Very cool :)

:D I am already looking forward to your next story!

Thank you very, very much!

Thank you for the feedback :) You are right, I should have proofread more.

Yeah the 1000 word limit is limiting sometimes.

But your story nevertheless is amazing and I had a ton of fun reading it. :)

Very, very good. I enjoyed the themes you chose and the characters. The description of how the hole in the roof came to be, had me laughing out loud. :D

The only thing I would have liked to know is why the orc blasted into the room in the first place (his original purpose before encountering the fight). :)

10/10 

The themes you chose and the characters are on point!

Nice. A very, very good story! 

In the second chapter I didn't at first understand who was fighting whom, but that cleared up.

Can't wait to read more of you!

I liked the battles description very much :)

It seems to me, that this is the first part of a longer story, that I would love to read. :)

Nice. Exeptionally well written!

A nice twist on the conceptions other factions have about the ratmen. I really liked the story and you managed very well to give both protagonists personality.

A heads up about the time of day: 

In the first paragraph "he lay under the moon’s gentle glow" and in the middle of the story "It was nighttime by the end, [of the fight]". 

Was it night all the time or was it evening in the beginning?

I really likey the atmosphere of the story :)

Haha, thank you :)

Yes, this is art. Very good story! 

Theme: on point

Clarity: on point

Feelin a connection to the characters: I definetly had it.

10/10

The title made me nearly not click it, but curiosity weighed more.

It's fucking amazing! I like the humor very much.

I got confused by the "neutral gender" of the orc and thought there were two orcs in the cell ^^
Also, was the orc in quarrel over strategies with the outpost leader? Which position in the outpospt did the orc have to get into strategic quarrel? Or was he just going waaaaghh because orc's do so? 

Pls. more stories! :)

I like the scene where the main character gets "seen at" theough the rift. This reminds me a bit of Sauron's flaming eye on top of Barad-Dûr.

There were a few issues with jumping between past and present tense i think, but when that is worked out it's a nice read.

Thank you very much :)

Thank you for the feedback :). 

Yes, I noticed for example that a few sentences are to long.

Thank you very much :)

It's a realistic military story and it feels like the atmosphere is sound and tight (so very good!).

The at first deliquent Donighue becomes brave very suddenly when shtf ^^

The moment were Brookes throws himself behind the nearest tree to get out of harms way, played vividly in my "theatre of mind" (nice).

I'm looking forward to reading more from you.

I liked the portrayal of the High seer as a character and the ambience of the story.

The flesh-eater really came out of nowhere and felt a little "D. ex-machina". It might be fitting though, as it mirrors the surprise of the mawed down elves ;)

Maybe a hint or two in foreboding about the existence of the flesh-eaters on the planet would go a long way. 

All in all I liked the story and it made me think about Eoin Colfer's writing style in the "Artemis Fowl" series.

I am intrigued of how the story continues. I got victorian-era vibes mixed with vinci tech and i think it checks out well.

I couldn't quite clearly see the "Unlikely Allies" part of the jam. Maybe the mistress who consorts with a vampire?

Edit: I have read your answer to the other comments.

I liked the distrust the psychic had against the "general" and how you portrayed it. It seemed realistic and fitting.

I really, really like the story. The presented themes are captured very well and the two main characters are convincing.

I had a little problems finding my bearing within the first paragraph, as I didn't immediately understood who was fighting whom and on which scale (ammount of ships involved).

After I found my bearings the story impressed me!

The last part of the third chapter gives me strong politics-thriller vibes in a good way. 

The story is written in an interesting style, but i had problems to find my bearings in the story until the third paragraph  (were the jailed dwarf gets fed by the tube). This might be fitting though, as it mirrors the disorientation the dwarf suffers from his captivity ;)

I didn't get as much a connection to the main character (the dwarf) as I would have liked. I feel that I don't know much about him exept for him beeing a soldier. What are his hopes, what drives him? Does he see a future beyond his captivity, before becoming entangled in the warlords plans?

On the other hand It felt very easy to connect to the Warlord, as his aspirations are layed out cristal clear. Also he becomes likable because he wants to overthrow a (presumed) tyrant, making the reader nearly forget how he treated his captives in the first chapter.

I hope to read more of you in the future :)
