- TechmanRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Really intriguing premise - WWI but with magic in addition to technology. Lots of technical details about the planes. Story follows a Canadian RAF fighter squadron who gets a witch attached to their squad to help protect them from enemy magic. So far so good.
But then the witch shows up and is straight out of a cheesy anime. The dialogue is full of all those tropes. Lots of random stuttering, "fufufu", "......", and "WAAAAUUUGGGHH!"
The cognitive dissonance of technical plane talk and wartime with magic pixie anime dream girl was just too much for me. I had to quit after 3 chapters.
That being said, it's not a bad story. It's decently well written and it is a fascinating premise. Elements of it weren't my thing, but it may not bother you as much.
