    Reader note

    This is a female-oriented novel with a 9.5:0.5 Female-to-male character ratio, meaning almost all the characters are female. I really enjoy reading it; the writing style and the plot are excellent. The only downside is the relatively short word count, which makes it less enjoyable. There have been over 2000 requests for more updates. The base is portrayed as relatively fair, without excessive exploitation of survivors. If you enjoy stories about slave survivors, this won't suit your taste. Don't accuse the author of being a saint; if you feel sorry for the male characters, don't read this kind of story. Finally, a major drawback is the low proportion of male characters and the stereotypical portrayal of men, suggesting they might betray the base for even a small benefit.
