    The main contributor continued writing it on a full novel scale at https://deathworlders.com/ .

    However…Imho after about 40 chapters, it really loses it’s way (bar a couple of cool minor plots). And the author goes a bit right wing rhetoric/muscleporn-y.

      God help me, I fought all the way through that 8,000 page monstrosity. I never want to read homoerotic fiction as long as I live, got quite enough of sweaty, muscly men and aliens rubbing all over each other.

        You’ve got the battle for the survival of an entire planet after they all got biodroned.

        How many chapters that actually detail what happened? It felt like all it did was go

        Attack announced, humans arrive and set up a beach head, daar flattens a few cities in the background.

        Then spends more time talking about how he is burdened and manly as a result of doing it than the actual doing.

        The Hell storyline after that gave me hope, as I trudged through chapters of “cor, look at Adam’s muscular muscles muscling”, but once that finished, and we started getting storylines like “Why can’t we have guns in Folctha? Murica!”, I kinda gave up.
