- KaelikRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Evil government/corp hybrid in the post apocalypse is bad, and the only thing that can make the world a better place is one extremely cute and overpowered protagonist and the power of her gay love for her girlfriend(s????).
It's great, you should read it.
Specifically: The MC is delightful, and she gets to be nice and fun with her friends.
The world is a post apocalypse dungeon dive economy and the evil government is doing the latest stage of capitalism. Delightful dorky overpowered dungeon resident being gay as hell and doing crimes is the only solution to this problem.
The writing emphasizes the sweetness and chillness of slice of life while the characters are in fact fundamentally working towards overthrowing the government to bring out equality, and the stakes don't feel stressful, but are still clearly present in the backnground of most scenes.
