I’m really really intrigued by this story! I think my only real critique is that there’s a lot of terms and things being infodumped all at once (particularly towards the very start), which makes it confusing to follow at times. I had to reread some things several times to make sure I got it all. But, regardless, I found it all super interesting, and the character dynamics portrayed are super fun. I’m already hooked and will definitely keep reading if/when you decide to release more of it. ^_^
