  Nah title says it all aye. It's got an interesting premise, great characters, and a little bit of comedy. What more can you want?

  This is a good story and I've enjoyed it. But I find it hard that the mc can't use his knowledge (the few things he remembers) before the amnesia to figure things out. Good work. Wish you the best.

  Ayy, can't wait for the whole book.
  This story is different, and bizarre indeed. Quite curiously fascinating, though.
  To put it shortly, highly recommend it. If you like star wars, terminator, and back in the future, you'll enjoy this story.

  Read this about 18 months ago and put it on 'read later' because I ran out of chapters.  Today I took another look at my 'read later' list and saw the story was moved to Amazon's Kindle Unlimited.  It's there for free if you have a subscription.  If it was good enough for past-me to rate four stars and note to come back, it's a decent story.   Would recommend you check it out.

  Note to public: As opposed to most works here, expect this to dissapear after you read it.
  Note to author/translator: Please make sure this is available in the rest of the world. Think amazon.de/.fr/.co.uk etc.
  Otherwise, you are left with a lot of people who have no option to read it and are going to be very unhappy with you.

  Review of up to Chapter 10. I will not be reading further.
  I'll start the review with what I liked.
  The Story and world-building is pretty darn good, though I dock a star because it is hamstrung by the main character.. A whole new world order with tech to boot. An excellent implementation of the trope "the more everything changes, the more everything remains the same." Aliens have invaded, and taken over, yet bureaucracy, self-interest and injustice are as prevalent as ever. I will say that 8 months is probably a very unrealistic timespan for the vast majority of the human race to have capitulated and adjusted so well and so thoroughly to the their new reality and the new regime, but all-in-all it's not too hard to suspend that particular disbelief. There are occaisional contradictions, but they could just as easily be a result of Grammar and/or Style issues outlined below than specifically a Story problem. I didn't get to the time loop part, even with 10 chapters read. If it's in the title, find a way to introduce it pretty early, otherwise everything before just feels like thinly veiled exposition, even if it isn't.
  Grammar-wise, there aren't many spelling mistakes and in general it's standard is fairly good, but now and then the sentences and occaisionally entire paragraphs are difficult reading, spending 5 times as long puzzling out what the author was trying to say as you spent reading it.
  The Style could stand for some improvement. Some of the statements come off as pure blunt exposition without much effort to integrate them with whats currently happening. Other things are glossed over where a bit more detail would be really quite helpful. In those cases I get the impression that the author knew exactly how something worked or happened, but didn't quite manage to translate that into the text. Some of the fallout from the character section ultimately affects the style as well.
  Lastly, Character. Main character, Max, starts out with amnesia, a tired cliche itsel

  The Last Time Loop is a time loop story with an interesting premise but convoluted plotting and one-dimensional characters
  The basic premise of the story is that a human suddenly wakes up with amnesia and discovers that Earth has been conquered by aliens and a new society has been established. The MC tries to fit back into his life and discovers that he has somehow been added to a time loop with a number of other aliens and humans engaged in an ongoing conflict.
  The premise of the story is interesting, with the concept of all humans having psychic capabilities enabling them to be power sources having solid potential. However the story very clearly draws heavily from the premise of the 2014 scifi/action movie Edge of Tomorrow (invading aliens use a time loop to ensure victory and correct failures, then the human MC gets added to the time loop).
  One of the biggest problems with the story is its convoluted plotting. Almost all the MCs problems stem from the inexplicable way that he tries to keep his amnesia a secret. There is no actual justification for this in the story, and no apparent reason why the MC couldn’t just tell everyone that he had an accident and has amnesia. This story choice leads to a bunch of drama that serve no real purpose and doesn’t really lead anywhere. Because the MC is tied up pretending to remember things, the plot is only advanced by coincidences or by having information drop into the MC’s lap to progress the story.
  The characters in the story are all fairly one-dimensional, with the MC being the main issue. The author uses the MC’s amnesia as a way to avoid crafting a complex character and developing them. The side and supporting characters are entirely defined by their interactions with the MC, which are themselves largely interactions devoid of depth or nuance.
  The story is well-edited and translated.
  Overall, I don’t think I’d recommend this story.

  Additionally, while this didn’t impact my review/rating, it is worth a mention. Aut

  This is not a complete story. Many chapters are missing. This is just a stub, but it's not marked as a stub by the author.
  Some people might be looking for stubs. A stub is a good way to preview a book available elsewhere (such as Amazon).
  Other people would like to exclude stubs from search results. They only want fully available stories. They won't be happy if a story turns out to be just a stub. And, an author wouldn't want unhappy people leaving poor reviews anyway.
  So the polite thing to do is set its status to STUB. It's better for everyone.
  There's nothing left to review here. There's no book here.

  I discoverd the story yesterday (7 december) and only 14 chapters are available or to be more accurate, everything above had been deleted. The story stop the second the famous loop starting (call it a cliffhanger will be an euphemism).
  I do understand why people who invest time and effort in their work try to make a living out of it but having a transaltor using the site and the community to pull out some advertise bullshit manuveur seems really dickish.
  I think giving people the opportunity to support you by giving them access to early release is fair but tricking them to buy something after giving a test sound more like a drug dealer way to do things.
  I gave a bad score not because the story is bad but because it's not good enough to justify asking for your hard-earned money.
