I believe I have a good enough impression of the story as of Chapter 4B to review it. Should the story change later on, then it won't be reflected in this review.
The story is about a boy with no name, who wants to reach Gaia - the mothership. Earth has been destroyed, and the future of humanity lies in these spaceships.
Story: The story seems original to me, and thought out. There are some minor internal incosistencies I noticed, but don't matter as a whole. You can actually imagine yourself being in that world. This is the story's strong point.
Style: No glaring obvious spacing issues etc. found. The near lack of rethorical devices speak for the endless space and the author's own view. At other times the timely usage of such perfectly fit the situation. However when getting to know more about the world, the author was too blunt, too forecoming with details. There is no real suspense nor desire to know more about the world, everything is given. We get the feeling that we always know what this world is like - when the MC is an outcast among outcasts. It could have been done in a more suspenseful way, as a way to keep the reader wanting for more.
Grammar: Minor grammar issues, but entirely legible without having a headache.
Character: Now this is the achille's heel of Didactic Duplicate. Characters are not consistent across multiple chapters, and their aims and goals seem to change every (numbered) chapter. The MC was a nihilistic boy in the first chapter, devastated because he doesn't know why he should keep living, but apparently wants to live so much, he'd do it "no matter the cost". Sometimes situations to portray the character properly feel one-dimensional (e.g. bullying scene, where he could easily have retiliated / not open the message; At this point he's just invited them to bully him). Other characters seem to be a bit too forecoming despite their background.
Personally, I believe Didactic Duplicate is a novel that could use a bit more love, despite the faul

This story has an interesting and unique concept that to my knowledge, is new to Royalroadl. So far, the style is something I'm looking forward to. The characters are still developing so we'll have to wait and see as of 6A. The grammar is certainly up there in comparison to most works here. The author's previous work, Antagonist Rewind 1, has a similarity in style at the beginning and seeing how that story turned out, I can't help but wait for what this story can do with it's potential.
