Hello, this is the author of The Mech Touch, and I'll shamelessly review my own story to provide some clarification. This novel is my original work and I'm writing it as I go. My goal is to write a webnovel with the consistency and quality of Qidian's mainstay stories. This means that I will do my utmost to keep up a regular updating schedule and upload chapters with decent word counts without detrimentally affecting its quality. I have a decade-long history of writing fanfiction and have published about 800,000 words in a dozen different stories, so I'm an old hand at this. I know more than almost anyone else what readers demand from authors, so I will work hard to meet your expectations. The Mech Touch is a story that I came up with a whim, but found it good enough to start writing immediately. I wanted to write an engaging sci-fi mech novel but from an original premise. Incorporating a 'System' into the story might be a cheap and overused plot element, but its fun and it works for the audience of this website.

LIKEyou wrote fanfiction before? wow, didnt strike me this way. i see stuff happens then i read your novel, epic anime fights, pictures and some old memories reading and playing games and books about mechs. im pretty sure you read the books i mean to. this is one big plus point for your novel...the well drawn and unique setting, second point is how you implement the spirits and gods, the different species and human society's are well drawn and enough to build a living background like dune or starcraft..maybe more like dune, even starwars and LotR feels a bit lifeless. a bit silly are the human interaction and logic, but your creativity about the universe, mechs, pirates, laws, religions, factions, aliens etc. is a hefty pro. your novel is very unique and the system and the petcat may be cheap tools, but tools that work pretty well. the best moment for me so far is a undead mother meeting her daughter in law in a god creation ritual and her communication. that is life? i feel this novel fits my sight on life, and i feel this novel needs a end sometime, because it would be a waste for this unique and living world to die. there are a lot of novels out there, but even if this novels may be not in the top 3, his strongest point tops the other novels. a real sci-fi world with mechs and some mystery like gods and the riddle of life, your novel is for me in top 3 of ongoing novels and last 1000 chapters are so good, it makes it unique and alive. your word about 10k chapters let me hope for a senior master grade and behind, maybe even a legacy of his design...you know living and fighting in a living mech and become a unity with god like powers isnt a bad read. maybe the story of this one mech from his "heir"? is there a point there the mc awake like his mother? maybe become a undying force living in millions of mechs spread over the universe, teaching pilots and create new mechs with the knowledge from trillions of fights and power of a living god? is there living metal? can you create living metal with a spiritual construct and just feeding it along the way? is the cat lucky something like this? my last questions are just hopes for this story, i would hate a premature end like most of i eat tomatoes novels. (1000 years are like 10 days for gods, and the last assencion of the mc to end of the story is less then on day in "realife" for the mc? wtf) just for reference, i eat tomatoes is maybe my personal number on novel author, but your novel makes a lot of hope, the mc of coiling dragon is more interesting, but your world is more color full. i would like to see it on tv some time later in the future, hopefully not cheap chinese cgi style..and thanks for the early meeting father and son with his mother.
Lucasestevescosta:The story is very good. Good job! By the way, where do you get the inspiration for this story? I myself love mechs and always look for games, animes and others things related to mechs.
Oh thanks for replying. I saw that game but my hardware is not good enough for It. Thanks for the tip! And continue your good work. My power stones are yours! You deserved it.
Exlor:You should check out Battletech on Steam. That's my main inspiration.
If your computer is that slow you can try the MechCommander games released in the early 2000s. There's also the older MechWarrior games that run on slow PCs as well.

He can't pilot them. He doesn't have the aptitude, unless he can improve it through the system in the future.
NeAg:I know that he is a mech designer but will he pilot his own mech in the future? because I like the fighting scenes but it is either not detailed or long enough.
Yeah I am hoping he will be able to create a mech for his on use despite the lack of aptitude. Afterall, there are special skills that needs to be unlocked manually through the system.
