Description
Many years after a brutal war between humanity and a sentient automaton threat has left the world a nearly inhabitable wasteland. Humanity is hanging on by a fragile thread as we follow the story of Diana, a scout who is looking to find anything to save her home. In her adventures she investigates a lead deep in dangerous lands to a long forgotten city that could be their salvation. Many secrets lay hidden in the sand that she will soon dig up, ones that may have best been left buried and forgotten long ago.

- Sh3adeRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0As of chapter 9:
Pros: nice grammar, decent vocabulary.
Great characters so far, too early to comment on character development.
Plot is nice so far, decent foreshadowing, show don't tell, still too early though.
Cons: some weird sentences.
Some missed character development opportunities.
Fast pace.
Slow releases.
Recommendations:
Write some ten chapters and release in rapid rate.
Get the mother some more screen time.
Give the city some more world building.
Hold your horses a little bit, you going too fast In my opinion.
Keep up the good work.
