[chapter 1]
Not often I get hooked on stuff quick, but I did with the simplicity of the line “Skin was necrotizing again. Gotta get that replaced”
Already the word choices here are like brain candy for my synesthesia. The whole “left arm” segment just dances.

I’ll keep going before I geek out, I’m excited though. been waiting to finally push myself to read this
gahhhh this is making me want to write again, even if my story is like leagues different and a whole other genre entirely. Stuff like this makes me miss my own oc’s, I’ve neglected them terribly lately
[chapter 2]
If you get me attached to these characters, I swear to god

I can smell it brewing already. I already care them but my gay ass is gonna get invested

Really digging the varying biology going on here. I don’t know if we’re getting an explanation for how it came to be, but regardless of whether we do or not it’s still interesting

I’d like to point out I’m quite tired and about to go to sleep (will read further upon waking) so essentially this is my bedtime story. Can’t wait to see what this does to my dreams
Weirdly fitting chapter for me to land on as my last of the night

Aaa that whole part from “and so that was that” to the chapter ending. Somebody needs to give the Teacher a hug

“Well, maybe we can speed up the process?“
The teacher had that twinkle in he eye again.
Hello??? Oh my god

I very rarely eat meat that isn’t poultry, so my decision to make bacon for once and read this chapter over breakfast was very uh. hm. Interesting
The timing of that burning flesh and pig meat part was something lmao

i Need to know more about what the teacher’s deal is, she’s been through some shit clearly
An aside: I dig when characters in apocalyptic hellworlds develop sort of wry morbid humor about all of it, as the student does here

This is completely irrelevant to the story but student’s mecha heart reminds me of a dream I had where I got a cool robot heart and got excited to show someone, tried to take it out to show them and brag, and promptly died due to removing it. 10/10

[chapter 10]
So the description of preparing this biomechanical fantasy meal legitimately made me a bit hungry.
I like how the machine elements are woven directly Into the organic matter instead of just augmenting it yknow

“If its all the same to you my Student, I’d like to fall unconscious for a while.“
The Teacher’s lines are so good

Wait hey. oh my god. the demon. the mother thing. Hey what the fuck did teacher do

Living for the descriptions here. I dunno how to explain it but i like when i can tell a story’s universe extends beyond just the main characters, like giving the surroundings personality and history of their own

In hindsight i couldve probably just condensed that to say “i like the worldbuilding” but unfortunately i am incapable of shutting my mouth and must shove nuance and specificity upon everything
[chapter 14]
this whole world is just grimy and festering and visceral and it’s really interesting
In a lot of ways this story is completely polar opposite to my typical writing style which fascinates me a lot, i’m not someone with a strong visual imagination so >

Someone having the capacity to imagine these sprawling labyrinthine places and create these environments is like. A really novel thing and hard for me to wrap my own head around, especially since my stuff is grounded in more realistic and contemporary settings
There’s something to be said about the emphasis on decay and rotting in this story whereas mine is largely focused more on like, the legacy and preservation of things? Then again I don’t talk about my story much so I dunno how relevant that thought would be to anyone except me
[chapter 16]
Tempted to make my next display name “gangly grey bitch”. That’s me.
Tied between that and “2426 degrees of bullshit”
