Getting the opportunity to read and review Outcasts of Ororovon honestly felt surreal to me. As someone who grew up watching the author's LpsTube series when it was Experiment 42 (Which this a version of that series, just book format) this book means so much more to me than just another story I've read before. I remember being a kid completely hooked on every single episode, waiting excitedly for the updates that would come out! Back then, LpsTube was such a huge part of my childhood, and Experiment 42 was one of those stories that truly stayed with me over the years.
So when I received a message from Ace asking if I’d be interested in reading and reviewing Outcasts of Ororovon, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. What I love most while I was reading was seeing just how the world and ideas I once watched through little Lps Characters have grown into something even bigger and more immersive. You can still feel the same creativity, emotion, and passion that made so many people fall in love with the original series in the first place, but now it's been expanded into a deeper and more mature story that longtime fans can appericate in a whole new way.
Reading this book honestly brought me back to why I love storytelling so much while I was growing up. There's something really emotional about seeing a creator you admired as a kid continue pursuing their passions and turning it into something this incredible years later.
“This has to be Lydia,” or “Oh my gosh, this is definitely Perry.” It was such a fun and emotional experience recognizing characters I grew up loving and seeing them reimagined from the world of Experiment 42 into an actual world with a name Outcasts of Ororovon. going from that tiny little green caterpillar LPS I remembered as a kid to a character that truly felt like his own person within the story. Moments like that made this book such a nostalgic and special experience for me as a longtime fan.
Overall, Outcasts of Ororovon was such a nostalgic piece of work that made me fall in love all over again with everything I once adored about Experiment 42 back when it was an LPSTube series on YouTube years ago. It genuinely made me so happy to see just how descriptive, emotional, and immersive Ace’s writing still is — to the point where I found myself completely pulled into the story all over again, only this time through pages instead of film. The only reason I gave this book a 4.5/5 instead of a full 5 is because I simply wanted more and didn’t want it to end. As an old fan, that feeling honestly says everything! And I hope I get asked to read the next one when it's ready!
- Always Proud of you Ace.

Review of advance copy
This is a very captivating book and I finished it in one sitting. It's written in an accessible style and takes the reader along an interesting journey through dimensions and strange worlds. The main character, an inventor, lost his experiments in another dimension/world and is on a quest to get them back. Along the way he meets his interesting companions. The story itself is like a mix of Harry Potter, Doctor Who and Lord of the Ring.
Appearantly the book is based on a YouTube series from 10 years ago from the author, but having never watched that didn't make me enjoy this book any less. It's a completely stand-alone story, hinting towars a lot of sequels.
Although the book is targeted towards young adults, I'm in my fifties and enjoyed it immensly. Can't wait for the next part.

The Goonies meets Big Hero 6
Experiment 42: Outcasts of Orovoron is a wonderful YA book. In this coming of age story, the main character must overcome his weaknesses (and memory loss) to forge a new family of "myths and misfits."
There's lots of battles and magic and scientific inventions. There is a lot going on in the story, but the author brings it all together.
This story has themes of world building, found family , magic, good vs evil, unremarkable - yet remarkable hero. Suitable for the age description of 12+. All-in-all, an enjoyable YA fantasy.

The author is family, so I was a bit nervous about being an advanced copy reader knowing how critical I can be. I didn't need to be because this is honestly one of the best stories I have ever read. It is original, it is captivating, I could not put it down once Lenny wakes up on Orovoron. I laughed, I cried, I want the next one! This is going to be a classic.

Review of an ARC
3,5/5⭐️
The magical world is really cool and fascinating for sure! I cannot wait to see where this is going to be honest because I still have so many questions.
I’m still really confused and the only person a feel really connected to is Lydia.
