I've been hyped for your stories as always. :D The only one I'm not keeping up on is Capital Wasteland, with Brink and Back being my favorite.

Tim Meinert

Loving the forward movement in Brink and Back, Star Wars is probably my favorite, but im enjoying all of your projects. Keep up the great work!

Alita

Star Wars: Battlemage is my favorite and I am enjoying it.

Well I’m satisfied with the two stories I do read. Brink and the Back is peak and can’t wait for the deep dive in Halo tech. And I’m hopeful for the change made in Capital Wasteland. The ball is in your court for how proactive they can be now so I’m looking forward to it. As for your other stories, I’m just not a fan of Worm or Star Wars. I tried them anyway but they couldn’t keep my interest like the other two. That’s just a me thing, nothing wrong on your end. I’m quite content right now but I am wondering what the next one will be about. Maybe a more Medieval Fantasy world considering the lack of it out of your works.

I joined for Star Wars and brink and back. Those two have always been well done. Capital lost me for a bit and I honestly had to force myself to get started with reading it. The changes that you are putting in seem to be on the right side of things. But that will show in how you balance it all. I tried to stick with brocken mage. But honestly any SI with even a smidge of knowledge of the universe and access to Celestial anything is going to be steam rolling that setting pretty bloody rapidly. Any real struggle after like the first ten rolls is entirely manufactured and just puts me off. That's all from me aside from a thanks for the awesome stories that I enjoy.

Brockton Mage is suffering a bit on the once a week schedule and stagnating a bit. Still my #1 here Brink and Back is going at a good clip. Very excited to see how Halo fits in and how he handles it when the corpos finally take him seriously. #2 Battlemage is going at its own pace and has probably hit its stride, but it also kinda feels like it is treading water until their forces can take on the Empire. Might be time for a time skip. Capital wasteland is my least favorite. I think it’s still trying to hit its stride. Will have to see how the new system affects it

Brick and Back is my favorite and I can't wait to see how Halo is going to affect things. I think Capital Wasteland is more getting interesting since the change up.

andrew rousseau

Battlemage is good as always, even if i do wish theyd pjck up more CIS cap ships and Droids to expand the fleet significantly, wasteland is pretty good looking forward to seeing more build up on that front also wondering if they'll eventually pick up any Angry Boxes (M113A4) as a transport

Will Iam

The Brink and Back is my favorite of the lot and by some distance From the others I would say Brocton Mage, then Battlemage then Headquarters in that order. I'm not a fan of Starwars and yet I enjoy Battlemage. Headquarters is one that seems to be lacking the most direction and seems to advance at a slower pace than the others (Battlemage is way too fast, few years and it went from 0 to giant organization with no internal problems, bureaucracy issues or things like that which is nice but also a bit strange for the universe where bureaucracy almost destroyed all). All in all I would love to see more Brick and Back even if there is less of the others.

OdinMage

Battlemage is where I found your work, and it's great. Marvelous Mage is awesome as well. The story I love most, so far, is The Brink and Back, which has grabbed me and kept me interested to an amazing extent and I eagerly await new chapters of. I haven't read Headquarters yet, but that's more a time issue and not that I'm not interested (well, that and while I enjoy the games, the Fallout universe isn't one I find as interesting as the others, I still plan on reading it, though). Basically, you seem to do great work no matter what kind of story or what universe you're writing in, so keep it up!

starvires

The Brink & Back is my favorite then Battlemage & Brocton Mage.

Owlfurret

Brink and back is the best in my eyes, then battlemage

RegularReplacement

I'm enjoying Battle Mage and have really no comment there. Brink and Back, I was very leery about Halo, but when you said it was UNSC Tech Tree only that put to rest the majority of my concerns. Now I am wondering how bad it's gonna get when Noah gets to build a ship yard and I could see Noah doing it on Europa or Titan.

Straven

Honestly loving each of them, though brink and back has me shivering quite a bit! Loving all of them.

Stephen

Brink and back is my favorite and the entire reason I’m here. I somewhat keep up with Brockton mage. I tend to read a few and skip a few

Nicholaus Lee Kim

Brink and Back is my favourite. Eager to see the other Corps reaction to his arrival. As the information black hole that he is will keep the, pointing fingers at each other.

Colin Poitra

Brink and Back! Brink and Back! Brink and Back!

Artman

Brink and back, as many have said is also my favorite. I read all of them. Your recent change to Wasteland is for the better.

AntaeusTheGiant

Well, I like Headquarters and Brink and Back, and can tolerate Brockton's Mage. Couldn't really get into Battle Mage, probably because I resented that you dropped Project Bastion and thought Battle Mage was pale by comparison. Headquarters is really similar to that story, though, so I'm really liking it!!

