Project Pandora
Set in a dystopian world, a thousand years after a destructive comet hit the Earth and wiped off almost all the civilizations and histories, Leo, a sixteen year old boy has been enduring a horrible life inside a new man-made world named Kahon. It is a small metal place with a shape of a box and located underground.
He lives in the lower layer of Kahon where people who failed to be a variant are put to be slaves and served the nobles from the two upper layers. Being oppressed and maltreated by the commanders of their military government, he wishes to reach the upper layer, where he can find the way out to the Earth's surface. Until there is a strange girl who accidentally puts a capsule in his pocket. Unknowingly, it is an unexpected gift that can give him ability to wrestle against the fiendish society they have. But, along with that said ability, it can also release either truth or more lies in his world, depending on how he will use it and who will he believes in.

Maganda ang pinaka-plot at konsepto ng Project Pandora pero hindi na ito bago. (Wala naman talagang bago lol). Una pa lang bubungad na agad ang tipikal na balangkas ng isang dystopian book: caste system/class division, survival, Chosen One/Hero, desire to overthrow the government or change the system at iba pang tropes/cliches na pamilyar ka na kung marami kang nabasang dystopian books na nagboom noong 2013-2015. Wala namang masama rito pero naghahanap lang talaga ako ng bago sa ngayon.
Gayunpaman, nagtagumpay pa rin ang Project Pandora na magbigay ng satisfying na Filipino-made dystopian book.
Napukaw pa rin ako sa storyline at pacing ng libro. Tama lang ang bilis ng nga pangyayari pero may kulang sa character development lalo na sa mga minor characters. Parang naging kasangkapan lang sila para magningning ang main character.
Nabigla ako sa mga dahas at dugo. May pagka-brutal pero ok na rin. Amazing nga ang action at fight scenes. Isa sa nagustuhan ko sa libro.
Na-confuse nang kaunti dahil may pumasok na powers na di ko inasahan. Akala ko advancement lang sa technology ang magaganap pero hindi pala.
Medyo nakulangan lang ako sa back story kung paano humantong ang lahat sa Kahon. Nakulangan din ako sa emotional attachment sa bida. Disconnected ako. Hindi ko sya ramdam.
Predictable ang main twist/revelation pero maganda ang pagkaka-execute so it's a yes pa rin.
Lastly, mas ok sana ang Project Pandora kung na-proofread. Repetitive ang ibang salita at 'thoughts' ng mga pangungusap. Nakaka-bother yung mga pangungusap na nasa di-pangkaraniwang ayos pati yung paggamit ng pangatnig.

