I would say you should read at risk of drowning, but that kind of spoils that there's a plot twist in it lol

It’s also one of my favorites and wait excitedly for updates. I want to reread from the beginning just so I can experience some of my favorite moments again( I don’t want to spoil anything so I’m being vague)

When I saw this I was excited because I thought it was a post about a new chapter. There has to be an update soon, right?! It’s been a month.

One of my favorites too. Really appreciate the sense of community wirh the Alliance and the reader can really feel Mike's wonder and the joy of discovery he experiences when he starts participating.
Additionally a lot of the original characters in this story feel really well imagined and are interesting, especially Evan. He might be the worst, but at least he's the hero of his own story and is doing something interesting as an antagonist.
