   I'm recommending a promising book. It's slice-of-life, but there's plenty of action. The early chapters start with Pacific Rim, featuring pilots in the second-generation Rim series, using a mecha similar to Sabre Athena. The middle chapters feature the Vanguard-class Titans from the Titanfall arc, and the later chapters include the Darth Vader Gundam series, with appearances by Franks and the enhanced Unicorn Gundam. It's definitely worth reading. Please give it your support. This is fanfiction; the protagonist is a time-traveling character and will be accompanied by multiple female leads.