Anthony Maxwell

Well I kind of wish that your cyberpunk tinker of fiction updated more than once a week and that you added more secondary perspective chapters as it's really the only story I like that you're writing. I tried reading your other story I thought most of them are interesting ideas and started off strong but at some point they just kind started to feel boring to read and it felt like a chore to read the other story & I'm not entirely sure why I feel this way about the other story even though they are some amazing ideas that should appeal to me.

itsfutile

honestly? i have been a bit out of touch so to speak. lately i have been craving practical evil protagonists. and to be completely honest all of your stories have only good protagonists. i think the worst ive seen here is chaotic good. its nice how careful and practical your protagonists approach problems but its all about helping others and not enough helping yourself for me right now. i suppose its a phase. i might come back to this once i can stomach all the goodness again lol. it might be too much to call it too much rainbow farts for me... but thats my vibe at the moment.

That Warden

The brink and back and battle mage are the only stories I like, tried to get into the worm one but I'm sick and tired of reading about that world and I tried headquarters again a few days ago but it looks like stuff just started happening so I'm gonna wait until more chapters come out. Honestly would like to see you make a elder scrolls story just because you're good at world building and I'd like to see what you would create.

outlaw

1. Brink and back 2. Battle mage Wasteland i wait for multiple chaps to read when I don't have anything else Fell off on brocktons mage

I honestly enjoy the stability that your storytelling and posting provides me, I have a hard time with consistency personally, so I don’t much mind what you write about. For example, of the stories you currently posting I am completely unfamiliar with the worm universe. Everything else I can follow along with, but I still read it because I like the way you tell stories and I like your consistency now if there’s one critique I can make it that everything is so smooth sailing. Now this is expected as the protagonists of your story have a certain amount of meta knowledge, and I’m not saying you should be killing people off left and right like it’s Game of Thrones but I think it’s missing a certain “shock value” like if things are gonna go to plan/negligible losses, and the only limit is how far you can really push what each protagonist can do then it might be prudent to produce more side stories with reactions from other individuals. That’s the “shock value” I think people are craving. But back to the start I hope whatever you choose to do is feasible for you your riding style and your schedule. I’ve been subscribed to other individuals who write amazing stories and simply get burnt out on overproduction or just don’t like what they are writing anymore. Good luck, I hope your success continues.

I like the direction of Headquarters and have always enjoyed Battle Mage. While I quite like brockton mage it is the current weakest in my opinion, despite having dealt with the local villains it feels like its just spinning its wheels? Maybe some more quests or interesting magic interactions? Maybe find a magic item or summin? I have been enjoying Brink and Back the most, particularly with everyone's interactions with mc. Might be a bit controversial but maybe open access to another world for Headquarters so the MC has some more choice in daily actions? (Maybe even make it he can only enter one a day like if he also unlocked mass effect or something he would need to pick it or horizon as the world to access for the day. Maybe thats a bit too messy.)

I really like the story so far. The frequency of updates is awesome. The small acquisition missions are getting a bit stale to me, as each is for assets that would be demolished by any significant force. I can understand why people requested the Katana fleet before, as it partly solves the problem of manpower for capital ships. I'd love to see some more naval battles, especially with Imperials. If you could find a way to work in a mass recruitment so that a proper capital ship could be manned, or something similar, I think it would open up a lot of potential for striking small imperial targets that are protected by a decent fleet element. The Skyforged aren't likely to build a big fleet of capital ships, but even just one or two good destroyers would give them a backbone for their other ships to escort. At that point, they'll need to be ready for casualties, though.

Ray Ray

I like Brink and Back, couldn’t really get into HQ and Brockton Mage. My favorite and why I keep coming back is Battlemage. I’m excited to see how the F* with the empire and Vader. Also curious how they gonna deal with Palps. More Mandos and clones! I love when people include them in stories, not to mention how the Jedi are being incorporated in their military and day to day lives. Love it. You gonna have them rescue any of the canon named clones? Or bring them in? Like Rex or something.

Ray Ray

Also! I vote for them getting the Katana fleet before Thrawn finds it. And how they gonna deal with him? Everyone always writes him as some super genius that can out think and maneuver anyone.

Feliprins

Indeed, Brockton Bay is too small and the pacing feels glacial sometimes, there's also the fact that he is fighting for the homeless, but well... they are still homeless, would be cool if he built a residential complex and hired people for a business or something like that, but so far it feels a bit hollow to fight for just a spot for people to squat in most of the time.

