    I am seeing an uptick of stomach-peeping or outright baring garment among the female youths and trend-keeping adults. So sexy, so radical.

    Godclads is... A soul-punk story. Oh, wait, not edgy enough. Godclads is a perfectly titled... God-punk story. Yep, that is factual.

    After one chapter in, you get the feeling that this isn't your typical monster MC shadowrun, oh, no. This is epic fantasy based, an Eberron where dragonmarkeds actually grafted dragons on themselves.

    But here, we have the pieces of dead gods, and the fuel of such godly engines: ghosts and souls. As one fluff-blurbs say, this setting runs on necro-economy.

    Style-wise, it is very similar to Kill Six Billion Demons, though of differing genre, isekai vs. rebelpunk.

    Would a fic that has 'shipping' tag but actually is about material shipping too trollish? No, I don't actually have a fic like that.

    Anyway, I would say that the story is... Tarnished-dark? Characters are not bright optimists, but they are not grim, while the world itself is sliding into, well, basically death-world situations.

    Also, goddamn, the Varques family interaction is kinda messed up. I would enjoy seeing the truth of that mystifying plotline.

    You know, I try to be open-minded. But sometimes, when I read a story and the MCs develop sudden overt gay... My interest just deflates.

    Like, there are other stories that I read that deal with BL, and some writers that I do follow only write BL relationship, example, esama.

    You get beamed up some knowledge about the stuff as you learn the skill, or spell, or ability, but you are still going to enact the practice of said knowledge using your brain, brawns, and... Black magic?

    Aside from the gritty mechanics, the narratives and world-weaving aren't to scoff at, either. The story is gripping, the characters can get you angry, or sad, or even laugh along with them.

    On the other hand, our team of main characters instead WORK in VR games, earning their credits as NPCs to facilitate great roleplay immersion for the actual players.

    Now, there is a new game, Genesis Engine, an AI-run game that the megacorps are eager to break into, while our MCs also are eager to get into the ground floor.

    Our MCs jumped into a contract to become adventure-neutered NPC Workers, but unbeknowest to the corps and the workers, the AI decided to meddle.

    See, there is a background story about AIs, AI revolution, AI prison, AI prison warden, then AI prison explosion, and then the only remaining AI makes a game, wait what? This is the story.

    But they really, really, aren't the focus of the story. Enter Hineni, a blacksmith, with subclass ash-caster. As the chapters go on, we can see that there are some tragedy in his backstory, definitely related to his subclass.

    Then, we have... Obscura. Owl god. Not a god whose domain is owls, but probably an owl who is also a god. Yes, from this point on, it starts to read like a Chibi-reaper story, with no porn (so far).

    Basically, it is the romcom cliche of tall, dark, traumatized guy, meeting the manic pixie girl who made him laugh. Except the guy is totally PTSD-ed, and the girl is not human and pretty much does not understand human. And she made him want to drown himself...

    Cue horror themes, as our protagonist grows even more deranged as he meets crypto-horrors, alien invasive species, and rando fae hunters... And proceeds to maul them with totally unexpected and uncoordinated flailing, complete with randomly shouted memes.
