    The premise - United States of America Proxy In Another World
    The story so far so good. Even if the genre is the same but the story is totally different. Usually you get story of USA summoned or get through portal to another world. And those story just jumped to war with the inhabitant. What they lack is the mentioning the void of free trade and their manufacturing from agliculture to industry. But this story is unrestricted by such problem because USA already have a proxy nation in this foreign land. The characted building and world building is good. The grammar understable and exellence for me as non-english speaker.
    Thank you for the story.

    This story definitely scratches that itch for a military portal fantasy. A modern nation going into a new world and doing things in a realistic fashion. However, I do think the story could've used better execution. The main vice of this is that it lacks focus. All of my issues are ones that can be resolved given enough time and love from the author is put into it, but for now, these are my thoughts.
    -Style
    In this sense, the story is passable. The style isn't anything unique, nor is it boring. It does what it needs to do and thats fine. So for this, five stars.
    -Story
    The main thing that this story has going for it is its premise. While it is really cool seeing that the United States created a whole new country modeled after itself in the 1960s in a fantasy setting, a whole lot hasn't been done with this. The plot doesn't feel existent, it just feels like a string of loosely connected events.
    While it was extremely interesting to see a Earth human use technology that civilization has already discovered to become a large businessman in a fantasy world, I can't for the life of me figure out how it is connected to the ongoing war against the Venetian Empire. I get that the Entesians wanted to fight a hidden war using the CIA to infiltrate and destabilize the nation, but was that really the best they could think to do? It just doesn't seem very connected or focused to the overall narrative. Again, the story is held primarily by its premise, and I hope it regains focus soon.
    -Grammar
    Nothing to write home about here. Words are rarely misspelled, sometimes there is odd phrasing or a missed punctuation, but they are hardly noticeable.
    -Character
    This is a weak point for the story. None of the characters feel right. All of the people from the fantasy world sound like angry video game NPCs, and we barely get a glimpse into what the Entesians are like aside a few mentions from their president and staff and a cameo from Barack Obama. Our main characters are kinda empty. Kai fe

    The more chapter I read, the more cringey it becomes. I love the story from the start but I don't think politics works in the way the author writes it. Backed by United States, and still not powerful. Some characters are so stupid, naive and cringe. If the story will go the same way, I won't read it and I will warn everybody that this story is the same as other cringe stories
