Description

One world, split by time and war.

One girl, torn between her past and present.

Miles below Earth’s surface an android soldier wakes, eager to take the place of her fallen predecessor and fulfill her role in helping mankind retake the planet.

Except the rules have changed, and she hasn't got the memo.

When she discovers the central database has been mysteriously crippled, God Gier 11 finds herself emerging into a world changed beyond her recognition and clueless as to how it has come to be.

But before she can work out why coffee no longer exists in this strange new place, 11 stumbles heart-first into a gorgeous elf with a smile that makes her head spin, a crazed vampire claiming to be a relative, and an ancient conspiracy that threatens to unravel the fate of humanity and everything 11 thinks she knows about herself.

Caught between duty and desire, waging war and pioneering the first cappuccino, 11 must make full use of her newfound autonomy to uncover the secrets of her past and save the people she has come to care about.

But without the excuse of being an emotionless machine, will she be able to cope with the truth of what she really is, and the things she has done?

3am review, lets fkin go. Not gonna lie im pretty much just writing this because there are no other reviews currently.
Style:
Well, it's written in present tense, which some people might not like. But that's not big deal.
Loooong sentences. Oftentimes, there will be long paragraphs that only consist of 2 or 3 sentences, each 20-30 words or longer. Especially egregious in the early chapters. Not that long sentences are bad, but the reading can get a bit dull when you put them back to back.
Also, tons of commas. For sentences like this:
The reply was quick, and unexpected.
Sweet and salty, in the best possible way.
You don't need the commas there. This, combined with the long sentences, makes reading the novel have a weird rhythm to it sometimes.
Not that the style is bad. It's just not amazing or anything. I think the fighting and action scenes suffer the most from the author's writing style, they're written the same way as the rest of the novel.
Story:
Very anime plot. Terminator waifu(a la Rozen Maiden, NGNL Zero, Clockwork Planet) from a technologically advanced past wakes up in the future to find that humanity has regressed to medieval fantasyland. Along the way, learns about emotions and what it means to be human etc etc. Also some solid conspiracy stuff going on which is always a treat.
I think the story really good. If i had one complaint, the pace is a bit slow, definitely in part due to the author's somewhat long-winded writing style. The early chapters are also a bit slow and have tons of exposition, which might turn off some new readers.
Grammar:
Pretty much perfect.
Character:
Well uh... Pretty good. I thought I would find the protagonist annoying, but she somehow isn't. The rest of the characters aren't bad at all either. Not much to say, im kinda sleepy.
Anyway. Definitely worth a read, especially if you like anime and stuffs. Pretty good.
