Hey Lp, hope your doing well. Perfect timing on the new chapter, literally just finished a re-read last week. Really feels like this chapter is setting some side characters up to die. Have mercy mighty author.

Btw was that an honest to God Kendrick reference?

"Sometimes you gotta pop out and show people"?!

Honestly every time you update I forget how good your writing is. The section with Zaeed was *chefs kiss*

Always great to see you making progress here. A lot of nice development of characters and opportunities in this chapter which work well and lead not only in the direction of SB's fight but also what must come after. You do a particularly nice job of pulling the skeins together in this chapter and characters take the time (in most cases) to think through their actions so they make sense and are in 'character'.
Thanks loads for your hard work on this, I will definitely look forward to that chapter before the end of the year if it proves possible to produce.

Ah the premiseveese. Where cthulu is the helpful and saner option versus the peers you have to work with. Pretty laid back space horror here. Although controlling humans as overtly as his fellows do the bararians would be counterproductive. After all you do not want an explosive to be so stable it fails to explode.

I cannot express how re-reading this epic at various low points in my life has allowed me the distance to process grief by utterly submerging myself in your world. Thanks to you and the EG for all your effort.

Having read all three of these fics without leaving a review so far is poor form by me, I binged the library of your fics within the last couple years, not having had the experience of reading them in step with you publishing them.

I just wanted to say that this series is one of the best I've had the pleasure of reading on this site. I love the changes you've made to the story so that you can make it your own, all the OCs, lore changes, and additions make OSaBC an absolute blast to experience. Mass Effect is perhaps one of the best IPs of all time for me, and to be able to enjoy it in this unique way is really special for me.

I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you have been going through these past few years, but I hope you can find the joy you once felt with the outlet of writing and creating in this universe.

Thank you for making a great story that we can all enjoy, I very much look forward to enjoying more of it.

finally caught up, and goddamn that wqs worth it! looking forward to the next one!

Is it just me or did half of this explanation sound like the Maker shitting the Blight out onto the world after Corphy-shit danced the Waltz in the Golden City?

And Shep got the Orb of Destruction now.

For the past week I've been binging all three main stories in the series. They are absolutely breathtakingly amazing.

Thank you for writing and sharing this magnificent opera you have crafted. I am in awe of your story telling and world building skills.

The only problem I have now, is that currently no other mass effect story is able to match for me the quality of this one ;)

Holy shit, this was fantastic

What impresses me that Lethath is under no delusion that he is good.
Really, this whole encounter is wonderful. It was really time for Levis to appear on the stage.

Things man should not know indeed. Cant wait to read the reactions of the rest of the team on this. And im especially curious about how Vigil will act and how his plans will be impacted from this or if he cant escape his programming and keep going preparing for the next cycles. Great job, what a nice way for 2024 to start.

Beyond excellent.

Well worth the wait.

Damn!

Always good to see you working on this. Tremendous twist, and one that I think your Shepard would make, likely even moreso before her reconstruction but still, very nicely done. Thanks loads for your hard work on this, looking forward to future installments.
