Grammar is rough. Capitalization, punctuation, there were serious mechanical issues that affected readability for me. Couple that with some big block text passages and it was hard for me to make it very far. You can parse it if you pay attention, but it is a hurdle.
I didn't stick around long enough to get much character development. In the little I saw I didn't much care for the character of the MC.
He literally pissed himself when confronted with danger. Waffled internally some kind of semi passifist philosophy, then fought ineffectively, then tried to switch sides. Not the stuff of heroes imo Maybe it's setting him up for a redemption arc but I didn't care for it.
World building seemed to be alien robots vs humans, but set in a fantasy world and not our own. The only indication we have that they are robots is it saying so, they act pretty much like bad people and don't appear to have any differences than us. The only indication we have that it is a fantasy world is some chanting from a weird religion the MC does at one point.
OVerall story seems to be some kind of alien invasion thing, but the other issues were strong enough that I didn't make it far enough to suss out what was going on.
Maybe a younger crowd used to reading stuff written on a phone will be able to give this a better shot and won't find the same distractors I did. As is, I do not recommend.
