I’ve really enjoyed binging this story. The characters are really lovable and feel plausible, and the story is great at maintaining the unsettling mystery of the truth behind these experiments. I find the multiple POV’s a nice way to get more perspective about why characters do what they do, but I feel like the chapters could be a little longer to help the story flow better. Overall great read, definitely recommend!

Overall: I just feel this was really well done, there's no tropes that feel 'necessary' or anything that feels like he put it in there just to have it. I will also admit I have a shameless love of nonhuman and bioweapon MCs.
Style: this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the multiple perspectives really helps to expand the story and the way he writes isn't confusing to me, he uses good words for the subject, not going all out to make it sound pretentious.
Story: PEAK. this has man v. nature and man v. man and so many others that this genius of an author somehow ties together to make it coherent. I'm not going to spoil anything, go read it for yourself already.
Grammar: this is the only area where he has some small mistakes, but really I haven't noticed more than like three or four errors in over seventy chapters so really it's great on this front as well.
character: I love and I hate them, which is how you know it's good. the way he gives each of them a personality and they aren't just cardboard cutouts with one bit of dialogue is extremely well done, most every character that you meet is important in some way, even if it's pretty small.

This has been a great read so far. I really like this story, but i really don't know where all of this is going but I'm invested for the whole experience. Collin seems like he has some issues that are not compatible with losing control of himself which is cool. Poor Kristy though! Like for real She got the worst of all the characters. I want her to have a happy ending with the cancer and the missing husband and just... ugh! I really hope this isn't a tragedy because I could see it going either way. I might get some hate for it, but I like the relationship between Merrin and Chuck. It's sweet in an oddly screwed up way. To sum up, this has been worth the read and I will keep coming back for more. I'm hoping for more than just a season 1!!!! Oh and if there are extra episodes ahead of time, please let me know how I can get early access.
To the author: it might be nice to have the chapters for Collin named "Collin". It would be super nice since it can be super confusing who the chapter is about. Anyways, thanks for doing what you're doing. Don't give up!

Overall: it keeps my attention and makes want to keep reading. There's something about the story that is kind of cozy but also sad? I don't know if that's the right way to say it, but it has an undertone of worrying and mystery to it.
Style: The Author tends to focus less on setting and more on interactions, which is nice. Too much setting makes me space out.
Story: This is not typical for this platform, no levels, no stats, but the story is interesting and almost reminds me of Venom but not exactly. It has mystery vibes mixed with superhero and thiller.
Character: The characters feel real and I find myself worrying about them. There's a sense of individual goals for everyone so it feels real.
Grammar: eh, the grammar is good enough for me to know what they are talking about without being distracted from the story and that's good enough for me.
I honestly don't know if this story will do well on this platform, but I'm enjoying it and encourage others to check it out. It's not in my top 10 but it's worth reading so far
That said, if the author doesn't finish this story, I will be forced to hurt him!
