This is the best f****** story I've heard on here so far! I would pay $100, to read this as a book. Keep up the good work! So glad I found this channel! You all continue to be the highlighter beats and everyone of my days. 😁😁😁
For a similar story, read "The Course of Empire" by Eric Flint and K.D. Wentworth. It's a long read at over 500 pages, but worth it. The Jao conquered Earth. but as humanity is more disorganized than inferior they have difficulty completely subduing it.
Wait a dam minute, "NEKOvans", under "observation" by humans, bioengineered, with pointed furry ears and tails. The humans made a fricking cat girl planet
Is it better to hear a woman with a man's voice or a man with a woman's voice. Both men and women have higher and lower ranges, you know, so you can be surprised, as I have, on occasion. After hearing normal women's voices I found the Minnie Mouse voice that Japanese women are expected to use irritating and off-putting.
Thank God I'm not the only one. That female voice was horrendous, had to skip that entire part because I couldn't stop cringing at the voice. Everything else was well done though.
Yeah, the female voice was...interesting. Maybe instead of the cartoon mouse voice just speaking with a softer and lighter tone would be better, rather than a cartoon character.
Eons of technological development, ascending to be seen as “Gods of War”, purging entire galaxies, and still falling back on “Fuck Around and Find Out” Love it
We’ll even let them see our biggest guns if it means they’ll stand down like do we fight amongst ourselves a lot yes but give us a common enemy and watch out easily we can change from sworn enemies to great allies
If I base part 3 on the current power of humans in this story, there would be no story. Just carnage. Maybe there would be a story with regards to the freed individuals, but not of the supremes.
@@Pyanky I agree. Its not about the suprems being erased but more about the transition from "Gods of War /-Death" to more like protective beings and the Vulu and Vadoons inner conflict of being free. Dispite it might be a consequenze against their "own" will.
When i heard the name NEKOvian...and they were under humanities protection...and Bio-engineered...I knew whoever touched them aggressively was going to get wiped from the universe. I haven't finished listening yet I'm 12 minutes in and I am hoping for some fireworks. Edit: Just finished listening, I really want a series from this. Its got the foundation of being an epic story.
Especially if done from the P.o.V. of all the other current races for... at least half if not a majority of it. That outside perspective can be the most interesting when done well.
Terry Pratchett once described humanity as the intersection where falling angel meets the rising ape, and I think this is one of those stories that explore that a bit. I enjoyed it.
Props to the author. I listen to a lot of HFY and many lose my attention and I don't finish them. This one had me beginning to end. Have a great day everyone 👍
I liked the story! But the voice of the priestess was a bit grating, high pitched like mice squeaking. That aside, it was nicely read, will look forward to more :)
Yep. But that’s multi-va to fix it and that’s a lot of work. Almost guaranteed it will need shoving through audacity to level the voices. But, once they know the settings needed for the channels team members it gets easy :)
4:09 I found this line hilarious... Especially since you could _hear_ the exasperation from Kayoon when he asked about the fire, and I feel that Kayoon was gesturing at the burning city while looking at Vock with a raised eyebrow when he says that.
Outstanding! When the comments are this good, you got to listen. Ya, the "mini-mouse" voice is a little abrasive, but very funny as well...back to the rest of the story. Thanks!
Avoided the naming tropes so common in these stories. Two minutes in, and there are no character names starting with Z or X or Q "Zavzix turned to Xzuzerx and..." Thank you!
Good job on this one. I like the comm effects and different voices It would be super cool to have other Voice Actors on this channel do different characters As a professional artist, I feel conflicted on this one, but I absolutely love the ai art for the scenes. I wish there were more of them. I can't wait for the next image while listening. The story is great and I want to keep going. Would love more episodes!
ya this one was good.. keep it up.. good premise .. story progressed nicely can open up a can of worms now in any direction seems good cant wait to hear more
This is the only channel I regularly give a like to just because they have actual people reading the stories. But please get some feedback on the voices. Generally, any voice you have to strain to use for an extended period should be a no go, especially when it's for a casual text read like this instead of recording lines for animation.
While I think the "humans are gods of war" topic is overdone, I really like this story. It has depth, meaning, and what I particularly like, there is a story inside the story. Even just the inner story by itself is nice, combined it's nothing less than amazing work. 👏
A+! Excellent story, excellent narration. But the human made a mistake. Varoon stated when he saw the Neko that her form was pleasing, but that it didn't mean anything to him. The Supremes had made his species sterile. Giving him freedom does nothing for him. Unless the humans can reverse the sterility, his species is extinct.

part 2 plss
Books aren't as expensive as a day 1 collector edition AAA game... at least you'd get all three parts of the trilogy worth 1500 pages :D
Agreed.
Wait a dam minute, "NEKOvans", under "observation" by humans, bioengineered, with pointed furry ears and tails. The humans made a fricking cat girl planet
Pretty sure their previous masters made them that way. They said that humans tried to fix them, but couldn't do much
@@ЯАга-я4лmore like didnt want to do much
Hard to find more compelling evidence of humanity having a galactic empire.
It'd be a 30 second story lol
Let's both pay this narrator more, and never ask him to voice women again.

