  Moral of the review is: give this story a try, at least. If you don't, you could be missing out.
  Reviewed at the forty second installment of the series. Spoiler-free/ purposefully vague review.
  What a rollercoaster thus far. I believe this is one of the best stories being published on RR right now, and that's because it doesn't feel like the story is catering to any one specific audience.
  The style isn't really too original, we've definitely seen plots like this before, but that has more to do with the sheer amount of stories on here, rather than it being a popular plot.
  However, the execution of the story is fantastic! Characters feel fleshed out, and have more depth than side characters, making the motives for their actions work on many levels. Main characters feel like main characters, and the supports feel like supports. Best of all, the characters make sense. (Except for Nomi, that bitch.)
  There are definitely instances of run on sentences, and using very repetitive language, but they don't, and shouldn't, detract at all from the overall experience.

  This story is written by the author of Relevance and a world flying off the tracks. They have a record of writing a good story that actually ends, their story always contains an element often ignored by other authors and always seeks out to repair our pet peeves. The story is young but contains all the tropes I absolute love but views them through a different lenses. Awekslear has just become a contender in the 2020 RR Author awards in my mind, with nobody103 and LivingSpoon.

  Darn good. I love your parallels.
  Incredibly socially cognizant characters. Definitely not social commentary, though. A refreshing find.

  The story is really good and the characters are in-depth, this definitely deserves a huge award and the author is amazing as to how he puts this story in the direction it's moving. Plot is very interesting, I'll give it a 5 for being good.

  Great story and great world building. It's just not my cup of tea though. For those who like this genre, the story is great. There are a lot of exciting twists and turns. Everyone is a villain and everyone is a hero. Kudos to the author.

  ★★★★ 4.0

  This story is dark, and the main characters range from downright muderous sociopaths to stupidly blind and naive, with no sensible person to be found.
  The story is however revealed in an engaging way, and has an original take on the grim dark setting. I mean it's not the usual every thing is hopeless and bleak type of grim dark story. But rather: I'm a murder hobo and I get to murder everyone, yay fun fun happy times.
  Still because of the originality and good story telling I'd recommend reading for everyone who can handle a bit of dark, and doesn't mind following along with several anti-heroes.
  On the technical side: Most chapters are fine, but some have a fairly large amount of typo's but it's at least possible to read past them.

  The idea of having half of the perspective characters be complete monsters and the other half morally grey at best is interesting in theory, if not wholly original.
  If you're going for that, though, everyone picking up the idiot ball and every named character growing thicker plot armor than a care bears cartoon the moment lethal ruthlessness would serve everyone's agenda breaks the themes you're building and comes off as a series of repeated let-downs and eventually makes the whole thing feel draggy and pointless.
  Trying to cover up the plot armor for people who should 100% be dead (e.g. showing up to a mech fight between mass murderers with only an appeal to their better nature) with weak moves like fridging the disposable boyfriend only makes it a bit insulting.
  I don't hate it, it's a coherent fic with a comprehensible plot and the author has a story to tell, it's just a bit weak on characters and themes and a lot of extra edge without actually, y'know, cutting with any of it.

  ★★★ 3.0

  To be perfectly honest at first I thought this was going to be some crappy woke piece from the summary. I've seen a bunch of them on this site, but I was pleasantly surprised.
  It's written well and actually makes sense. The characters are believable and it was somewhat interesting for the first few chapters. The thing that made this not really enjoyable for me is that there is a basic concept but I have no reason to care about anything that has happened at all.
  I kept reading thinking something would be explained about how the world changed besides the prayers and whatnot, but there was nothing there. It just upped and happened for from what I can see is no reason. That and the first real thing I took note of that was outside our norm was just disgusting instead of something that actually developed the plot point. It served its purpose but it requires a suspension of disbelief on how things got like that in the first place. Entire generations would have to pass without entire ideologies falling out for a lot of the stuff being described to seem normal. Either that or an apocalyptic event (which I think is being alluded too, but it's still very vague).
  The last thing that hurts this story for me is that I can't sympathize with the main character. He's believable and quite well written for what he was shown as so far, but I'm not gonna waste hours upon hours looking for something to keep me interested besides that initial summary. It feels like the novel started somewhere in the middle instead of at the beginning. Things are referenced or just outright stated that you're expected to know without having all the pertinent details.
  The best thing I could compare this to would be those huge stories you always see that have reviews saying you need to get so far into to actually enjoy it and I already stated above how I feel about that. Overall the mc feels like he's been made like someone you can push yourself onto at the beginning, but that's left him with no other charac
