I'm not much of a gun person but I'm guessing that the love interest in this book will be the Glock that Frank's holding. Pitt will run into the Glock on the street downtown without her business attire (the silencer) on and it'll kick off an initially tense but sexually charged professional relationship that will eventually turn into something more.

why are the vampires evil

why do good people who become vampires become evil

why is the state of vampirism all that is needed to justify extrajudicial military action

It seems this book works on the underlying assumption that a person's "categorization" is a meaningful and fully deterministic value. This underlying assumption suggests a deeply dangerous and deranged world-view that I think you do a disservice by failing to actually analyze.

and don't say "its dumb fun, you are not supposed to think about." This is a novel of implicitly coded political messaging and it is a moral failure to not engage with it.

it's dumb fun, you're not supposed to think about it

No you're not dude, you're just saying "the politics of this book are bad" which everyone already agrees with. You need to demonstrate that enjoying a scene of guys mowing down chupacabras with CAWSes will inevitably turn you into a Proud Boy.

Excuse me

I may not know much about guns but I googled what a CAWS is and found out that it's made by H&K

That means it's bad because Correia taught me that H&K is bad

edit: Just so this isn't a sole, catty snip played for yucks, I've taken on board a lot of criticism from this thread regarding writing style.

My biggest issue with this is the complete failure to characterize properly. I'm always forgetting who is who because, in dialogue, everyone is the loving same.

Who's Milo again? I had to go back a few updates to double check if the was the gun guy because I forgot. One of the guys is also a virgin, but I forgot who. And there's a token black guy too? I think? Someone's black, I don't remember who. Then Sam started talking and, oh poo poo I forgot a Sam even existed. Most of the supporting cast are just the same person when it comes to dialogue, they just exist and nothing really makes them special.

Other than that, it's hard to gently caress up the protagonist, the :siren: girl :siren: and her chad boyfriend (because we're reminded of that every page), and the leader with deus ex machina abilities.

Then finally Holly, who should still be the protagonist. Still, if she was just another dude with a vanilla background, I'd get her confused with the rest of the nobody pile. I have dubbed her the girl with an RPG.
