This story is fun. It's a good read. I mean, let's start with the protagonist. The other kammiverse protagonists, are, truth be told? Babies. Kalia is 23, Robin 17, I dunno Redd's age I think she's in her 30's so okay she's the one other non-bebi, Maya is like 26 tops, Bridget is 23, Cynthia is 28!
And then here comes Karen in her 40's with a marriage behind her back and a shit job and down on her luck and an adorable cat baby and the doubt over being able to transition at her age, and suddenly BAM. Powergirl! Supergirl! Kryptonian Pretty Lady! 20 years of her life back and a chance to be herself.
But, the surprising part is Canada's quick response. Like, cops not being really gun crazy during the Emergence, Canada going "we're making our own Avengers." It's an interesting direction for that part of the world to take. I'm definitely excited to read more of the story as it develops.

Anytime a character has incredibly strong powers it's then usually up to to the character's personality to carry the story and make it all interesting. Kathyrn crushes it so far. Can't wait to see where Karen goes in the story.

Kathryn is an adept writer with a string of immersive stories and setting of her own creation. With The Guardian Kathryn has written a faithful adaptation and addition to QuietValarie's Kammiverse.
Read if you are interested in how a person reacts to apocalyptic world changes, gaining powers beyond their imagination, having their dreams realised and learning what the cost will be in a world full of fear, bigotry, ambition and greed.

Well it's a lovely story so far, the main char is likeable but I also see some problems.
Still I really hope that it is a long story and continues for quite a while why mabye getting a little better.
the problems are:
*An undhidden Agenda
*Mary Sue Warning signs
*Breasts and the MC and some other things that feel inconsitent or out of character.
Lets start with the unhidden Agenda.
This story is political, strongly pro Transgender and LGTB in generell, and strongly opposed to anything opposing them in RL. and while I have no probelm with that and am really no freind of trump personally I think it's really is a bit thick here.
Secondly the creeping marry sue bit.
She isn't one jet and superhero stories are generelly very forgiving in that regard but some glaring warning signs are there so far.
MC looks really good.
Other Chars fawn over her both for looks and good characer traits check.
MC is really powerful
MC has the Moral high ground
MC'S chosen name quite similar to the author name so it feels a bit like a self insert.
Some mild spoilers so far regarding the first 8 chapters.
The breastsfocus
She is kinda Powergirl so far, but then some of it doesn't make sense. If she were powergirl the breasts wouldn't be moving too much given as how taught and durable the MC has been discribed so far it wouldn't hurt also normal clothes wouldn't help to contain them given how quickly she moves.
Also some other nice but otherwise illogical stuff so far has been.
Also it had a few bits of fan Service moments so far but then they are mostly funny
Eddited one negative point out that isn't valid anymore, also the breasts are less of a focal point in later chapters, and I guess it's reasonable to explain how somebody feels about big breasts if she had not had them before.
For that we get a bit of comic physic in one of the latest chapters
She does a Jump and it's a bit extreme in my option as it doesn't show a consisdent po

It was great to get to read another story that stays faithful to the Kammiverse. It could do with a little editing/revision, but the story itself shines through that and I would definitely return for more chapters if the author returns to this story. Each of these stories encourages me to start one of my own in this universe and it is good to see that this one was updated more recently than most.

Enjoyable read. Interesting characters and all.
There is an overuse of "I thought" though. The story is written in first person. So it's obviously in the main character's POV. There's really no need to put "[sentence], I thought" everywhere (sometimes it's even in mutiple sentences in a row). This is especially true in the beginning of the story
Spoiler: Spoiler
" A bachelor apartment in the Christie Pits is the best I can afford, I thought. At least the area is nice during the day. I wouldn’t want to be out too late after dark, though, I thought. "
and this is just one example. There's something like this almost every paragraph in the first chapter. I'm not saying that you should never use that but it's really too much. You could use italics to signify thought or just formulate it differently or sometimes just removing the "I thought" part works.
" And it’s all my fault too, I thought. I failed college. I couldn’t keep a decent job." could easily just be " And it’s all my fault too. I failed college. I couldn’t keep a decent job."
