Description

In a war-ridden world where metaphysical powers are the norm, Alma Gustafsson, a defect with no abilities whatsoever, stood at the top of it. An elite captain with a tactical mind, capable of fighting the invading forces with utmost efficiency and discipline, amplified by an immeasurable amount of sheer dedication.

This mission was supposed to be a standard one. Get behind enemy lines, kill the metal puppets, destroy the flying fortress, escape with body and life intact. To be the first one to stare at the eyes of their true enemy was surprising enough, and dying was already a sharp reminder of what she is: A defect that has no place in the battlefield. But somehow, meeting an old man in the middle of the forest was more important to her than the events that transpired.

“Your grit is one of a kind, girly. I need that.” Said the old man, giving her a chance to go back out there and fight once more. It was a stupid offer, making her choose between eternal happiness of heaven and the meaningless fighting that she has done all those years. However, she never took herself as a smart person. And as she embarks on a journey to protect her world, she will find herself at a crossroad that will determine the fate of the universe...

    It's not a bad attempt for a first work. The premise is basically steampunk fantasy, but brought forward to the beginning of the modern age. Alien invasion and a magicless Supersoldier is revived as an overpowered undead.
    The main problems boil down to execution. If I was a writing tutor (I am not), I would take a red pen to this (or tracked changes) to clean it up, then go over the author why I made this change or that, or alternatively to provide some comment bubbles suggesting a rethinking of this or that issue. Basically, it reads like a first draft. If that doesn't bother you and the premise sounds interesting, well what are you waiting for? Get reading.