My Rating: 3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐
Naisipan kong ilathala ang aking rebyu sa wikang tagalog sapagkat nais kong gamitin ang sarili nating wika sa pagtatalakay ng librong ito. Kapalit ng isang tapat na rebyu, nakataggap ako ng eARC ng libro ngunit ang lathalaing ito ay aking binasa sa orihinal at naisapublikong kopya.
Isa na namang kagalakan ss aking puso ang makabasa ng isang likhang Pilipino. Katulad ng nasa iba kong paglalahad ng hinaing sa aking mga nabasa, ako'y sadyang natutuwa at namamangha sa literaturang mayroon tayo.
Masasabi kong ang Project Pandora ay isa sa mga lathalain na kumuha sa aking atensyon. Katulad ng ibang Dystopian na pagsulat, ang Project Pandora ay tumatalakay kung gaano kasalimuot ang buhay na kinagagalawan ng mga karakter sa loob ng isang mundo na tinatawag na Kahon na nahahati sa tatlong lebel ang Hiraya, Bughaw at Balwarte. Sa librong ito ay makikita ang pagpupursigi ng bida (Leo) na makatakas sa lugar na kanyang kinatatayuan. Sakripisyo at pag asa ang mga salitang namutawi sa aking isipan nang natapos ko itong basahin.
Gusto kong purihin ang konsepto ng storya sapagkat ako'y nahumaling sa mga bagay na nakapaloob dito.Napaka angas ng mga labanan. Naramdaman ko kahit papaano ang katapangan, pagpupursigi at pagsusumikap ng bida na makamit ang tagumpay. Orihinal para sa akin ang konsepto ng Project Pandora pagdating sa paglalahad ng kapagyarihan ng bida. Isang exoskeleton na bumabalot sa kanyang katawan. Isang konsepto na bago sa akin bilang isang mambabasa.
Isa rin sa mga highlight ang 10 kumander na likha gamit ang ginetiko ng tatlong naunang variant na sina Archos, Obsidian at Leech. Bawat isa sa 10 kumander ay mga espesyal na mga abilidad na nagpakulay ng istorya.
Masaya ako sapagkat naiungos ni Krishmar Llorin ang pagpupursigi ng isang lathalaing Dystopian na lingid sa aking pananaw ay medyo limitado sa Literaturang Pilipino.
Gayunpaman, may ilan ilang bagay na anking napansin sa akdang ito.
Masasabi kong naging aksya ang pag "dedevelop" ng mga sub character. Isang bagay na sana ay pinagyabong muna bago gawin ang mga twist sa storya. May mangilan ngilan ding bagong karakter nakulang sa "Character development" na sa aking pananaw ay isang mainam na palawakin sapagkat isa sila sa mga pumupukaw ng atensyon sa nasabing storya. Mayroon ding mga maliit na detalye na para sa akin ay kwestyon at hanggang ngayon ay naghahanap pa din ako ng kasagutan ngunit marahil ang iba dito ay aking malalaman kapag nailabas nag ang pangalawang libro.
Hindi ko masabi ngunit nagbigay ito ng panibagong panlasa sa akin bilang mambabasa sa literaturang Pilipino.
Sa paglalahat at nagustuhan ko naman ang kabuuan ng storya lalo na yung rebelasyon sa pagtatapos.
Isa sa mga nais kong maisaayos sa librong ito ang mga tipikal na pagkakamali sa lathalain. Kung tutuusin hindi sya kalakihan upang ikonsidera sa pagmamarka ng libro ngunit naging nuisance sya habang ito ay aking binabasa. Umaasa ako na magawan ng paraan nawa i "proof read" ang libro at muling mailathala. Marahil kung ito ay maituwid mas magiging maaliwalas at maganda ang librong ito.
Inererekomenda sa mga naghahanap ng Pilipinong Literatura na kakaiba at maangas.

Disente ang konsepto pero hindi kakaiba. Lahat ng laman ng librong 'to ay nakita ko na rin sa iba pang dystopian books. Hindi rin naproofread ang librong ito, SOBRANG daming typos na sobrang nakakaapekto sa experience ko sa pagbabasa. Yung mga secondary characters ay hindi nabigyan ng character development dahil ginamit lang sila para magkaroon ng challenge or tulong si Leo, ang main character, na matulungan sa misyon niyang lumabas ng kahon. Kapag tapos na ang papel nila kay Leo, papatayin na sila. What a waste of characters lalo na't interesting ang iba sa kanila.
The premise or the world is interesting. Pero hindi maayos ang execution para sa akin. Alam mo yung oo, may kwento, pero parang kaunting hangin lang eh mabubuwag na yung istorya. I am excited to read this book nung binili ko pero ewan... nadisappoint ako.

This book has a really good premise. It’s just that the writing style is not that good. It could also use some more editing because there are some inconsistencies and a lot of typographical errors.

Unexpected characters and plot!

Can't wait for Book 2! Reading about a dystopian Philippines was really interesting especially how it tackles today's issues too.

