Overall, it wants to be good and I applaud this for trying something different. It feels like someone watched the original Blade Runner and then added some Ghost in the Shell to it.The Good: I like a dark, gritty, science fiction setting such as this. This is not a child's novel, but it is still a familar power-building scifi novel. We have some excellent character descriptions in most cases and the world itself appears interesting.The Bad: The writing quality and word choices in some of the earlier chapters is awful. A simple grammar check would've gotten most of them. (For example: Using bombarded as a noun when it should've been bombardment in multiple cases.) It's trying to be dark and gritty at times and pulls this off well, but sometimes it is taken too far and just gets weird for me. This is purely subjective so I can't really bash it for that. The 18+ scene was... alright. It needs something more or maybe more build-up. Maybe I'm just getting old so it could work for others.The Neutral: Not much to say. The author appears to have experience setting up a good story, but the grammar just needs a bit of help. The story seemed to escalate very quickly up to chapter 9 so I am not sure if this will be a long story or not. Keep it up, though! I'm enjoying it!
