This ist the third time I started reading this - the first two times I didn't make it past the first chapter. I didn't immediately connect with the characters and mixed with the violence, sexual content and a lot of swearing it just was too much for me (I knew these things would be included, but I have to be in the right mood to read something like this, which I wasn't apparently). This time around I made it past the first chapter and started really liking it. The conflicts have a lot of potential in the longrun, the characters started growing on me and the art it really stunning. I am very interested to see how the story evolves because I think it can explore the consequences of violence and war in a meaningful way.

It has VERY sexually graphic scenes that make it very hard to continue reading and are very distracting. It’s fine if the point was erotica but it seems to be a shock factor

Beautiful art, character designs and world building. It gives the reader a new look on the complex nature and effect of war, people, society,etc. The characters are great, especially Marko.
Also, there are sentient robots with TV heads. Hilarious.
