World Wright Incorporated
Crash landing in an alternate reality with no hope of rescue, a research team of eight highly educated and accomplished but woefully ill equipped scientists find themselves struggling to carve out a new home in a harsh new world. In this bronze age meets fantasy world of city states and magic, will these early twenty first century explorers be able to survive without all of their customary tools and technology to rely on? Will they be able to build a future for themselves that is worth living or will life prove to be like much of history, brutish, painful, and short?

Did not finish. I got about halfway through and quit.
This has no real building or development, it is all social interaction. Poorly scripted and heavily forced social interaction. Nothing seems genuine, it is very railroaded. The character actions do not match the personalities, the reasoning behind that point is very, very flimsy.

A good time travel novel
I have just finished the book and I noticed it didn't have enough reviews so I thought I'd leave one. If you liked the books like the 1632 series or the cross time engineer series than you might like this one as well. This book has more in common with the cross time engineer than any other time travel series I've read. It's basically about a group of people being thrown into an alternative reality of earth where civilization hasn't progressed passed the bronze age and how they try and make a life for themselves. The stories itself is interesting and the different character perspectives helps keep me engaged throughout. I highly recommend to give this book a try.

An pleasant escape
This is a short book but it's good. I finished it in one sitting. Don't expect a literary masterpiece. It's all lean meat with no fat. It gets right to the point and it's interesting. The characters are fun and their inventions are fun to read about. It's super unrealistic but that's why you're here so don't complain. I'm going to finish this entire series in a week, I just know it.

I liked the story, but...
Two pilots and a handful of older, highly educated scientists get "shipwrecked" on a planet whose civilization seems to be bronze age with magic thrown in.
Besides having no way to return to their own world, they have all aged backward about 12 years.
The Robinson Crusoe aspect of the story is fascinating, and the very type of story I enjoy. Unfortunately, more than a third of the plot seems to come from a young man's sexual fantasy. It isn't explicit, so it isn't too hard to ignore.
There is a lot of unnecessary crude language, although some of it is hilarious. (The younger pilot walking away from destroying an enemy makes for a great picture in my head!)
There are many typos. Someone needs to go through and thoroughly line edit. But that is easily overlooked as well - it just causes work for the reader, when you have to re-read a portion a couple times to figure out what is going on.
I recommend this book for mature readers who don't mind the coarse language or constant references to characters' sex lives. (As if that is going to be your top priority in such a situation.)

Different kind of story
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were great and the plot was straightforward. Please keep writing more of these stories. Thanks.😁

"World Wright" is more like an outline than a novel.
It's a "high tech group gets dropped into a primitive world" book. Most such books get into the challenges of survival and advancement with plenty of knowledge but few materials and a society with no manufacturing infrastructure. "World Wright" glosses over just about everything.
The group in on a plane / interdimensional transport. We never learn why the group is onboard, what they planned to do, or why it's a plane if it's an interdimensional vehicle.
The plane crashes, for reasons unknown. In between the chapters, a week goes by, and the group suddenly gains both a forge and a full set of plate armor. The book just skips over little details like setting up living quarters, setting up a forge with no materials, and crafting plate armor (in under a week!) with no tools.
Early in the book we learn that passengers are all geniuses, with lists of IQs for every member. Yet many of them behave like catty teenagers, not adults.
The group trades with the local primitive village. After the second trade, the trading group comes back with a harem of teenage girls for the main character. This just sort happens off stage in between chapters. No explanation of why, or why the trading group goes along with this. The girls are enthusiastic about this for no apparent reason.
At that point, it felt like the author didn't want to bother with the effort of actually fleshing anything out, and just wanted to skip to the part where the protagonist gets a harem. That's when I stopped reading.

Incel dreaming?
I got to 55%, and couldn't take anymore.
If a character is sexist, that might be part of a plot, and acceptable as such. The same with crude language. I can agree that people in a difficult situation would swear, probably a lot.
But this is different. The author thinks it is right, just and fair that his characters, stranded in an ice age world, has the right to collect women, several women each, just to have as much sex as they like. To coearce them to change to suit these men. He justifies it by stating that the men are taking care of them. Because this is good and natural.
That they teach them English instead of learning the native language. Of course! That they set about killing more animals than they can eat, skinning more hides than they can use? Building up capital. Becoming the leaders of all the natives? Natural!
I enjoyed how they overcame the initial difficulties. After that, the pace of innovation, the industrialisation is just not believable.
And I need believable, even in fantasy.
Nota Bene, this is not science fiction. They got where they are by natural fluke.
Don't waste your time and money. Life is too short to read bad books.

Great Story, horrible editing
It’s a good story. A group of elite from an advanced Earth are stranded on a planet in the Bronze Age. They introduce technology to the natives and try to stake a foothold for themselves.
The writing is okay with the pace and whatnot, but there are weird sentences that don’t make sense here and there. There is also a lot of punctuation mistakes and out of place perception changes to and from different characters. It desperately needs a good, heavy edit.

Excellent, one of the better books in the genre
Lately I've been enjoying books in this genre: modern people stranded in an earlier time, or in a distant world or in a parallel universe version of the same, and must use their knowledge of technology to build lives for themselves from scratch.
Within that genre, this is among one of the better ones I've read. I'm also glad to see it's a series of multiple books, giving plenty of room for the story to develop.
If you like scifi/fantasy books it's worth a try.

Something different, and good
Really hits the ground running, with very little wasted on setting the scene. There are some autocorrect and word substitution issues, but once you get past the technicalities, it's a great read. Really enjoyed the story arc, and looking forward to reading the next one.

I loved it
I wasn't sure at first but I really ended up liking this story so many times in stories like this the time displaced hold onto there old world and old values and miss out its annoying and frankly dumb. In this story the characters do what they were always going to need to do and adapt and quickly.

World Wright Incorporated: book 1
I really enjoyed this book. Definitely had a different flavour from other science-fiction books. It is interesting and that it draws you into the characters.

Another entertaining cross time engineer genre series.
Start of a so far entertaining series. A bit short & sudden ending. However, it's good to know that several additional chapters to the series are" in print. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

Great story
I read this book for free but I still say its a great story. The beginning is very unexpected as is the end. And really the whole middle is just too cute.
A little more editing and I will have to read it again.

Wow
Dimensional and time traveler (marooned?) is always my favorite genre ever since I read classic like HG Wells and Eric Flint. And this series really hold itself nicely in this theme.

Excellent read
A group of modern scientists and their two pilots travelling in space, go through a calamity that makes them all young and strands them on a bronze age Greek island. How they survive and thrive in their new life is the story.

Could have been better and be prepared because it is very sexist.

Needs an Editor
I generally liked the story, but there were too many distractions from word choices and misspelt names. Could really use an editor.

This was an interesting idea that was only superficially developed and had several worrying problems.
I wasn’t sure why the author had the main character collecting a ’Harem’ of young girls it seemed to be more about the author’s own wishful thinking. This became even more of a problem as young girls kept getting ‘sold’ to members of the group.
I kept going hoping there would be some sensible development to the story, but in the end I had to admit this was puerile nonsense and had to give up.
