★★★★★ "Thoughtful explorations of morality, altruism, justice and mercy..."

✴ 500+ chapters, a complete story in six volumes.

✴ Dual protagonists. One brain, one brawn. Progression for both of them.

✴ Multi-POV because sometimes you gotta see reactions & outside perspectives.

✴ NO EASY WINS. The Torth Majority is extremely powerful.

✴ No graphic sex, not a ton of gore, but the traumatizing content warning is there for good reason. Expect adult themes.

I have been reading this book for awhile, and it is definitely worth the read. This book has made me feel anxious and triumphant while also teaching me a surprising amount about the humanity within us all, freedom, maturity, and so much more.
This is my first review after several years on the site, so sorry if it isn't super specific, but I felt the book deserved it. A lot of books here can be like candy, delicious and savory, but some like this one hold more nutritional value than most.
Give it a try, it's worth it.

Both MCs are beyond overpowered but so are their foes, who outnumber them 2 to trillions. Together they pull each other out from death and despair over and over again till you wonder if they work together is anything truly impossible!
Side characters too are just as well written and relevant, surprising considering
Just as badass is how well the characters mesh together and their growth, how realistically portrayed the cultures seems, both of their enemies and allies. How differently they each treat our heroes and how our heroes react to them.
Despair comes and goes, but so do wins eventually! My advice is to please stick around the more hard to consume parts for things DO GET BETTER INCREMENTALLY for the characters
Not all of them make it though...
Enjoy this thrilling space opera with secrets and powers galore to unlock through both Mind & Brawn!

Fair warning, this story depicts scenes of tortue and gore, they are not the focus but a reminder of the odds stacked against our protagonist. A roller coaster of events and emotions, I can't wait to read more. A slow burn of a start but gripping all the same. When push comes to shove, what will you do to survive?

This book is very well wrote. Wasn't expecting this level of professionalism (?) when I started reading. Held off from reading the story a while when I saw there would be 2 main characters, but im glad I bit the bullet and started reading. Both main characters have their own place that they excel well in. And don't get me started on the side characters. Very well written story in all aspects. Give this story a read or you'll be missing out.

This is a really good story, once it takes off it really takes off well, the begining is intruiging and the chracters are all well fleshed out. i disagree with the complaints in the nature of the 'bad guys'. I think anything not-human is not supposed to think like humans by their definition. A lion is not relatable, and usually takes being raised from infancy to even be so (before inevatably lashing out in a venue in las vegas). its always refreshing when authors implement that into thier stories, i really like the concept of the antagonists. this is a great epic story with good action and really good emotional connections that i would definitley reccomend and have really enjoyed reading.

What an absolute ride. If you like tension, world building, psychological thrillers, scifi, you're in the right place.
I've read a lot of stories on this site, and I can say this is probably the first of its kind. The first of its merits is how unique it is - while I've seen the themes used elsewhere, they mesh together into an epic scifi thriller that I was certainly not expecting at the beginning.
It begins humble, with a boy and has family, hinting at the greater world. The pacing is a bit slow at first, but it does a great job building until the plot suddenly explodes into action.
It keeps you on the edge of your seat. What do you do to evade the constant scrutiny of your mind from billions of other minds? How much can someone pretend to be a monster before they become the monster themselves? What are you willing to give up in order to survive?
Do yourself a favor and give this story a try.

This review is based on the first 13 chapters.
This story follows (for now, at least) Thomas, a young man capable of reading the minds of other people and absorbing the knowledge of the world around him. Sounds cool, huh? Sadly, his fate was cruel, forcing him to be unable to move on his own and giving him a limiting life span.
But while fate may be cruel, Thomas himself is not. He saves another character in the prologue from making a possibly horrible mistake and tries to help people around him. With his unusual ability, he is able to gain an impressive amount of technological insight, building a device to extend his life. However, being stuck with a body like his, his options are limited...
Or are they? When an alien civilization that possesses the same ability as Thomas finds him, everything changes for him and his friends.
The story is awesome. You can feel the boiling rage and self-hatred of a character in the prologue, along with utter horror that all might not be lost. Thomas' struggle feels real, his foster sister and the second protagonist are awesome as well, along with aliens and the way they speak.
I found no mistakes. The style is fantastic; the way aliens express themselves feels unique and special, and it immediately catches the eye.
All in all, a solid five stars. The story moves at just the right pace, the action is easy to understand, and the descriptions allow for easy visualization. If you are looking for a new web-serie to follow, this story is for you. If you are looking to be hit right in the feels, check out the story too, it is that good.

Enjoying this immensely. It is well written, well paced and interesting. Not too far into the story yet but i have high hopes.
backstory is not glossed over or overexpositioned. Enjoying bonding with the characters in a natural progression and understanding their relationship and motivations.
also happy to see a non litrpg here! Definitely a good change of pace. Looking forward to reading more.
Edit: updating since I've caught up to the releases and gone into the meat of the story. This almost feels like the best and strangest sci fi murder mystery where the murder of a civilisation is pending! In any case, I've gotten even more hooked and cannot wait for more releases.

I don't get to read much these days, let alone leave reviews, but after reading the first chapter, I'm already deeply attached to the MCs. The story itself is VERY well written, and the emotions are harsh, but REAL.
I know the author gave a warning in the first chapter notes, but if you are a dainty little sensite flower, this may not be the story for you. (At least the first chapter)
All in all, fourteen thumbs up, and now I'm going back to read chapter 2.
