Description

Join a mercenary company? Check. Get rich? Not so fast. Stable Job? Yeh right.

Bandit joined the Phelian Gulls years ago to get out there, see the solar system, and make a name for herself in the uncaring cosmos, and get paid to do it. But everything goes wrong when she takes a rush job to get an artifact for a sketchy collector to keep her bank account positive.

So, join Bandit as she comes to uncover truths, recover ancient human technology, fights horrors beyond her comprehension, and find a place to call her own in the uncaring vacuum of space, where your only companion is your thoughts, the music of the spheres, and the carcass of a dead civilization.

BAMG is a space western with 'magical' girls. Set in a far future, where humanity got itself killed and left the rubble to its genetically engineered servants, and their advanced technology, indistinguishable from magic, for anyone with the guts to loot it.

The story starts on a slow burn as Bandit gets to the plot, and the content warnings are lite. There aren't going to be constant oceans of gore, or dramatic sex scenes on Royal Road. BAMG takes inspiration from many sources, so there is a little of this and a little of that. Drinking and smoking, fighting and f-bombs, you know the drill.

Updates Friday's.

    If you're looking for a sci-fi adventure in space, you've found it.
    The MC Bandit is well designed and likable.
    While the story is set in a spacefaring civilization, the focus stays on the MC, so most action is closeup and personal. No ship-to-ship battles so far. (Although the plot seems to be ramping up)
    I for one am looking forward to more chapters  :)

    Ever wondered what happens when humanity decides to die out and leaves behind technology none of their bio-engineered slaves understand? Apparently Magical Girls in space. Who woulda guessed?
    BAMG: A story about one particular very distant offspring of said bio-engineered ex-slaves, trying to get some money in the harsh void of space through the very safe work of being a gun for hire that leads to some strange occurrences.
    The writing is quite well done, though there are occasional spelling mistakes and sentences that don't make a lot of intuitive sense, the characters are likable with clear and logical goals, and the premise is quirky and different.
    This has culminated into an entertaining story and I am excited to see where it goes.
