For starters, i like how it took inspiration of Japan Summons so that i had an actual foothold of actual context about this new world, besides that, i really like that the author used the Kaiserreich context for the german empire, it was a nice twist since i expected a 1914-1918 germany so i was like a fish out of water when i read that germany france and austria were fighting the ottomans and the manchurians.
on to the actual story, without giving too much spoiler, i absolutly adore the way you portray the economic side and war exhaustion of Germany, although i feel like it could've be more interesting that although germany got it's dead soldiers back, it's industry didn't, so they have to repair everything for the coming enemies.
besides that nitpick i love this take since it deviates so much from the original work of japan summons, both in tactics and ways to approach everything considering they just were in a bloody and costly war.
also one point that i think is way too overlooked is the whole, dead soldiers came back, since i think it would make an awesome sub plot like a sole chapter about normal life now that husbands and sons are back from the dead and everything, that would be neat.
one last nitpick is that it would be interesting to see how the germans adapt to the magic, like maybe a magic that serves as a remplacement for grease and makes maintanace a breeze or how it would affect in the creation of battle rifles or automatic rifles like the stg or the fal or even in how to make the engines not overheat so easily allowing more stress on the motors of the steel beasts.
Anyhow, i'm a history nerd if isn't obvious, so works like these absolutly facinate me and make my day, so keep on the good work author, you are very skilled and passionate on what you are doing so i wish you the best of lucks and cant wait to keep reading more of what you write.
bye
