- AaradurRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Now, im reviewing this after only the first chapter, so I will definitely be updating later (around chapter 10 seems good?). I have greatly enjoyed Wandering Agents other novel, melody of mana, which is how I found this. This story is very different though. Rather than a fantasy story based around magic, it seems heavily inspired by Bladerunner, though the premise seems to share many aspects with Jennifer Government. A futuristic/SciFi novel with political and phlosophical elements. Certainly, I am excired to see where this is going.
- ShaorakaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0TLDR : Great premise with a good writing, characters sometimes meh but overall a promising fiction.
So it's still quite early on as I write this, so it's hard to really tell where this will be going but we can already tell it's going to be good ^^
For starters the writing is nice, no typo/mistakes I can see, and it flows smoothly, not too rushed, or too descriptive.
It's not the author's first fiction on RR, and Melody is long enough that I have high hope for where this'll go, although the author does have a tendency to push forward ideas and subjects they want to talk about, even if it doesn't quite fit the story sometime (in my opinion at least) and the characters tend to be quite simple.
The premise all by itself would have interested me, and the start had me hooked on the story aswell, tho Jason is kinda... Awkwardly simpleminded ? Like as a character. Still a great dude tho.
All in all, you shoud give it a try if the tags are your alley, at least I will.
200 words ??? That's a heckuva lot words inn'it. bla bla bla bla words ? - VespaRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Rarely do i get hooked on a story right away, especially after i just caught up with a different story. In the first few chapters i was wanting more of this story. The exposition is smooth and never feels like an info dump or a wall of text, as well as being interesting. I dont know where the story will go now, there really isnt much to lach onto to theorize what will happen. However from whats already been written i cant wait to see how the worldbuilding will play out. Most scifi stories of a futuristic earth show a depressing and dismall situation, but this one shows a population making up for its earlier mistakes, but not quite out of it yet like some other stories are. From what ive read the story has potential, and i expect it to turn into a well crafted work.
additionally the quality of writing is good, will h almost no mistakes that stood out to me on a grammar or syntax level.
the four star rating right now is because the story isnt far enough in for me to give it five stars, but ill change my review later based off of how the story grows. - orangepeelRoyal Road★★★ 2.5So this seems to be an ok story, nothing great but no glaring weaknesses either. There is a few internal consistancy issues. I am not really sure where the story is supposed to be going, probably why it is on hiatus.
So far it tells the story of a prison guard android when androids get an update and now can think for themselves.
