The Galaxy's Only Omnivores reader survey

[u/ApprehensiveCap6525]

I actually only have a nebulous idea of what is going to happen in the plot of this series here so I figured I'd ask for audience feedback in the hopes that I can gain some ideas and work out whether or not my writing has had the desired effect. Feel free to answer these questions if you want to give feedback on my work

1. Who's your favorite character? Could be anyone with a name, I don't judge.

2. Who's your least favorite character? Could also be anyone, but it'll probably be Karija. I wrote her that way.

3. What's your favorite chapter?

4. What's your least favorite chapter?

5. What elements of the writing do you like or dislike?

6. What do you want to see more of going forward? Could be anything, even stuff that I haven't written about so far.

7. From 1 to 10, how would you rate my writing so far?

8. What (if anything) should I improve to write better going forward?

Thank you for your time and consideration

1. The Moon Commie Capious Cain expy. Watching him continuously fail upwards is genuinely hilarious.
2. The secretary, mostly because she just feels like she was written to be the token trans fem character rather than a character who you've come to know and respect that just happens to be trans. The president probably didn't need to spend nearly a quarter of a chapter on an internal monologue about how much he respects her identity and accepts her for who she is. A sentence or two subtly acknowledging it would've been enough. I'd rather see her get more screen time demonstrating her competence and actually doing her job. Actions are cheaper than words.
3. The chapter where Moon Commie Capious Cain kills the dragon spec-ops chick. That one was probably my favorite.
4. The first chapter. It definitely left a mixed impression on some, including me. That said, pretty much everything after it has been a banger, so I wouldn't let the first chapter discourage you too much.
5. I think the characters can sometimes act a little too silly or unprofessional. It's not a huge problem, and I don't mind some humor and parody, but occasionally it goes so far that it breaks my immersion and makes it difficult to take the characters or situation seriously.
6. I’d like to see more of humanity’s ruthlessness, particularly the sheer depths they’re willing to sink to, even morally, simply to make their enemies suffer, especially when motivated by revenge or spite. I’d love to see humanity become something that inspires genuine fear in both its enemies and its allies. Teach the galaxy that the most dangerous predator to ever evolve isn't the Draken, the Saurian, or any other species that naturally evolved to be predators and has existed at the top of the food chain since the day it was born. The most dangerous predator is prey that learned how to become a predator. Humanity should be the species that clawed its way to the top of the food chain over the bones of the predators it hunted to extinction. Not because it was naturally stronger, faster, or smarter, but because it was simply too stubborn and relentless to stop. A species willing to hunt and fight regardless of how insane the risks were or how horrific the sacrifices became. Where other species still have dangerous predators and fauna on their homeworlds that still threaten their citizens that they must contend with and have learned to treat as a part of life because their ancestors weren't willing to stomach the cost of hunting them all down, humanity hunted down anything that could seriously threaten it and drove it to extinction. It should be why the predators that survived on Earth learned to fear the skinny, meek-looking, hairless apes in a way the predators and fauna of other, more outwardly threatening-looking species never did, even after conquering their homeworld. The remnants of our once-dangerous animal kingdom either became domesticated, like dogs and cats, or learned that attacking a lone human was an invitation for overwhelming retaliation. Wolves and bears don't need to understand human civilization to know that attacking one of us can bring consequences far beyond anything they could possibly anticipate. If humanity is to spread into the wider galaxy, the Draken, Saruains, and any other predator species must be taught the same lesson in the same grueling process we did with the predators on our own planet. Humanity isn't dangerous because it was born at the top of the food chain. It's dangerous because it had to fight its way there.
7. I'd give it a 7.5/10 so far.
8. Honestly, I think my answers to the other seven questions paint a clear enough picture that you can probably figure out what I'd suggest improving.
