Write a reviewIf you came here after TOS expecting the same thing u will be sadly disappointed. Why u might ask? Let me explain after reading the first 15 chapters. The Mc has no defining goal he's simply going with the flow. He's born in a position of disadvantage yet seems to not fully develop his powers nor try to escape his disposition. The author also mentions these power he has but seems not to actively utilize them. The Mc feels so small in this story simply because the world is so developed and they are so far behind in power and technology. More to add but im lazy and also waiting to see wt happens next.
I like the pace of the story, not too fast or too slow, no info dump. MC is very relatable and not a generic OP mad lad from the start.
Mid story, could be better if the author didn't fumble alot of opportunities to make the story better, like death-baiting characters that should have stayed dead and he makes some characters that could have been interesting way too generic
I feel as though I've read an actual book with a very similar plot except the simulations were real but otherwise humanity had to defeat the bug aliens and the mc destroyed a mother/hivemind winning the war with a strike which is the reason for a low score in world background for lack of creativity. I feel as though the bug war thing was rushed even though it had plenty of foreshadowing. I feel as if not enough main characters are introduced or their abilities besides Silber. Writing quality and stability of updates is nice.
Reveal Spoilerwith the author's experince from tos and hoa this novel is gonna be fire. just read and i want more if only i could travel through and binge read the entire thing without having to wait
I'm not likely able to keep reading, not because the story, writing, etc is bad but because it literally left me in tears. I read to try to escape from so much pain and darkness in reality. I've enjoyed other stories from this author as the author does an amazing job of world building and character development, but they're hard to read since I'm far more emotionally invested.
Another amazing book in the works!! Hopefully we get a little more supernatural powers this time around compared to the other books. For anyone that reads this review, definitely stick around for this story.
i really like this novel,at first I thought the mc has no motivation no ambition so after reading 100 chap i was disappointed but after 200 chap the story line was improved drastically and now I think it is better than tyranny of steel.but one of the most frustrating thing is that the update frequency is really bad.we have to wait 2 or 3 days for 1 chap.i think author should concentrate one novel at a time.please author if you reading this please at least update daily,it will be better if 2 chaps in a day
Warning spoilers I love this book but even tho I’m born and raised Jewish with German ancestry. Due to the Jewish part already had mixed feelings although very minor. The German ancestry sure helped. BTW not currently religious at all. The book is a sci fi masterwork in its own way. But my criticisms are that the all around racism everyone has towards each other gets in the way. If it’s not racism somebody hates each other for whatever reason. Still it adds to the conflict of the story so it’s whatever. Lastly the MC although around when he is almost 30 acts like a petty petulant man child. I mean come on almost three years of not resolving a relationship with a girl you didn’t even try truly getting to know. On top of the fact that she is stuck in the same boat. I get the resentment on both sides but it irked me the way he felt entitled and was childish. But it got resolved although should have happened sooner.
Reveal SpoilerExcellent book. The type that makes you want to read non-stop. I really like Tyranny of Steel myself, so a book that can encompass both the essence of ToS and still add new elements is awesome, to say the least.
I really enjoy my time reading this story. Author has experience and know where to find good inspiration.
Probably one of the best world building I’ve ever come across. I’ve caught up and I’ve really enjoyed every chapter.
I like this novel but update frequency is very poor.author please update atleast 1 chap in a day

I need more already, if it's anything close to as good as ToS was, then we are all in for a treat!
