16/661

In the age of AI and the accelerating decline of real creative expression in our society, let this one story stand as a shining beacon of authenticity and character. A story that is stupid, psychotic, completely undisciplined,and always human. No slop here, only pure human idiocy.

Updated whenever I want according to my always fluctuating whims.

★★★★★ 5.0
Overall: I strongly reccomend this story. It's well-written, interesting, and genuinely funny. A pleasure to read, and a welcome breath of fresh air amidst Royal Road's heaps of progression fantasy. At least give it a try.
Style: Very engaging. Told entirely through text dialogue, the reader knows about as much as any character. Rather than break style for exposition, setting and character details are provided consistently with the style. This story is all 'show' and no 'tell'.
Story: While the main plot is still in it's early stages and is thus hard to rate, the smaller bits are well-constructed and well-carried out. Details are consistent and events have effects. Plotlines progress in sensical, yet still engaging, ways.
Character: Extremely good. Characters seem real, interacting and reacting naturally. Some of the best on the site. I feel like these are people I could meet.
Grammar: No issues. No errors; any apparent errors are intentional stylistic choices consistent with the setting.
TL; DR: The style is interesting and unique. The story is thought-out and consistent; the premise is intruiguing.The grammar has been adapted for the style, but is internally consistent. The characters are among the best I've seen.
TL; DR TL; DR: All good. Great characters. Go read.
