Great concept and nice play with the three factions. Having the Havoc work as a foil for the Plague even though for this conflict they are on the same side is interesting interplay.  A series of stories following the Plague in this way would be fun! While the story is strong, the central character did not seem troubled at all, so felt the theme's focus was not firm for me

Was the narrator working for change, plague, or both. it is hard to tell. Over all i liked the story though.

A quite interesting look at the perspective of classic bad guys. The writing style served to highlight the narrator's strange perspective well, but could have probably been cleaned up a bit. I may hate all plague brother adjacent factions, but have to admit this was a novel read!

Love this concept, wish you had given it more room to breathe! There's something interesting here about how do the havoc brothers understand their work, but I didn't really get a moment to sit with it in this story.

This is a good read, definitely leans a bit more into 40k lore than OPR lore but I'm willing to look past that for this one.

Maybe this is me showing my age, but your story put me strongly in mind of the classic Warhammer character Aekold Helbrass, who inverts the 'traditional' imagery of good and evil by being a champion of darkness whose steps bloom with flowers and new growth. I liked your exploration of the psychology of a Plague Brother here. The contrast between the two different perspectives of the Havoc warriors, and between the narrator and the Battle Sister, worked well with the theme: I saw it as exploring the idea that no-one, not even a Plague Brother, sees themselves as "Evil" and their actions as "wrong". The work was a little choppy grammatically at times, and I encourage you to be careful with your punctuation to maximize your readers' engagement. I did like the detached style of the narrative as it worked well to give me a feel for the narrator's personality.

I liked this take on Havoc Brothers. Didn't seem to have the topic question addressed unless it was about being seen as the gross one of his peers for following Plague. Pretty solid story, though.
