The character of Nico and the way she interact with the MC is confusing. It give the impression she is the MC. The MC is supposed to be reincarnated but he forget his memories instantly and she keep hers(that the MC more or less "plunder"). So it gives a portrayal of Nico way more impressive that of MC (kinda feels like neo-feminism to me). Not to sound sexist or myso but if u pick a story with a male lead to have the FMC in all point equal or even superior u better read a strory with female lead. Must we male feel pathetics and inferior even in novels now to suit the social trent?

You are right in that Nico is portrayed as a pretty OP and competent female. But Max is still THE ALPHA male (the american flag waving in the wind behind him, soldiers saluting and guns shooting). Nico feels more sidelined later in the novel, though relevant. The only problem is that everything happens so fast, yet nothing feels urgent. [If you feel pathethic and inferior in your daily life it could affect your reading of it.] 😔

I've read up to ch. 600 Initially takes places in the Universe of the Kepler Empire where the MC is reincarnated into the baby of a drug addicted looney mother with amnesia of his previous life that he slowly regains with time. The pacing for the prologue of the story from the mc's birth and until he's graduated the military academy as a crusader mecha pilot leading his own company is lightning fast which is great as nothing gets stale during that section. During his time at the academy he becomes unspoken friends or battle buddies with the female lead due to them being their only rivals and similar A-rank system compatibly. The novel take heavy inspirations from WH40K mecha classifications and design, infantry being fodder, commissars, inquisitors, and emperor. With the WH40K style of military it gives the early engagements with the mc a gritty vibe. From the academy and till now him and the female lead have been through it all together every step of the way with some flirting here and there that now seeing them finally hit 3rd base felt very special. The only negative of this novel is that it's getting boring that the interesting mecha combat and strategizing is being interspersed with 3 dozen chapters of introducing various new tech and socializing with characters you don't need to remember the name of(envoy's aren't even given a name lol how lazy). Once the advent of the colony ship arc the story has taken a steep downturn in effort and it appears that the author has become lazy and greedy, as the recent chapters as of late have been full of useless chatter and dialogue with the purpose of padding out the chapter with otherwise microscopic level of substance. It's take 3 or more chapters to get the same substance of a regular chapter. This author needs to shape up or I'm dropping this novel.

I liked this story... up to a point. If you are interested in mechs, mech battles and upgrades, this is a story you'll definitely like. This story painted the lifestyle so well it almost made me go out and purchase the latest Mechwarrior game out on Steam! The world background makes sense, the character backgrounds are interesting and a bit mysterious, and their progression makes sense and is consistent. The only thing that was off for me was their emotional states. Most of the time, the emotional reactions of the characters are within human norms and are believable. Kids get frustrated with their parents, or are wary about their teachers, or have a love of mechs because they are "cool". It's later on in the story that I have some issues. When a big loss hits our main character, he doesn't seem sad per se. He just stays around to do what he can then moves on to complete his task. There is little to no reflection of him mourning that loss or that loss affecting him emotionally or inhibiting him. Later, he finds what he has lost but there is no sense of real relief from him. It's just another day, it seems, and life goes on. The same thing happens to the other characters around him. They encounter losses but don't really feel the loss. It's almost like they are brainwashed or on drugs. Or it is just a tragic story that happened on the news. It doesn't affect how they live their lives (even though it happened to them or people they knew). So while overall I'd rate the story as a 4, I am dropping reading this story because of the lack of emotional development of the characters. If you don't really care about that sort of thing and love mech stories, it's worth a read.

Ashes Of Deep Sea

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"
