Such a cool concept! The more you think about the whole
alternate reality/alternate self/multiverse thing,
the more your mind gets blown haha. I like that it’s also rooted in the very common phenomenon where people wonder how their lives would be if they did one thing differently. It makes the whole story seem more grounded and real.
I also didn’t see the whole multiple-Jason’s twist coming, so that was super cool, very interesting!
 

The story read like an action movie, and the writing was very to-the-point, which is nice pacing wise, but I did find that the structure a bit choppy at times. The style also makes it a little hard to get attached to any characters or anything like that. I tend to prefer a bit more of a character-driven perspective, so maybe that’s why I felt like something was missing. There was definitely some character exploration, but it was very much plot-driven IMO. 

Overall, a cool read!
