I can already say a couple of things; just going to paste my progress reports.

"Funny, surprisingly upbeat writing style, with a bizarre cadence.
Not complaining though!
Reads like the diaries of a far future red-pill nofap fascistic, 'toxic masculinity'-brained insecure dude shoved into the far future and told to do stuff.
Except for the ocean part, techbros loooove water, the ai needs it lol, but i can see what David was going for, and tbh, what we are doing is, in some sense, just as absurd."

It's funny where it shouldn't be, bleak when you least expect, with surprising humor and some .. some quality i dont know how to verbalize yet.

the consciousness of stronghold 10, his background, his kid, his kid's love in the past, his kid's plot in the present ... weird place all around, Moderan, weird place indeed.

Stronghold 10's visitors are ... interesting as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

The writing is ... wonderful, just very character and setting appropriate, it adds soul, nay it IS the soul of the book (this may or may not be an exaggeration)
