  Yousureimnotarobot has written an Awesome story. If I was an E.T. reading this story I would immediately surrender. The story grabs you and won't let go, the Survivors of the Council's attack make them pay in blood, sweat and tears. The way this story is told is fabulous and a warning to whomever would do harm to a Human individual, ship or world. If only we would defend ourselves from ourselves today, the galaxy would be a much better place.

  I originally posted this as a comment on the story, and the more I read it the more it sounded like a review instead of a comment. I don't normally do reviews. But I thought the story deserved one.
  This is a heinously sad and disgustingly beautiful story. I honestly want to cheer and cry all at the same time. It is one of the most sad truths that in order for most of us to be able to walk in the light, some sad few must stand in the darkness. I feel like I could go on and on and still not do this story Justice.

  I honestly was not expecting much going into this, as the synopsis mad it seem like a typical "humans are stronger because we live on a deadly planet" story.
  This first impression was completely blown away by the story. The story is much deeper than that first impression and really shows why humanity is fighting like this.
  Excellent story from the author, and I'm looking forward to more of their writings.

  Grammar is without error as far as I’ve seen, the story’s written in such a way that it drags you in seeking answeres as to what happens next. Characters’ backgrounds weren’t described but their motivations and intents were made clear as day, each with their own personalities shown within the way they conducted their part of the story, for  example:
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  CMDR Seven’s “Pirates”, “Aargh Protocall” and “Lightsaber”
  CMDR five keeping one black flag up at half mast in honour of seven
  CMDR Six’s personalised drone army and weaponised world
  Overall it is well worth the read.
  Thats all I have to say bye!

  ★★★ 3.0

  The premise for the story is simple and the fact it treats the characters flatly, to the point that they are a literal countdown, is something of a misstep. A logical, rational basis for the story is given, but time and time again do we see incompetence on one side and suicidal charges on the other that lead to a 'yay humans' structure. The battle is boring, and it is wholly predictable with just different themes. The prose is good, but the story and the characters and the plot itself all struggle. Some parts flip back and forth, making it a bit confusing as to where a scene takes place or how the actions of one does not affect the next commander in this countdown to doom scenario. Even if they had not been a literal countdown, the overwhelming destruction of the incompetent enemy would become predictable just as quickly. With no emotional ties and little reason to care, the story does not endear itself to the reader in an effective way. This has the result of making the story boring.

  ★★ 2.0

  The story is the negative tropes of HFY writing, distilled, with no redeeming plot points that I could find. The enemy is pointlessly hostile, naive, and at no point displays any of the thinking, martial capabilities, strategy, diplomatic insight. or otherwise that would propel them to ruling a galaxy. Humans literally can do whatever without ever facing meaningful resistance, while their enemy takes actions that only make sense if you're speed running losing a war. Humanity protests atrocities as unconscionable and then proceeds to return the favor at a vastly larger scale and that's just fine and normal now. At no point did I feel like anyone has strong emotions past the rage that sometimes halfway attempts to justify the idiot ball.
  It's perfectly readable if you have zero ability to think about the plot - the author seems to have a decent writing style and it's free if any major spelling or grammar issues as far as I could tell - it's just utterly lacking in any story.

  There's words here but they don't add up to anything.  It's not like something written by a child because children are imaginative if chaotic.  This is structured like a story but there's no characters, meaningful events, no message no anything.  It's like sometime has carefully and skillfully scrubbed anything good from it piece by piece but if someone had done that on purpose it would be art.  And this isn't.
