he doesn't try and rule with an iron fist or try to keep the knowledge to himself and all the inventions.
sorry but your forgetting one key thing America was founded by pirates, fallen nobles , and corrupt officials. your writing is great but it does not qualify as kingdom building Long Live britain ๐ฌ๐ง
I'll be honest, I just wish the guy was immortal so he could be the "Watcher" they wanted. tgcfytcrfcrfcyhvytvnbzuirnbfgauiegbnerujgniuganeiru
I have completely read your thread on the Alternate History wiki.. Didn't know that you have posted it on Royal Road too!! Well, happy to see this gem of an ASB storyline here.. :D

This story is a resoundingly awesome work of literature. Dialog, grammar, and action are all great. Very nice work OP, this is super cool.
I just gave this a 4 star because from what I briefly read it has a good grammar. there was no point in revealing that he is from the future like at all. I just read until he said that and I automatically dropped because I donโt like seeing stupid stuff like that. Also from the other review I read it said that he revealed multiple times that he is from the future so itโs a automatic drop for me but if you like mcs revealing theyโre from the future then this is your cup of tea.
Reveal Spoiler
An excellent read! Recently caught up to the latest chapter, will be interesting to find out more about the unnamed benefactor, as well as the potential of a future war with Spain/Gran Colombia over the remaining present-day west-coast America. *Marked as spoiler only because as of right now, I'm not sure if I'm potentially spoiling more of what may lie ahead*

I would honestly say this story is so enticing. Like the way the story structure is so unique and different from the rest of the novels out there. I really recommend giving this a shot even though it starts off a little bit slow the story really pulls you in. I wonโt give any spoilers but itโs a very different read but definitely recommend.

I understand this is probably going to be taken down for not having perfect rating like most writers do on this app but I just have to be honest. This story started strong and was interesting for a while but at some point it went from a good story with a good premise to an info dump of useless information and glossing over major world events. for whatever reason America became a cowardly nation that accepts being disrespected by China and is scared of a collapsing Spain that is in open Civil War and accepts Americans being murder, despite being this economic and military superpower. It's a story based around the U.S but the only interesting things that are happening is in France. the entire story is constantly being spoiled by the writer because for whatever reason tells you exactly what happens before going into slightly more detail in the next 2 chapters. So everything that goes on in the story doesn't come as a surprise unless you are constantly skipping chapters. The main character was relegated to a side character that is rarely if ever mentioned. After the Revolutionary War this story just falls off hard. Apparently the chapters about the French war is from another writer so most interesting progress that's happening in the story is from someone else.
Author does amazing at writing this. Feel like some of the characters are actually there instead of someone pushing their views onto them. Updates are worth the wait I just got back to 100+ more chapters ๐ And Iโm still waiting for more this story is amazing and I hope it keeps going. Well done. ๐
Not gonna lie this is pretty underated this needs more attention and please don't jinx me that you will drop this or something.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Don't Drop!!!
