Please excuse my poor english, This is the second starbound fanfic i've ever read, and if you're tired of those wuxia, cultivator, and those narcissistic prick then i shall say this novel may be perfect for you. And don't worry if you not familiar with the lore or never play starbound before, the author kindly covered and explained it all (and chucklefish may gain another starbound player). So far, The story is following the canon, with a bit spice of lore and interstellar conflict. And i can't be amazed of how underrated this novel is, i mean it's not everyday you can read sci-fi fanfic in this website. But to be honest, starbound lore is full of hole, the overpowered personal warping and teleportation, the races background, device mechanism, and i hope the author explain the outpost in details, i mean a dimensional HUB is should be gigantic, sprawling cities, advanced ship in the port, armory of advanced tech, or maybe that's why they call it "outpost". I think The author should add his own lore, or fill it with crossover or better yet maybe mods, i'm sure it will give him the idea to progress the story other than the canon. Other than that it's all good, just need a bit of realism. And i love this novel, hope you the best. I don't mean to act bossy, and cocky. But if you found this review offending then please send me letter, i will apologize properly.

Oh, hello there. Author here, Don't worry about it, I already have a explanation about why the outpost is so underpopulated, it might take a few chapters for it to appear. As for your other suggestions I will take a good look in my plans and see what I can do, they are really good (I have neglected the mods, because I only played the base game and the Frackin Universe). Thanks for your review, fellow Starbounder.

Have any of you ever read a book that breathes? One that jus took seemed realistic enough to take a life on its own? Because this is one of them. I am not saying this as an exaggeration. I mean it as it stands, as I find this book incredible and much more deserving of views. Let me preface this by saying, I did not play the original game it was ‘based’ on. I also use the word based loosely, just as this book takes a story on its own, and there was no need for any backgrounds info or experience from the original source, and I was immersed by the time I was at Ch 12-13. Now, the grammar is great. Indisputably so. It is a sight for sore eyes on this side laden with bad syntax. As for the characters, I do love a Main who is willing to be ruthless when it counts. We all know that’s a ***** hero isn’t interestingly anymore, but I have read many originals which try to skew as far away as possible, turning our Main into a hateful massmurderer, which in my opinion is worse. This book finds an acceptable (even interesting and innovative, I think) middle ground between altruistic superman and homicidal maniac. For the world building, I quite honestly don’t know which is original and which has its origins in the game. So although lovely I will refrain from any comments. But what I can judge is the interactions between the characters in the world, there conversations, attitudes, relationships, and I can say that I feel submerged in a world that is not earth. What I do struggle with, but that is really small, is the writing style as sometimes I find the same words repeated over in a narrative passage (a personal ire taught to me since elementary school). But let us be real, it would not be a problem in the myriad of different, much worse, originals, so it won’t be one for me here either. You know what the say, when everything’s perfect, the mistakes just turn more glaring, and what would never ge an issue in mediocrity can be in great works. So I will leave my review at 5 stars. No less, no more. I think this may have gotten me into si-fi ^^’