Synopsis
Set in a dystopian world, a thousand years after a destructive comet hit the Earth and wiped off almost all the civilizations and histories, Leo, a sixteen-year-old boy has been enduring a horrible life inside a new man-made world named Kahon. It is a small metal place with the shape of a box and located underground.
He lives in the lower layer of Kahon where people who failed to be a variant are put to be slaves and served the nobles from the two upper layers. Being oppressed and maltreated by the commanders of their military government, he wishes to reach the upper layer, where he can find the way out to the Earth's surface. Until there is a strange girl who accidentally puts a capsule in his pocket.
Unknowingly, it is an unexpected gift that can give him the ability to wrestle against the fiendish society they have. But, along with that said ability, it can also release either truth or more lies in his world, depending on how he will use it and who will he believes in.
Before starting off this review, I’d like to thank Dex for hosting this blog tour, Kirshmar Llorin, and Viva Books for the opportunity to review this work.
As an avid reader of dystopian-themed stories, Krishmar Llorin has managed to weave a unique tale that sets a new branch of literature for Philippine Fiction. The story’s set hundreds of years in the future after a comet had nearly driven humanity into extinction. Surviving humans managed to rebuild society within a man-made world known as ‘Kahon’. The story follows the life of Leo, a sixteen-year-old living in the lower layer of Kahon and his burning desire to taste freedom outside the maltreatment of the government he has known for years. After an incident between a mystery girl he had met during his daily tasks, Leo’s life takes a drastic turn that would lead him to find that the freedom he seeks comes with a price that could change everything he ever knew.
When I’ve first heard of this book, curiosity and intrigue were my first impressions. An out-of-the-box type of theme in the Philippine Literature scene, I was curious to know more about Project Pandora. Reading the story, much to the title’s giveaway, I’ve come to a pleasant surprise to find certain Greek influences, such as mythological figures and words that are given new meaning through the book. The overall story tackles topics such as the suffocating grip of the power of the ruling class over the poor, corruption, and cruelty.
Creating a dystopian trope certainly comes with challenges, and hitting the right marks to make it work. For me, Project Pandora had risen to the challenge, and Krishmar Llorin managed to put the foundation towards that level of intricate world-building. He managed to solidify a good caste-system and introduced the three layers, Bughaw, Hiraya, and Balwarte of Kahon. With all that said, Project Pandora definitely has the potential to be a great series for Filipino readers and a good starting point to the dystopian trope in local literature.
That said, going forward from the first book, I still felt that the world Llorin established needed room to further expand and grow. I’m very critical when it comes to a story’s character development. One thing I’ve noticed through the chapters was the uneven balance of portrayal toward the minor characters, and even the antagonists. While I followed Leo’s perspective into the book, I felt a bit disconnected from his personality. He has his moments of strong-willed beliefs and righteous-driven actions, but sometimes he thinks a lot more emotionally than logically. I ended up predicting what would happen next and hitting the mark on plot twists.
Overall, the book has so much potential within the Filipino book community. Project Pandora is one of those stories that are still a bit rough around the edges but can definitely be polished into an interesting story that could very well diversify the young-adult genre in the Philippines.

My review as seen on my blog - Descendant of Poseidon Reads
Knowing Project Pandora is in line of my interest and in category I’m definitely cheering for, I begin consuming this intriguing book that turns out have a promising new look of world-building, known as Kahon (Box in English), staging with different aspects of issues from political, survival, abused, hierarchy, and many more, and introducing an ordinary protagonist that will rise to meet his dream he has wished for from the moment he has been deprived of it. There are lots of things I can tell how this book grows but I might give many details. About how inventive the setting of the story, well, it takes resourceful and imaginative research for it to be satisfied and matched with the development of a story. With this book in my nation’s language, it really is rare to see the book tag in the dystopian category. Honestly, I’m fond of that genre and I’m looking forward to this the instant I read the synopsis of this book.
I’m proud this type of genre is seeking some attention to our local authors and dystopian is somewhat not used to Filipino literature (I get to admit this book is the first one I feel the vibes oozing perfectly). There is a collective impression I have when every scene I encounter feels like in the other books known to this. The lucky nobody. The revolution. The life and death scene. The sacrifices. The traitor. The truth and lie. I expect these things already I just wait with how the construction of this book will work and Llorin is indeed great in accomplishing Project Pandora. Llorin gives his creation a new stand to the local literature and clever inputs to his debut novel.
Even with the greatness of the book, I still see some flaws for it especially the obvious typos I found (though I know it is an eARC). It would be excellent if this book goes with good proofreading. Though I’m still amazed by everything I experience.
All in all, Project Pandora gives a new taste for Filipino fiction and one to stay in touch for the next installation. This is a good call for fans of dystopian and loving our own local books. I hope you grab this book soon to your nearest bookstores or purchase online.

