@@HFY-Reddit-01 I don't post my feelings regarding stories. I want you to continue putting up stories. Keep them as real as you can regarding the characters ability to actually accomplish what you want them to.
Lucky I skipped to the end for this one because the ending was really awful and if I had listend thought the whole thing, I would have been so depressed and angry. Luckly I didn't and can now forget the whole thing. This is the second story were the girl dies and it's so f-ing pointless!!! 😡
I’m struggling to understand why some stories insist on so many tired tropes. This anime like obsession with the idea that some unskilled kid is somehow humanity’s only hope. Wouldn’t there be a team of skilled operatives? No, we’re just going to trust a racially xenophobic race with a bias against humans to recruit half our team with! And I know it worked for Harry Potter, but why is it that this race stuffs all of their deepest high-level governments plots into a university library with weak ass encryption where anybody who’s decently intelligent can decrypt? At least we were saved from the trope where Sergeant McAwesome - expert sniper, dancer, ventriloquist, computer hacker extraordinaire single handedly solos the alien hordes with a macguffin pocket knife.
Calling it an "anime like obsession" is spot on. In anime, both the protagonist & all supporting characters are nearly always very young - about 9 to 16 years old. But adults are far more likely to have the training & life experience to "save the world" or whatever & less likely to fall for obvious traps. Human brains continue to develop until early 20's. Psychology tells us that children & teens tend to be bad at seeing the forest for the trees, taking big risks, & not planning ahead. I find it ironic that, at least in the West & according to statistics, anime is watched more by adults than by children. In Japan, it sounds like most anime may be mostly watched by children as that seems to be the target audience for most of them.
Curiosity *piqued* NOT peaked (it's a homonym). Why do all these speech-to-text bots miss that‽ Epitome is pronounced uh·pi'·tuh·mee NOT epitōm. Rendezvous is pronounced ron'·day·voo NOT rondezvooz. This AI needs better grammar and pronunciation programming.
Personally, I would have forgone the whole resistance versus tyrannical empire plotline and instead made this into a sci-fi romance. An alien girl who sees her race as superior to humans, but then becomes fascinated by this human who transferred to her school and defies her preconceived notions about humanity, then slowly begins to fall in love with him the more that she observes and converses with him. After all, what better way for two people to understand each other more than to fall in love? Have the conflict be internal (such as Zira grappling with her prejudice about humans), or between the two of them, especially in the beginning. But after she understands Ethan more, she apologizes to him, and he accepts her apology. Later, have some bullies in their school pick on Ethan, and she stands up for him, finally admitting to herself and the rest of the school that she is in love with him. The bullies try to make her out to be a traitor to their race, but her friends stand up for her, and given her popularity (I envision her as being a popular girl, a queen bee of sorts), the bullies are no match for her. The story ends with Zira and Ethan becoming the star couple of the school.

"her curiosity was peaked". No. "piqued".
This technique is called a Honeypot. She's in on it, and he's a sucker.
Ethan pronounced ee th an. Not ith an
sorry for this mistake . but what about story ?

Would an alien know that?
I was just imagining that Ethan was saying his name correctly while she was saying it the way she could pronounce
Train that AI.
In this universe, does physics behave differently in interstellar space?
hmmm
It does not. Imagination is just imagination. So far there's only one universe, we live in it.

Thanks for the heads up. Saved me from listening. Hate endings like that
Thank you for this. I hate those kind of endings.
Look up Ethan and Epitome pronunciation. Unless the voice is an AI - then never mind.

Valtorian Hills 90210 ! Lol
Tazara, zero, zero. It would be nice if the name wouldn't change
EEEEEEthan
Make up your mind how you are going to pronounce his name
Sorry but i feel like ethan would've stayed with her
yeah
Yeah, that made everything even worse than, then ending itself.

The entire story was "AI"-generated.
maybe next time a little smaller...students uncover planet wide plot, suicide missions? To much fiction for my taste..
