  Armored was one of those gems I stumbled upon on RR. It hit all the right buttons, it told of amazing characters in an even more amazingly post-apocalyptic world. And it did power armor as good or better than the rest of them!
  I really have no criticisms to offer, this is one of my favorite stories on the site, and played a role in influencing my own writing. All I can ask is that the author continues and finishes this, because it'd be a tragedy to let such a gem go uncut.

  Great story with so much potentional that is living up to it. From world building to characters it pretty solid and not much to improved. The characters are well planed and feel lifelike. The style feels so natural that most of the time you don't notice it. Thanks

  After a read through it is a solid start to a novel, the only thing I have to say about it is that I want more.
  The main character is solid and develouping into mor then just a luky guy who is trying to survive. The setup at his new home after everthing goes to hell is coming along nicely. Even the relationship he is building seems pretty fluid.

  A good read. It has great potential. The grammar is a little rough, but it is improving as he goes along. I am looking forward to more.

  I will revival more  later, but this is a great story with slower updates. Great story for power armor fans, short in length but reliable and I am bias but perfect plot progression.I

  : Story is smooth, from the dumps to power/ maybe saving his mother.

  This is a great and very original story, it’s well written and the different genre elements are blended perfectly. Highly recommend reading this I won’t be surprised if it’s up in the top rankings soon

  ★★★★★ 4.5

  Incomplete, but entertaining adventure of a lowly slum rat rising to cool rich mech pilot. The hiatus isn't a cliffhanger, what's not finished can be assumed:
  We do get to see him go from weak to strong to trained, poor to comfortable and connected. The hiatus happens around when he's about to embark on a mission back to his slum to save his mom and friends. I didn't mind stopping there since I could assume he saves his family and gets the girl and could see how he would live happily ever after.
  The grammar is the weakest part, but the errors aren't too distracting and didn't interfere with understanding. Overall it's an easy enjoyable read, and while I hope it gets completed, it was nice just having this much

  If you’re thinking about reading this, check the first chapter to see if the author has corrected their spelling mistakes. If it still has “thier” instead of “their” and similar spelling mistakes don’t bother reading it.
  The spelling and grammar varies hugely, with repeated spelling mistakes, missing spaces, etc. The author ignores pointed out spelling mistakes for over an month and a half, and doesn’t go back to correct them.
  They start correcting mistakes (e.g. using “their”) later in the story so they are aware that it is wrong, but the lack of care shown by not making sure the basics are done is a horrible sign.
  It’s a shame because it’s a decent story, if extremely grimdark and dystopian. There’s minor things which can be ignored such as scavengers both carrying nothing more than clothing and a weapon, and at the same time all having long coils of rope and lights.
  It’s quite a fast paced story with a good idea (at least for now) of where it wants to go and chapters are a decent length.
  The things letting it down are the editing and the story trying to make the worst society possible to make the protagonist into the lowest of underdogs and as such having no relatable or sympathetic characters.
  I would recommend it if you want a post apocalyptic dystopian story, but only if the editing of the story improves.

  ★★★ 2.5

  The premise and world was interesting enough, a decent amount of background setting to make the characters original motives and actions understandable.
  And then we hit chapter 2.
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  Essentially from this point on the character can't ever seem to make his mind up. He's originally portrayed as a man resigned to the cruely of the world and willing to lay his life down for a handful of pennies so his mom can have the medicine she needs to live. A hero will go head into almost certain death for the person he loves.
  Then we get the next few chapters where he's shown as a cautious almost scheming man, doing everything in his very limited power to survive, asking for tips in the deadly forest, watching more experienced scavengers and mimicking actions, analyzing the Armoured Knights to see if he can discern clues. Good stuff.
  Then the first attacks happen and he's running and hiding behind everyone and everything to hide and preserve his life. Okay probably smart but doesn't seem to lend itself to a man resigned to his fate and willing to lay down his life, but i'd let it slide, after all he doesn't know or have any reason to care about their survival.
  Then he finds out he's got radioactive poision and he's literally a doomed man. So his first response is "i'm going to kill that guy whose fault it is i'm doomed to die" at this point i'm like "well, um. okay but I thought you're mom would get paid more money if you die? If you kill him and you all die then no one goes back to your home and your mom gets no money." but nope he's out for VENGENCE. okay cool whatever, lets see whats next.
  Then a robot saves his life, cures his the radiation and operates on him. Alright sounds traumatic as hell but you're flipping alive buddy. but then the first thing he does it want to scream and shout. "okay recent traumatic events I get it but, hello, knock knock you're still ALIVE when you've literally spent the last few weeks convinced of your inevitable death... weight of you
