OK story porn aerator

Story was OK. Nothing spectacular very white on story elements but quite heavy on action. Unfortunately, the narrator sounds like his vocal cords have been absolutely trashed by heavy, smoking rendering him very monotone.

decent story

theres some hidden gems in the storyline. good sci fi is based on good science.

did not enjoy

had a hard time getting through this I pushed to the end hoping somthing would spark my interest. I just felt like there was some commando yelling out made up amounts of rounds he could push down range I did not see or here any tactical movements plots. the humor was dull and felt pushed to hard to be crude. not a whole lot of background or character development either.

A bit too "Power Dream" for my taste

​I’m all for strong female protagonists, but Xi Bao was a bit much. The "prodigy pilot among criminals" setup had promise, but the execution felt a little cringy. She’s constantly disrespected despite saving everyone repeatedly, only to win again in the next impossible scenario. I love the mech genre, but I need more tension and fewer tropes than what was offered here.

It's just not good

I wanted to like this book I was looking for a good sci-fi but this book isn't it. With unimaginative names like Kamehameha that help remove immersion in the book and subpar writing makes this book an overall waste of your time. if you're looking for a sci-fi epic look elsewhere this is very disappointing.
