Rank the living standards of your fictional universes.

[Scaletalon]

I'm pretty sure we've all imagined ourselves being with our own characters. And you know you'll be fine cuz you're pretty much the god of your own story
But what about those who don't have that luxury? So in other words, how would someone being an average Joe with no plot armour that has grown up in your world fare?
And for this one, we'll be ranking from worst to best.
Good luck.

Like all places and times it depends on who you are. But the world is pretty much Victorian period technology, but with magical engineering so a lot less pollution. Not really unlivable, even for a modern person.

Pretty much the same as the Earth. If the average Joe is an ordinary human, his life is real life that we have.

If the Joe has supernatural powers, however small it can be, however, it's pretty much the same. Just they need to have acting skills so they will not notice the outliers who can hide in the spiritual realm which only few can see and access, be it ghosts, spirits, or other supernatural humans.

Oh, also he'll need to avoid isekai situations almost often, as the people in that earth are desired for having more divine energy than of other worlds, due to divine blockade by the Great One, blocking from proper gods ever spawning. There are manuals on how to avoid getting isekai’d in there lol

Slightly higher than Earth, being a modern fantasy version of Earth, but a maximum of 10 million people have superpowers, people armed themselves with mystical objects alongside modern weaponry, avatars and servants of stars lurking around. But beside all of that, yeah, its pretty much the same.

My MC is a billionaire so he's probably living good.

Pretty much the same as the Earth. If the average Joe is an ordinary human, his life is real life that we have.

So basically, unlivable with no sign of intelligent life?

In the past, they would most likely die without a doubt.... either killed by an abyssal creature or from starvation, with no sun anymore, the only way to survive was by eating plant rations that grew in the dark.

In the future, they'd likely do fine... though it still depends on which country you're in. Some have higher living standards, with less corrupt governments that actually support their citizens. But even then, it's still more dangerous than our real world, what with monsters still roaming around

I would say It is Dangerous in some Jobs But It is Perfect I would say if they ended up in The Roundah City or Extraceety Home they would fare Well.

My novel is set in a world similar to ours except everyone has superpowers. My envisionment of it is that superpowers mean food, housing and other essentials are a lot cheaper due to how superpowers could affect production. The downside is that villains run rampant and occasionally blow up buildings.

I should point out danger of death is meant to be low due to the nature of how the superpowers work, but that's about it.

Overall it's meant to be a more pleasant world to live in on the day-to-day basis.

Depends on the origin of the character.

There is a metropolis of trade, where most citizens are afluent.
Then there's two more relaxed, pastotal hub, where people in general are comfortable.
People living in city deep inside the gloomy forest are pretty austere, but manage.
Those living in the great northern tundra are struggling to meet their basic needs.

6/10 It's 1888 London, but the bad parts of London.

 

[Seaspecter]

The world in Anna's dream is a pretty stock fantasy world with magic and such so it would be worse than ours for the most part but so long as you lived near one of the major population centers you'd be fine.

My second novel takes place in a high tech galaxy so unless your in a warzone or out on the frontier you'd probably have a better life than the real world.

Each story is different. .
Between Worlds shifts from a world 90% identical to our own to a late medieval and back again and may cross into others,
The Jack Diamond stories are pretty much set in the 1990s but with some more modern additions and a character who's a throwback to the 40s. So pretty much same as today but weirder.
Strange Awakening is mostly in the upper class areas of the same world Jack is on (book two goes to another world that I'm still developing)
True Blue is pretty much late 1990s (when I started writing it, to be honest) at first, then will time jump to about 2010 at some point, but a kind of post apocalyptic/rebuilt 2010
Digital Cowboy is ... different. The world of the first chapter is probably 2040 or. Then it dives back into a modified Wild West... but it's ... complicated.