Project Pandora is a dystopian novel written by Krishmar Llorin. It’s a rare thing for me to read a dystopian novel locally written, and just by looking at the cover art, it seems like an enjoyable read and my cup of tea. Project Pandora didn’t fail in presenting what a dystopian society looked like: information, independent thoughts and freedom are restricted, citizens are under strict surveillance, & futuristic setting. Although some elements are already common, the overall idea and concepts are still really cool and unique. It is intriguing.

Disclaimer: The author, in collaboration with Dexter [Dexterous_Totalous], has given me an e-copy of the book as part of a PH blog tour in exchange for an honest review. All opinion are mine and mine alone.
The concept of the book was highly interesting but everything was dragged down by the lackluster character development, questionable plot holes, and the too descriptive narration that could have been done with more concise than dragging.

Iba ang lebel ng istorya ng Project Pandora. Isa ito sa mga favorite kong pinoy novel ngayon. Magaling na manunulat si Krishmar Llorin. Bilib ako sa mga eksena mula umpisa hanggang sa huli. Itong klase ng istorya na binabasa dapat ngayon ng mga kabataan dahil tinatalakay nito ang kapanahunan ng Pilipinas ngayon.

Maganda ang book na ito, madami lang syang typo at feeling ko hindi sya naproofread ng ayos, sayang. Maayos ang flow ng story, pero nakafocus yung kwento sa main character at kung paano sya makakalabas sa kahon.
Nagustuhan ko yung book, super. Noong una, nakakalito lang yung ideas about sa variant, pero inexplain din naman sya.
It's worth the read!

Maganda ang concept, maganda ang plot at maganda ang storytelling. Kung mahilig ka sa action-packed, non-cliche story, ito ang ang series na para sayo. Katulad ng sinasabi ng iba na maraming typos ang book, pero hindi naman ito nakaka-apekto sa quality ng story, This is a must read.
June 27, 2020
Maganda ang pagkasulat ng libro na ito. Isa pa sa nagustuhan ko sa libro na ito ay yung mapa sa unahan. Di nalang ako mag ibigay ng spoiler pero nag enjoy ako. Kaya tong basahin ng isang araw lang pero di ko ginawa kasi matatapos agad kaya tuwing gabi ko lang ito binsa (3 gabi).
June 16, 2021
Great premise and idea, but the writing style and sentence construction sucks. I never cared about the characters. Megan is the only likeable character in this story and she's not that highlighted. Parang 'di nagkaroon ng developmental edit ang librong ito. Sayang lang

I found this novel very interesting and a fresh concept to our Philippine Literature. I even adore how this novel is written in filipino language. This is a one of a kind.
April 15, 2020
This is my favorite filipino novel so far. Maraming simbolismo ang aklat na ito na tumatalakay sa pamumuhay ng mga pilipino ngayon.
April 15, 2020
Marami mang typo errors sa pagkakasulat ng librong ito ngunit hindi ito nakababawas sa ganda ng istorya. A must read book!
April 15, 2020
Solid ang istorya na ito. Mula sa unang pahina hanggang sa dulo ay nakaka-excite! Hindi ko pinanghinayangan ang pera ko dito.
April 15, 2020
I really did enjoy reading this book. Sana po may book 2 :)
April 15, 2020
This is a triumph for Philippine literature.
April 15, 2020
Project Pandora is a monument for Philippine sci-fi stories. I’m amazed how this all was put together in Tagalog language. Kudos to the author!
April 17, 2020
Maganda ang plot at storytelling. Kakaiba ang ending at unexpected! Nasaan na ang book 2?
April 27, 2020
Sobrang maganda ito! Maraming mensahe ang istorya na maayos na pinagisipan at sinulat. Hindi tipikal ang konseptop at talaga namang hindi ka magsasawa na basahin hanggang sa huling pahina.
April 28, 2020
I highly recommend this book! Hindi nasayang ang pera ko dito.
June 9, 2020
Maganda ang story at nagustuhan ko ito. Sana lang na-proofread ng publisher kasi maraming redundant, misspelled at incomplete words.
