I love everything about this book except the fact that it locks the chapters starting from chapter 14. I love the concept of a futuristic world and the writing is definitely great but it sucks that you have to use fast passes and/or unlock chapters so early on, and you can't really enjoy the book without spending.

Author here coming in with the 13th review, so you don’t have to, lol. Wanted to take this time to thank everyone for all your support. I appreciate all of you, even if you’ve only read a single chapter. For those who comment regularly - sorry I don’t respond right away. I can only see them if I review the chapters over and over (or if I visit your profile directly). And for those who don’t comment at all and just read - I want you to know that I see you, and I appreciate you. For anyone who wants to chat, feel free to reach out via Discord. Hope you all continue to enjoy the book and I hope to see you all at the end!
I am giving the low world background because of the physics problems. The author mentions speeds like 200m/s 100m/s as the maximal speed of some engines. They are in space and in space, there is no terminal velocity other than the speed of light so engines can keep accelerating until they reach it. In space, the speed is almost of no consequence. The only important is relative speed or delta-v (delta velocity). That is a difference of speed between two objects. If the author wants to express the power of engines he/she should express it as acceleration and not speed. Speed starts to matter only in the atmosphere because the friction of air introduces terminal velocity. To surpass this terminal velocity you need to increase engine power and when the speed increases so does the friction so to keep increasing maximal speed you need to increase engine power. In space, there is no friction and therefore no force that limits the maximum achievable speed of shuttler/ space fighter/rocket/missile/escape pod. The only terminal velocity in space is the speed of light and only when objects is moving in relativistic velocities the engine speed maters. So if there is some engine speed limit it should be in percents of C that is about 2000000 m/s upwards and more likely 10000000 m/s and absolutely nowhere as lows 200 m/s. I like the story but these physics problems introduce in me a such massive dissonance. (That is't how reality works like). The other sci fi things aren'T that problematic but this is to me so fundamental that it breaks me out of the story. And it would be so easy to fix it wouldn't affect the story much and I would be glad to give a much higher rating than what I given now.
The story is interesting and I even like the Characters. Grammar is good as well. Unfortunately the plot development feels inconsistent with the world as it is painted. Recruits are killed during an exam against bots, when there is absolutely no need for them to die. A military base on Mars is attacked for hours on end without Reinforcement from anywhere while the whole planet is supposedly a major military hub. During the attack Recruits lead the defence instead of their Instructors etc.. Physics in space also makes no sense with a maximum speed dependent on the engine (below light speed). There could be reasons for all those things, but if there are, they are never explained. Essentially thinks happen for the story, but make no sense.
very good! the author is doing a great job. It's hard these days to find a job whose female protagonist is not a militant freak who hates and curses men at the first opportunity she gets..this book is written with mastery, the protagonist has a good brain in the head and knows how to reason and judge right and wrong.!!
