    This is a fast-paced story about a gang of ne'er-do-wells rampaging through a futuristic Tokyo. The characters are hilariously immoral, the fights are well executed, and the dialogue is sharp as a razor.
    One particularly impressive aspect is the author's creativity and attention to detail in his world building.
    Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

    Debaucherous, degenerate, and dangerous characters fighting for control, I love it. I think more than anything else, I love your world building. You've got a great way of building a world that seems real. Without describing every detail I'm able to get enough of an understanding that I can guess what's going on elsewhere.
    Your sense of pacing is great as well. Everything is pretty fast paced but you know when to slow it down as well. For example, you show us how insane AKMs are right out the gate. Only later do you actually explain what they REALLY are. The idea of the AKM and the process to create one is just wild to me.
    I'm attributing the low rating to the sex scenes and descriptions. People were warned beforehand but sometimes they can be a little taken aback, especially when it isn't a, "male inserts throbbing rod into quivering female hole." But, I think the scenes are important to help understand just what kind of world this is. It's Cyberpunk 101, but that's the only thing I can think of as to why some of the ratings have been so low. We're supposed to see the worst in humanity and what greed can drive people to do. People will dive deep into drug use and raunchy or risky sex because of the powerlessness they feel in the world. Sometimes they might even do both.
    Sometimes when jumping perspectives between characters things can get jumbled. That's something I learned the hard way. Splitting it into different segments instead of swapping characters each chapter is a great idea to get around that. It really helps to give off the feel that all of these things are happening at the same time.
    Great work

    Checked this out on a whim but not my thing. Decided to leave a review as I'm not sure what the low rating is about. This is well written with decent fight scenes.
    Lots of debauchery but that's obvious given the warning tags. Classic cyberpunk dystopia.
    All I can assume is that people got mad at futa being mentioned. It's not even a focus of the story though.
    Keep at it Author. Looks a solid read, it just isn't my jam.