Feliprins

Kinda waiting on critical mass to get into Headquarters, Brink and Back is amazing and I so wish for more of it, Battle Mage I had to stop for bit around the Covert rescue due to not really being all invested into Clan Syr (felt a bit repetitive having to convince more mandalorians and all) but got back into it in the present, I like your rendition of the characters and how they interact within the world, Brockton Bay feels like amazing potential, but the magic feels a bit too restrained as to how it was portrayed in the beginning (the idea of bringing fantasy setting into a mix with Worms sounds interesting) but ended up being lackluster in the superhero fighting with cool powers and witty confrontations with hyper psychics capable of foresight, becoming a bit of a street hero who protects the homeless squatting spot, I had big expectations and felt a bit disappointed at that.

Ti2

I came here for brink & back. The other stories are pretty good too from what I have read. Pacing is quite slow for most of the stories though. Probably because of how the system is set up for Brockton bay mage and brink and back, where it’s a weekly/biweekly setup for unlocks. I’ve found myself skipping a few paragraphs in Brockton bay mage because there’s too much info dump or the overly detailed justifications the character has to make all the time for his every decision. Also idk if it’s just me but Brockton bay mage comes across like an overly emotional wimp most of the time. Capital wasteland is early on but it’s insanely slow and my least favorite. Last I read dude only had 2 soldiers, when his goal is to make an army. Battlemage, I think I read it for a while (before I found brink & back) and dropped it for the slow pace and just lack of hardship. Don’t be afraid to have your MCs face some losses, or to even have people getting killed off. As long as it’s meaningful to the narrative. Cuz right now, it feels like all your novels are pulling punches in this regard. In the end, slow progression is pretty par for the course for web novels. You gotta make your bag somehow. I like your novels. Thank you for your hard work.

Gerald Lenard

Brink and Back is definitely what im mostly after love where the story is going tho wish the romance would advance some I know slow and steady and all that but I liked when she was being all possessive of him it was cute

David

Same, mainly here for Brink and Back, like the others as well, but that's def primary

LordGenesis

Brink and Back All The Way

Cole Deucalion

I'm going to end up echoing that brink and back is my favorite. But SW battlemage is a close second. And I feel like those two stories balance out really well, because the Star wars one isn't quite so slow but it still shares elements of building up something over time. I think you've done a pretty good job with the battle scenes in the Star wars one. I can't quite get into the headquarters one, one mostly because it feels like a slow builder like brink and back already is. I feel like if I would to get into another story of yours. It would need to be something opposite of brink and battle mage, something that's more chaotic or with an MC that is less like the other MC's. Like an impulsive one or something?

HYP3R

I am a subscriber because of battlemage, but I really enjoy your base building stories, and I am excited to see where you take the fallout story. Would love to see more in-world interaction with the new, larger team. One thing I would say as a general point of feedback is that I wish the chapters were longer, and am definitely willing to accept a less frequent update schedule for more substantial content in each chapter

HYP3R

Would definitely agree on the hardship point. I think you are very good at the inching progression, where the beginning of the story has a character come up from nothing, but the only major setback in battlemage was Vader’s appearance, and Deacon still ganked his fleet. I think in both battlemage and BBMM that you need to find some better antagonists or more hardship to pit the characters against. It feels like they are sailing a bit too smoothly these days

HYP3R

The Katana fleet is not going to be used I think this was previously established

FoolishlyReading

Brink and back was what got me here, Brockton Bay mage was a nice bonus, kinda hard to read through star wars battle mage, and last but not least capital wasteland is okay I'm more interested in the different worlds than fallout. Overall the stories are slow and can be a slug to read through but I like the progression that's happening.

Calibos

i'm really liking everything so far, kinda newish, so I haven't read all 5, but I should catch up in another week or so

Nameless

So far have been an active fan of the Star Wars story, Brink and back, and certainly of the wasteland story as well. Kind of been lagging behind on the Brockton bay story. Mostly enjoying the scifi tech/wasteland stories the most. But still enjoying it all and eagerly awaiting the next chapter as usual

Coldfire142

I currently keep up with brink and back and the starwars story. I have not read the other two yet, but i plan to. So far I'm enjoying them.

Ray

need to move brink to twice weekly now things are starting to get interesting

AlmostGreen

Enjoying brink the most with battlemage and wasteland being tied for second. Wasteland has caught my attention a lot with the new system change and the focus on progression in the fallout world though

Travis Brown

I’ve been reading battlemage, brink is what brought me here. The only issues I have with either is in both how much the mc’s focus on bringing our worlds rules to different universes. It feels preachy and our world is crap too. I wish they would better adjust to their new reality instead of always hemming and hawing. In both they have 100+ body counts but also want to triple check that the criminal has done something bad enough that he would be a bad guy in our reality. It’s easily the most annoying and hypocritical thing ever. The mc’s NEED to adapt to reality. Or you need to make them suffer for being out of sync, in night city everyone kills to survive. In Star Wars billions are dying in a war, he needs to treat the galaxy as it is not as a Disney movie. Less moralizing based off earth values.
