Spaceships, programming-based magic, eldritch abominations called humans, conspiracies, really what more could you want? Oh, and, escalation. Fair bit of that too.

- Urban Goat HerderRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I had no idea what to think when I saw this posted, but it only took a few lines before I was smirking, a few more till I wasa chuckling then I got everyones attention and had to awekwardly explain what I was reading. It wasn't easy, so I waved them off and went back to it.
Nice! very nice - Valence_21Royal Road★★★★ 4.0Space opera and science fiction; though not too hard. Anthropocentric, semi-nationalistic and written without taking itself too seriously. Always feel like this genre needs more representation and I always love some good satirical sci-fi even if it goes in the opposite direction of humanity's role in classics like hitchikers guide to the galaxy. 21st century sci-fi is really taking a humorous turn instead of the nitty gritty diaspora of human's decendants warring and being yoked, though the chapters are super short.
4/5 stars in overall quality of writing/worldbuilding. - WalksWithBooksRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0This story is 👍. Drag my semi-technopathic ass back here if I forget to update my review after some more chapters.
American: yes.
Cold: hot and cold therapy with coffee catalyst.
Fear: pets or traffic mixed with animals.
Armed? Yes, two ball-jointed limbs, minimum.
My favorite part of chapter 0/1 is the recounting of humans including matter and antimatter in the galactic legal definition of theft. The iterative humor through the contexts I hold while reading sociologic satire worked very well.
Is this fifty words yet?
+O.5 Stars. -- 3 chapters forward.
+0.43 Stars for the lulz.
