Only Chapter 12 is any good

by SRC
An allegory with themes of industrialization, psychological conflict, sociopolitical reforms, philosophy, science, etc.

It's all bullshit except for chapter 12 which is victor hugo levels of good.

It took me literally six years to finish this thing.

A complicated allegory that tries to emphasize the psychological, philosophical, sociopolitical and practical aspects of being in Equestria as a human. A human with Knowledge! Man's greatest tool and weapon. But more importantly, a human with dreams, aspirations and ambitions. A man's journey to humanize Equestria and bring order to what he sees as chaos, to bring civilization to what he sees as barbarity, to bring salvation to what he sees as lost...
But the ponies differ in opinion: they live their own lives in their own ways.
This new arrival that speaks of strange, foreign concepts and beliefs: does he hold the truth? Or do they?
But what about all the wonders that he testifies exist? These enticing technologies of comfort, these new reforms of liberty and socialism, these visions of an utopian society of progress! One without hunger, one standing unified, one where everyone is equal and free...!
And then there are the amazing weapons and terrible powers that he knows how to unleash.
Will this man bring about the promised era of unprecedented peace and prosperity?
Or will his own human nature blind him with greed and sin in a lust for absolute power?

Expect psychological trauma, inner conflicts and alter-egos.
Expect philosophical reflections on identity, humanity and morality.
Expect a little bit of science here and there and ridiculous jokes and references that no one will get.
