Status Updates From Captive Desires

I'm trying to read this. It began well but now I'm having trouble. I know the hero was given a spell to help him understand our world, but it's like he's a native. Nothing seems confusing and new; it's like he's seen it all before. Doesn't help make things believable. This story reads like a fanfiction of Captive Dreams, even though it's written by the same main author.

And the main story is ABOUT fanfiction.
