Well this is not the first time their sentient weapons go rouge and fail a mission, I am surprised it doesn't happens more often tho

It is so far the main problem their business model has, other than the planned obsolescence of the entire project, which is already expensive and highly susceptible to being replaced with pretty much any other form of warfare, chemical, micro biological, digital, etc

In fact the HA soldiers look like the perfect example of a niche job that would be replaced by cheap mass produced automated drones, and to top it all off they can think for themselves which makes them both less competitive in a weapon market, and harder to openly commercialize

So even with the ideal scenario of perfectly obedient soldiers, cheaper, faster, and greater development, the HA doesn't has much of a future

It reminds me a lot of Resident Evil, and how the virus to create super soldiers eventually just ended becoming a second fiddle subproduct, compared to the more successful biological weapon of viruses that just zombifies people

Oh, Kee ;_;

Thank you so much for the translation! The speed and quality you're doing are amazing! And the artworks themselves are so praise-worthy and realistic! (Cry because this work among some of the others make me realised: Even though they are gorgeous and effective in term of comic story-telling, I'm just captivated by the story itself that I often overlook the artwork...)

May I leave a suggestion? Could you please have a one-page warning at the beginning of a chapter with potential disturbing or sensitive images/contents for the readers? (Personally, I was quite taken aback with the abortion scene in the hut, even if I knew full-well it's seinen and mature. It was simply gut-wrenching.)

I love how interwoven the story-telling is! The author clearly gives contrast to the ideologies (ie. colonial and local). I love how every chapter makes me think. I hope other readers too. These things are complicated. However, I hope this chapter alone won't send the messages of colonial salvation or underdeveloped savages. It is complex. Still interferences due to greed is wrong. And human greed itself, per observation, has sadly no bounds or limits.