ummm... if you watched the previous videos he narrated, his female voice were better.
Yeah, the female voice was...interesting. Maybe instead of the cartoon mouse voice just speaking with a softer and lighter tone would be better, rather than a cartoon character.
Just not that woman.
“Because we like fire.”
Nuff said, I like this guy.
Eons of technological development, ascending to be seen as “Gods of War”, purging entire galaxies, and still falling back on “Fuck Around and Find Out”
Love it
I mean, it works?
"They left 10,000 years ago.
I never said they didn't come back."
oh cmon, the recording straight up told them
''Fuck around and find out''
and they still attacked?
nah, thats on them
not to mention them pulling that on humans similar to 40K DAOT humans.
We’ll even let them see our biggest guns if it means they’ll stand down like do we fight amongst ourselves a lot yes but give us a common enemy and watch out easily we can change from sworn enemies to great allies
Don't touch our catgirls!
@@doubledouble4g379 this made me laugh unreasonably loudly.
@@doubledouble4g379 Protect the kittens!
I so want a part 2 where we see the Taknai getting their asses kicked by humanity.
i think this is already the part 2. what we need is a part 3.
If I base part 3 on the current power of humans in this story, there would be no story. Just carnage. Maybe there would be a story with regards to the freed individuals, but not of the supremes.
@@Pyanky I want a Part 2 to see Vadoon's choice. We already know what's going to happen to the Supremes...

The war (weeb) gods don't take kindly to their nekomimis being attacked. I kind of wish the humans had shown up in Gundams.
@@NoticemeSinPinah the. Suoeing up i gundams would be just vile 💀
We made catgirls and you hurt them?!?!
FAFO Mode engaged!
@@NoticemeSinPiIt doesn't say they DIDN'T show up in Gundams. It just said ships of "unknown design." 🤷
Especially if done from the P.o.V. of all the other current races for... at least half if not a majority of it.
That outside perspective can be the most interesting when done well.
Zun-Rah : We'll make you our playthings human.
Humans : Alright, *LET'S PLAY.*
Humans:"as you wish."
Humans: "Wear a cup."
Humans: I like it when my playthings are EXTRA durable!
"I'm not locked here with you. YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!!!"

