    I don't want to spoil anything because figuring this world out is half the fun, but I'll do what I can to explain why this story is a winner! It's a truly wicked story that keeps you guessing.  The main character awakens in a field of grown humans who soon learn they are conscripts in an interstellar military run by an AI entity. It's a story that gets brutal at times, but is vastly interesting. I kept finding myself thinking about the universe of the story throughout the week after I read the available chapters.
    The characters range from the unfortunate soldiers to the military personnel that are more than a little unhinged. It feels a little Squid Games-esqu at the beginning as large cuts are made to the roster of lab-grown soldiers.
    There are few grammar or spelling issues, and what little there may be is not distracting.
    The style is appropriate for the genre. 3rd person limited voice, which is great for presenting a world one piece at a time. You learn more as the main character discovers the world around him and begins to plot revenge against the military for their brutality.
    The story has kept me coming back for more so far! Looking forward to more chapters!

    It's a dysotpian fantasy story and I find the concept and world to be intriguing so far.
    From the very first chapter, this story has you interested. We learn a few things but are generally confused about what's going on and how things arrived at where they were. However, when you're done you can't help but be curious about what comes next.
    It's a bit* gruesome (well to me, some people would find it horrible) but I like that the author isn't trying to hold back and is following through with the concept of the dystopian world.
    One down is that there's still some context lacking on what's going.
    Overall, I believe the story has potential.
