You write so well and with proper detail as if I was feeling every suffering that the MC is going through. Good job, I will not eat or sleep the same for the next 3 days.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad the writing hit home for you!
BANGER
waow what a fucking experience
I really really liked how you just went "and then it gets worse / more harrowing" at every turn without break. the capitalist hellscape. everyone you have any ties to is dead. the bodily alientation at the hands of the military. the anxiety of trans isolation among cis peers. the flesh mechs. the loss of other girls. feral mechs as a concept. the digestion. just sheer and utter suffering for zuri and the others and I fuck with it so hard.
the grey and fleshy color palette was really evocative too. the obvious parallels between the big grinding nutrient paste and the war is so nice, considering how disgusting and visceral said war is.
Hell yeah, thank you very much for your kind words Snek. I love writing a good visual novel that gets worse at every turn, and I'm glad you enjoyed the experience.
ooo is this tf/tf?
Honestly, its more like... trans fem who has things happen to her that would be considered sexual and erotic to some folks. But she doesn't have sex with anyone, really. (There's layers to this but I don't wanna spoil everything in the 1-2 hour visual novel)
So do we think this is a good fit it bad fit for this collection I like to share?

I'd say so!
great! Added :]
this was absolutely disgusting to read, in the best way possible. kudos <3
Thank you kindly!
This VN was an incredible experience! The vivid writing combined with perfectly fitting gritty art and a soundtrack that felt strangely beckoning at times made me feel immersed in this VN's world the more I kept reading, which paralleled the story in a cool and uncanny way. It really gripped my senses all around. I loved the gory and brutal concept of the mechas here, and I also really enjoyed the detailed catheter scene - it was such a nice touch!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad that you enjoyed the experience so much!
This was fantastically grim and visceral. There's a level of uncomfortable detail to all the minutia of how the mechs operate, how they meld with their pilots and all the physicality of it that this doesn't shy away from in the slightest, to the point it turns back around to being cold and clinical despite the grossness of it all, and it's not easy to reach that point. The descriptions were delicious, and it felt as cold as the sheet metal around them and as awfully warm as the torn insides all throughout this.
Absolutely loved the worldbuilding of the mechs too, it felt like a natural escalation of the living mech idea, mixed with the crushing apathy of the army. Despite being so short, this felt exactly as long as it needed to be to tell the story, and I loved every minute of it.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad that you enjoyed the worldbuilding and descriptions so much - it was fun to hash out and write it all.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Joy. Everyone worked hard as a team on this and it was a wonderful thing to see it all come together.
Jesus christ this went fucking HARD great job id love to see more
Thank you for your kind words!
I really liked all of the specific details in the writing, it made the setting feel very vivid. The music and art were awesome the story was interesting, exciting and horrifying. I knew that they were bio-mechs from the description but I didn’t think they were gonna be THAT biological lol, what a cool and freaky world! Also, regarding the title, there were many moments that made me think “bug grinder” in several different contexts. Awesome work.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Everyone worked hard on the project, and so I'm very happy with it, and glad that folks are enjoying it.