@@morganrowell1373I think I just heard this yesterday but I can't recall what from.
Planet of genetically engineered cat girls im fking ded
Good story, but the female alien voice was almost painful. Please don’t use that again …
Lol
Totally agree. Just do a soft voice if you struggle with female voices. This was too cringe. Otherwise the rest is amazing.
Just read it normally
Terry Pratchett once described humanity as the intersection where falling angel meets the rising ape, and I think this is one of those stories that explore that a bit. I enjoyed it.
Just realized the name nekovan has the name/word neko.
Meaning we finally got our cat girls in the far future.
But we can't enjoy that fact cause we're busy arm-wrestling Cthulhu and Stone-Cold-Stunning rampant grey goo in foreign galaxies.
@@jimmietherustle3622 and probably already won and are in the rehabilitation and rebuilding phase for them
@@rexuilao5629yeah it’s break time now shush I have ten on the human
This might be the best story in terms of ambience, music, voice acting, and narrative! Might be my favorite for a while.
i agree it's a very good story
Props to the author. I listen to a lot of HFY and many lose my attention and I don't finish them. This one had me beginning to end.
Have a great day everyone 👍
Not just to the end. Wanting more
IMO, this is the *best* HFY channel. Real people reading stories that are written by real people.
I liked the story! But the voice of the priestess was a bit grating, high pitched like mice squeaking. That aside, it was nicely read, will look forward to more :)
Yep. But that’s multi-va to fix it and that’s a lot of work. Almost guaranteed it will need shoving through audacity to level the voices. But, once they know the settings needed for the channels team members it gets easy :)
Maybe that's just what they sound like?
@@Don-ds3dy it’s a fair point.
This story is in desperate need of a continuation. I loved every second of it.
4:09 I found this line hilarious... Especially since you could _hear_ the exasperation from Kayoon when he asked about the fire, and I feel that Kayoon was gesturing at the burning city while looking at Vock with a raised eyebrow when he says that.
As a certain wise and powerful mechanical xeno once said, "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."
And many many humans have taken that as their own personal saying for why we do what we do
“‘Fuck Around and Find Out’ the famous phrase” 😂😂😂
It’s not a phrase, but a warning
This one hit pretty fricking hard. Loved how it was told, also catgirls are cool too XD
Outstanding! When the comments are this good, you got to listen. Ya, the "mini-mouse" voice is a little abrasive, but very funny as well...back to the rest of the story. Thanks!
I can't imagine the Zun Rah surviving that last act of spiteful pettiness, like the Overseer noted pride and arrogance has been the downfall of many.
Why am I not surprised that the Gods of Life looked at humanities history and decided to genetically engineer catgirls?
Avoided the naming tropes so common in these stories. Two minutes in, and there are no character names starting with Z or X or Q
"Zavzix turned to Xzuzerx and..."
Thank you!
Zaphod Beeblebrox is responsible for that, I'm afraid..
But hey, still better than Vogon poetry!
I had high hopes from the title of this video and it did not disappoint! Really hope there is a part 2 of this down the road some were
That was darker than I expected. Very good.
"Because we like fire."
Same, bro, same.
God I love the idea of humanity being an intergalactical boogie man.
AMBIANCE ! I see the channel too has ascended.
18:03 *spits out suppe* that voice was hilarious
Thanks!
An excellent story that needs a continuation and is narrated perfectly. Background sounds, perfect.
gonna be honest, the genetically engineered cat girls throw me for a loop.
Thanks! plz Part 2 =D
thanks for an excellent story and narration
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great Starbound story with no glitches and superb voicing. 👍👍👍🖖
Agreed!
Good job on this one. I like the comm effects and different voices
It would be super cool to have other Voice Actors on this channel do different characters
As a professional artist, I feel conflicted on this one, but I absolutely love the ai art for the scenes. I wish there were more of them. I can't wait for the next image while listening.
The story is great and I want to keep going. Would love more episodes!
Nice one, this is by far the most enjoyable one
THANK YOU for adjusting the ad placement!!!
Second! Sigh. Always a bridesmaid. Never a bride.
Lol
Hilarious reappropriation!
You're still beautiful.
Was a part 2 ever created? the like goal was reached
I look forward to a sequel in which Kayoon takes some time to think.
Excellent stuff! Again. Thanks.
Can't wait to pet a Nekovian.... Wonder if they have calicos.
This might be one of the dopest stories ive listened to on RUclips. Great job
This female voice is killing me but the dedication is another level 😂
Very well done! Outstanding narration, excellent story, and solid production...no errors...nicely done!
Best story yet, not repetitive and unpredictable. Excellent.
7:44 try to procreate and learn something new.
This man has my voice acting range when GMing; I love it, keep up the good work.
outstanding
great story, well read, appropriate art, also
I am pleased that I found this channel
defintely a thumbs up
This may be the best one yet. We'll see what's next, thank you and your presentation of the story.
Yooo sound effects!
Edit : amazing. :another edit: I’m impressed I didn’t know they made there own story’s
Ok, I absolutely want a part 2. There is so much that could be continued here.
Well done. Another top-notch story, well-written and well-narrated.
Wheee! Another story! Thanks Starbound.
Alright.... Let's go save the alien catgirls...
Another good one. Thanks y’all 🫡🙏
Excellent job everyone! Great story! Excellent effects!
Another fantastic story! 😄👍 I'm so happy I stumbled across your channel! 💖
Nice story, thank you. I am so glad to have found you and get a real human storyteller. Please keep it up.
Like this story very much, I hope for a continuation.
I agree with many others here! We want more of this one, and there's already plenty to work from here! 😊
So glad that nothing had to much bristle before this became a very good story. Thanks.
ya this one was good.. keep it up.. good premise .. story progressed nicely can open up a can of worms now in any direction seems good cant wait to hear more
This was a really good one! make more!!!

I got a cat food ad on this video 😂
Thumbs up on this one, folks! Everyone, now! I want the sequel to this!
Wow, gonna be honest it's your best story so far
Good story. Hopefully, we will get more of it the choices and all 😊
he dropped another banger yet again
I NEED A PART 2 AND 3
Can't wait for part 2
This is actually a good story.
Would love a part 2 .❤❤❤❤

One of the best storyline I've heard❤ 💯
Bravo, amazing story.
This one needs a part 2
Best story I have heard for weeks.
Well done well done….. I really enjoyed listening. Helped me relax
Dude looks like David Bowie.
The comments say it's a good listen. The commenters are ALWAYS right, yall never steer me wrong... Many, many thanks!
This was excellent! The narrator was very good as was the story. Together, a very good production, no mistakes...nicely done!
A+! Excellent story, excellent narration. But the human made a mistake. Varoon stated when he saw the Neko that her form was pleasing, but that it didn't mean anything to him. The Supremes had made his species sterile. Giving him freedom does nothing for him. Unless the humans can reverse the sterility, his species is extinct.
The voice-acting is excellent
She should have said you know nothing John snow winter is coming 😊
Okay don’t comment often but I really enjoyed this story I wanna know more about what happens to kayoon
bros female voice kills me awesome story ,keep up the great work🤣😂
Also I like how this narrator does female alien voices. They sound accurate, which helps keep me engaged in the story.
Very good!
My Dude, you are a voice-master!
I can be pretty critical sometimes but this story is damn good. I really like this one and I hope there is more to it soon.
May Kayoon seek salvation in freedom and will
Holy crap. This is really good
Yea, I could enjoy a part 2.
The NEKOvian girl is so cute! 😍
