I've been following this fic for years, reading every update and periodically rereading the whole thing. (I only just figured out that I can leave a review without having to create an account, very belatedly...) This might honestly be my favorite fanfic ever. Much love and appreciation to the author!

What a great story this is. Very interesting world building. I hope to read new chapters in the future (although the number and volume of the existing ones is already amazing)

First of all "GLOMPS"

Second of all, sorry it took me a while to review: the past week has been...crazy, I guess you could call it? ...Yeah, crazy works.

So, this ended with a Wham Line: The Conspiracy have become, for all intents and purposes, cyborg MGs. Subbing their bodies for drones is an odd choice, but given the many mods a drone can have and the enhanced mobility? Yeah, I can see why they'd go for this option. Catches the opponents off-guard, too.

Signs that the Ceph are in-fighting has reached the MCs, not to mention the reveal that they're the ones stealing the Grief Cubes. Mami's gonna love that, to say nothing of how she and Yuma are gonna react to the Cyber MGs. As for why target Ryouko's family? Did someone leak information to them that she'd be dangerous, mayhaps? That would require precognition, though...or a mole "remembers the secret pre-war base" The plot thickens.

Ryouko seems to be feeling more at home among the aliens. Me thinks Madoka has big plans. Does Homura know about them? Does the Conspiracy? I'm invested in this mystery now, for sure!

I think that we have received foreshadowing. I think that /ThinkerPreserving have a goal to escape from the limitation of reproducing on Great Sea.

There is a sentence that ends suddenly: "to do otherwise would be what you accuse /ThinkerPreserving of". It is grammatical; initially I thought that it wasn't because it had been overtaken by events. On the first reading, we missed the one-word name for refusing the consensus.

The Thinkers' society continues to fascinate, but I'm sure Ryouko is getting antsy by now with the total lack of progress on getting herself back to the Milky Way. And things keep getting worse back home, while Ryouko takes the sort of vacation that's proven ineffective for her in the past.

Well, that explains why all efforts to find these rogue magical girls keep failing. They were looking for girls, not drones. It seems almost crude to use a throwaway military drone as an MG's body. I suppose the terrorists don't have the resources to do better, and it would be disadvantageous for their stealth if they could. Now that the cat's out of the bag, though, such entities are a liability for them; they're far easier to destroy than normal magical girls once drawn into open combat.

Another fantastic chapter. Always leaving me hungry for more. I prefer quality over speed so keep on as you have been. Ive come this far, I intend to see it through.

Ch73. Wait a second. Doesn't think Big enough? Is someone aiming to kill the Goddess and take her place while also remaking world in their image? Cause it the only "big enough" I can imagine in such circumstances and with stakes so high.

Also, drones with magical girl gemstones inside? So, they even may be not sentient or cognizant enough to realize what they are doing, controlled by AI, or altered via necroma... Ahem! Soul magic. That actually sucks.

ৡ is not defined in the account of SAH humanisation in chapter 66.

My best guess is:
- the fit between words and the world is various. In successful descriptive words, the words are adjusted until they fit the world. In successful imperative words, the world is adjusted until it fits the world.
- the default is descriptive ~ word to world fit
- the symbol reverses the fit to imperative ~ world to word fit

The source for the philosophy of fitting is probably "How to do things with words" by (the students of) AJ Ayer.

That's a hell of a risk to take for /Thinker-preserving. Even if he succeeded in kidnapping Ryouko's relative, what pressure would his Tentacle have even tried to apply using him? Clone him to later assassinate Ryouko perhaps? The possibilities are pretty nonsensical, so I look forward to finding out what the intent here even was.

On re-reading, it is crazy there are so many plot points in these early chapters.

It is great to see it is still ongoing.

If there was mass uploading the Incubators would lose a source of energy

"hugs"
And so, Ryouko has become the latest Ceph 'fad' in terms of pref-spec body design. Interesting. Wonder if this will spill over into the war or not? That'd be a shocker.

And...Misa? Is that you? :O

I liked the insight into pre-telepathy thinker communications. I was instantly reminded of that video where a cuttlefish hypnotizes a crustacean by strobing its arms. Maybe thinkers conceptually understood infohazards before the age of information.

Is it just me or have the Incubators been growing ever more terrifying during the course of this story..?

If it wasn't reading Ryouko's mind, was it reading Clarisse's? Or perhaps it was the one that sent the vision? Or perhaps the Ceph were monitoring her mind and he was reading the their data? That sounds like his kind of misdirections...
