trying to spread the good word. i’ve been about as aggressive about this as i am about utena, though my success rate is lower for some reason (the reason is that one is a reasonable length tv show and the other is a 1.5 million word web novel)
never seen utena but you and u/ashinadash got me started on Unjust Depths the other day (I didn’t realize how long it was but got curious while procrastinating) and I’m now scared for how long its going to take me to finish lmao because I’m in deep. I was up half the night reading it last night, and maybe 1/3 of my workday today
this is gonna be like whenever I get into a new webcomic but way longer isn’t it?
yeah it’s so nice to be able to read a scifi story of this kind and completely root for the heroes without reservations or going “well they’re fighting people who are worse in this case but they do basically represent america,” not even getting into how nice it is to have all these trans lesbians
it’s INCREDIBLY refreshing, and not at all subtle.
I think you might be underselling it slightly by not mentioning that the setting has catgirls I laughed out loud when the narration was like " CAT-LIKE EARS TWITCHED", more people need to read 1.5 million word web novel.
I was spooked by the length at first but now it’s like, okay so exclusively sapphic ensemble cast featuring catgirls and trans mech pilots, and it doesn’t end??? I’m gonna pay for this because I want it forever ❤
i didn’t know it had catgirls when i first read it, and it reads as totally normal to me now. like, of course it has catgirls! and yeah, i get a massive new like, 10-20k word chapter every other week where i either get cute gay shit that always has at least one trans woman involved and often has more, kickass mech fights, or lengthy political diatribes that i eat up like candy. or if i’m lucky, all three
if i mentioned catgirls i’d mention a couple other things that you haven’t seen yet, which i’ll drop under a spoiler box just in case you’d prefer to be excited
not a real spoiler
doggirls! and elves! and various type of fishgirl! and they all have distinct cultures that are a delight to read more about
OF COURSE it has catgirls why the fuck wouldn’t it?! This is such an easy sales pitch, everyone should be reading this. I convinced the goodreads commie lady to read it lol.
I’ll sequester myself from the couple other things and come back even more hyped in all likelihood :) I really thought this was gonna be the all-Murati-all-the-time show, but I’m shocked at how much I love Yana. Everyone thinks she’s a pro cause she cleans up well, but actually she is trash
Also is this mega the best place to yammer about it? I have tons of little thoughts I could be spilling 24/7 so I wanna make sure I’m clogging the right thread or comm with em.
hell yeah, i keep trying to get more people to read it but somehow this pitch isn’t working literally everyone i talk to? but i’ve now gotten at least 3 or 4 people to read it through this site, maybe more who didn’t mention it or who i’ve forgotten
i post most of my thoughts in the general site mega, but when i’m talking about new updates i also post in the trans mega. everyone on this site should be reading it, but like. especially the trans posters
That is a pretty good rate actually, usually it’s harder to get people onboard with long serialised stories. But we have to get more people onboard!! EVERYONE should be reading it
Okay cool, I can sort of evenly divide my postings for both! Also a leviathan just showed up for the first time(on ch3.7?) and woooooah
Wow, they really were… I’m definitely gonna be rewatching Utena… a lot.
Edit: Thank you for Utena posting so hard, this is one of my favorite shows now, and I never would have started it without seeing your recommendations.
i’m literally always saying this
More and more people are saying this!! :)

you might be there a while, yeah, took me a few weeks reading it pretty regularly. how far in are you?
Arc 1 Intermissions [I.4]
apparently
it’s really good I didn’t realize how much I needed this
it’s not very subtle but that’s kinda my exact shit for some reason
yeah it’s so nice to be able to read a scifi story of this kind and completely root for the heroes without reservations or going “well they’re fighting people who are worse in this case but they do basically represent america,” not even getting into how nice it is to have all these trans lesbians

Just started Utena today after seeing you recommend it a few times, so I guess I gotta start Unjust Depths soon…
I’m on episode 29 of Utena now, and I’m downloading the Unjust Depths epub for when I have more energy to read next week.
yesss, hahaha, YESSSS
the last 10 episodes of utena are incredible, and i hope you enjoy unjust depths!
Wow, they really were… I’m definitely gonna be rewatching Utena… a lot.
Edit: Thank you for Utena posting so hard, this is one of my favorite shows now, and I never would have started it without seeing your recommendations.
yeah…
the finale always gets me, i’m sobbing every time
i’m always happy when people enjoy the things i enjoy! i’m really glad to be able to expose people to new things, and i’m glad you enjoyed!
