I loved my readthrough of this, kept my attention throughout with amazing hooks left for the reader to speculate on. Followed by amazing plot threads throughout the story, imbuing real world problems realistically in the overall plot of the story. Ill start off with writing quality. Very consistent punctuation throughout making the reading process easy and understandable. The descriptions and delivery for the reader is excellent. Painting the picture clearly without spoon-feeding it to the reader. Stability of updates are very consistent. Throughout my readthrough a couple chapters dropped as I was binging it. So I wouldn't worry to much of lack of updates. Story development is so thorough, paced well. Making the overall development a treat to watch unfurl. Without it just happening all at once. Interactions with characters, what happens from that, underlying corruption in the works. All delivered from seeds planted chapters ago. Giving the reader the satisfaction of seeing it fully develop overtime. Character design is incredible, each character having they're own personality beliefs and mindset. Followed by very unique names making them really stick in your memory. The author succeeds at making they're characters feel life like. Realistically portraying their interactions with others. World background is very complex, the groups involved in this story, thread into each other in very unique ways from the past and the present. Allowing lots of history to be presented to the reader and the stigma that followed it. All in all I would highly recommend this story to anyone. Very captivating story with great characters to further that. The power system having its own spin on things alongside other unique weaponry is just such a breath of fresh air. Very excited for future chapters :D

The writing is so AMAZING that I can live through the pages not just imagining n stuff --- it is so descriptive and you'll most likely lose track of time, The storyline is interesting though this isn't my usual genre of read. Overall a fantastic read!

Ascendant struggle will get you hook and immerse into its militaristic powersuit(?) warfare right of the start with its high octane action scene. Author holds just enough information near them to keep the reader wanting more of its worldbuilding while at the same revealing just enough to feed the curiosity appetite. Characters(so far) have their own motivations why they are in the fray, which made me attach to them. The prose is good, however, could work more on dialogue. It sometimes confusing on who talking to who during rapid exchange. Adding actions in between could be the solution. Its a solid 4.8

A pretty unique take on the Military + Mecha subgenre of sci-fi that would keep you wanting to read more. The writing quality is *chef's kiss* perfect, and the way the author depicts scenes would make you see vivid images of them. Definitely worth reading!

Ascendant Struggle will hook you faster than a fish on a line! It's got all the high-octane military action you could want, plus just the right amount of worldbuilding to leave you hungry for more. The characters are a motley crew of fighters with their own motivations, and I found myself rooting for them from the get-go. Keep the good work going on author!

The Crown's Obsession

[Mature content 18+. No rape] "Your bed is cold," spoke a voice in the room that had her eyes go wide in fear. Nervously, she turned around, gulping softly to see a shadow on her bed as if someone laid down there. The man who had been lying down sat up emerging out from the shadows where he had been waiting for her. "What are you doing here?" she asked when his feet touched the ground and he pushed himself up to start walking towards her. His handsome features looked darker than usual because of the lack of light in the room. "I came to meet you," he tilted his head, "Where did you go?" "I went out for a walk," came the quick reply that had him smile, a smile that scared her the most. She took a step back when he came close to her. It didn't stop him from cornering her, and her back hit the wall behind her. He raised his hand towards her face, and she closed her eyes, scared. She shuddered when his fingers trail down from her temple and her jaw and neck. Her blonde hair was left open. "In the middle of the night?" she didn't answer him knowing he could decipher her lies through her words. He stepped closer that had her turn her face away from him and his words vibrated on the skin of her neck, "Did you go to meet him, my sweet girl?"
