    I find this was a highly enjoyable read( I read to chapter 11 at the time of this review). I hope dearly that the Author writes this story long past NaNoWriMo.
    Good for you Tsaimath for writing a interesting story.

    I rarely am attracted to super-heros stories.
    but that one is well drafted and cleverly so.
    a balanced mix of character development, isekai-moments, crafting, science, action, mini-plots, book-size plots and arch plots slowly being revealed. and the clever use of ellipses to show that time passes
    the plots and arch-plots are good, slowly being revealed.
    good grammar, but sometimes a few typos, & I'm not english native speaker.
    the character are good. especially the fact that the MC is still a teen, with normal teen reasoning despite her cleverness and paranoia.
    the only critic I could make is that her power is only supposed to be creative concentration... but it seems to enable her to do "magical science" : solving "easily" the problems that blocks other scientist, both in "research" and in "manufacturing"....
    but maybe that's "creative concentration" applied to scientific research.

    I honestly don't know why this isn't higher in the rankings .
    This is a very entertaining story. If you like superhero/villain stories with mechical robot suits, then this definitely worth a read.
    I've just binge read the 54 current chapters and wish there was more to read.
    The main characters are interesting and enjoyable to learn about.
    Style is pleasant to read. The grammatical/spelling errors are few and don't detract from the reading.
    A note to the author: I love it. More please! :)

    One of the best stories on here I've read. The characters are each unique and enjoyable to witness. Even the antagonists are not one dimensional, which is quite a feat.
    My favorite part is that there are really no noticable plotholes or inconsistancies. One major problem with fiction is moving the plot while the characters stay in-character and nothing super illogical happens - this is done beautifully here. Alex never breaks character to do something stupid; her cautious calculating and intellectual manner is never sacrificed for the sake of drama or making a fight easier. Any weaknesses or setbacks she has do not feel contrived.
    This reads much like a popular published series - the book itself is standalone as all loose ends are relatively tied up. Nothing else could be written and I would still be satisfied with having read a finished piece, while at the same time if new material came out I would gladly read it.

    Not gonna lie this is probably the best superhero story I have ever read. It beats out published works of the same base plot that I have read. It's about the standard "Mad Genius" powerset with a more moderate character than the typical one-sided characters you see with Mad Genius types. Literally, the only issue I have with this is the occasional grammar issue(misspelling/word left out/ word order) Honestly 10/10 story for me so far.

    For those who read "worm" but wished that Taylor was gay.
    It's a pretty similar setting, and just as good. In worm the main character was a bit to indecisive for my raste(at least in the beginning) but here were pretty sure what the Mc is all about.
    The romance subplot is very good, and even though it deals with some very heavy themes, it feels like an organic romance.
    On the characters themselves, they're very good. Except for some cliches here and there, everyone feels fresh and like a real person.
    Overall 10/10

    The story really captured my attention and I couldn’t put it down. And the story was amazing!
    However, there were some instances where I had to pause to think some of the descriptions or explanations through. The science and all was explained to me in the sense that in ur head u were probably describing Iron Man’s suit of armour to a T, but in the actual novel it came out as he was wearing a red and gold suit of armour. Which is sometimes okay but I feel with the level of intelligence that the main character has it should be more elaborate.
    Thanks for the novel and all the chapters!

    It's a stressful story to read. Every time a new chapter appear i hesitate because i don't know when the other shoe will drop.
    "is this now that we have a bad news" "is this now that the MC take a hit"
    it's so stressful somtime a wait to have more chapters to read and pray the situation resolve on a good note.

    Fantastic story. But you should drop the comedy tag.

    For me problem with this story is kind of "show, don't tell". MC is scared of her father. She said he will lock her up if she slips up, and he sold her. We are shown no interactions between MC and her father, so it all comes as baseless paranoia. Had she tried talking to her father?
    MC dislikes her stepmother because "she sold herself" to her father. When stepmother tries to connect to MC, she shrugs her off, thinking that no way the attempt is genune.
    MC's fiancee isolated her is school. Well, when she made a friend, and the fiancee tried to disuade her friend, MC stood up for her friend. For the first time. And fiancee backed off. And, as it turns out, the friend has history with gangs. So, maybe the fiancee had a good reason. Well, also he is posessive, but, so far, it's just an opinion. Maybe MC misunderstood him? And he had some girlfriends. Well, if it's hurtful for MC, maybe she should have told him?
    Next, MC has created an AI and treats them as her daughter. I have so many questions about the AI. Why is MC sure the AI isn't malicious? The AI is at least as intelligent as a human. What are their goals? Maybe don't release AI to the internet and give them a physical body? With the AI, MC is trusting and careless, exact oposite of paranoia to her relatives.
    So, out of 5 major characters, MC has reasonable interactions with one of them (the friend), for the rest, she's either unreasonably trusting, or despise them for no apparent reason. Well, taking into account only what we saw. So, I'm having a strong disconnect here.
    On the good side - I like the premise, relationships with the friend are plausable (MC is too trusting, but it's the first frend, and MC is a teenager). Powers are developing a bit too fast, IMO, but maybe that's what needed to keep up with the story. I always thought that super-intelligence is the best power :) The fights are good as well - they aren't drawn out, variety of powers is good.
