Plastic Primrose
[Mature Content Warning]
Sitting down in front of her television, Selma Walsh watches in horror and disgust as a former classmate's name is broadcasted in the weekly execution schedule. Growing up in the New American Coalition has conditioned Selma to seeing these atrocious acts as just normal occurrences, no matter how terrible they are. However, seeing the name of someone she once loved leaves her feeling truly afraid of her fate.
Centuries after the 5th World War has left most of the United States uninhabitable, the NAC remains as the only safe haven for human life in Eastern America. However, with fanatical leaders left wishing and romanticizing life before the Darkness, strict laws were placed.
Now, once a child becomes an adult, they are expected to be married and to immediately start a family. Those that are not, are conscripted into the military for skirmishes in areas outside of the safe havens.
All for the betterment of humanity.
This is my story. If you want to say anything about it, I will gladly accept an sort of feedback on the story or if you just want to talk about it.
This review is part of a swap. I got major Evangelion vibes from the cover. When I saw the first chapter's title, I knew I was in for a treat, lol. The writing quality is probably in the top 5% of the whole site. The style is much slower and more introspective than most readers will be used to. This is a grim, dystopian story focused on the main character's internal life. If you enjoy reading "real" books (especially philosophical scifi), definitely give this story a shot.
this story is deeply rooted in reality and many can relate to the characters and the raw emotions displayed.kudos to the writing style,it added richness to it..keep up the good work
Interesting read, I'd say... The first person perspective hooked me in, especially with the way the authors describes the occurring events. Quite early to judge, but honestly, already see great potential from this work[img=recommend]
Your book is really good. the plot is very strong. The arrangements of characters are well. keep it up waiting for the next chapters. I hope you must complete your book.
Interesting stuff, even the dark parts were quite interesting to read, I just can't help but want to see more of it. Keep up the good work, and I hope you do well.
WoW!!!!.... It is really intense. For a moment , i forgot that i was reading a book and not watching a movie... that is how good it is. The author's writing and depictions of events are very vivid!
The descriptions are vivid and you can really feel the emotions as you read. The story development in presice. I enjoy the writting style used.
A fantastic novel that leaves you eager for new chapters. It's quite early to make any strong statements but I like where the story is going and I'm hoping the updates continue. Keep updating this gem author!
Great read, The raw emtotion displayed from the Mc point of view is a very nice touch, I really like this writing style. Nothing I could really fault about this. Great work keep it up.
I was hooked right from the first sentence. The writing quality is extremely amazing. You can feel the author slowly draw you in. At first it's just a basic setup of the world background and about the character's life, then suddenly you are thrust into the middle of a TV broadcast that not only sets the stage for the story by highlighting the current state of the world, it also beings in a personal touch to the motivations driving the main characters. I believe this story has great potential going forward. Best of luck!
Something about the writing is very easy to follow, and I can feel the MC's emotions and what is going on. It helps me root for the MC a bit, so keep writing this way.
