This is stupid

The general personally doesnt have anything to do with them trying to eliminate her, hes just following orders. Her antagonizing him, and talking about his marriage just comes off as petty, not a trait what a god would have

Reducing carbon emitions to zero in ten years is impossible

they already shot rifle ammunition at these robots, why would they do the exact same and except a different outcome? Why didnt they set a trap where she would spawn? This is really stupid, humans are not that dumb

The first thought that comes to my mind, if a being shows up that claims to be „God“, is to kill it.

The first call out was a somewhat middling attempt at showing her omnicience, she knows exactly where He is, Who he is, and what was probably his closest kept secret. Would have been better if she had gone for something more meaningful like a childhood memory or something.

also since when can gods not be petty? have you never read anything about the greek/roman mythos? those fuckers can be petty as hell.
I mean Imagine beating a woman over the head because she made a better tapestry than you or cursing a woman because she got raped in one of your temples (oddly enough both minerva)

"He's just following order."
IDK dude i feel like this reasoning has been getting shot down for like 80 years now.

Does this god have no uncertainty, no constraints and no time pressure?
I.E the christian or muslim god, it knows everything at all times, has no restrictions and lies outside and above of the fabric of the universe—>space and time are meaningless

Cool first chapter. Very mysterious but also entertaining. I hope there's no humanizing of God in following chapters. Will continue reading for sure!

It seems this God is somewhere between a Greek God and the Christian God. She has a sister so there are others God just like there is multiple Gods in Greek Mythology. But on the other she seems to be omniscient or at least much more knowledge than any Greek God I know of and she has feats that no Greek God has shown.

I like the premise and story but I'm on the edge when it come to the writing, and characters.

The humans thinking they could apprehend someone who can casually warp space-time to teleport is incredibly stupid (what, did they think handcuffs would make her forget?), and at the same time the god thinking they could break political gridlock and unify all human effort by showing up in one room and making threats about years in the future shows she fundamentally has no idea how to motivate humans. The second incident would straight up never be released to the public.

This is so bad! It's like a terrible self-insert of what the author would do if they had godly powers. She just pops up to spew a bunch of nonsense about a weakened society due to income inequality, war, poverty, and climate change!? Ignoring the fact that society is far better and stronger than it was in the past; war and poverty have been going on forever and far worst in the past. Income inequality and climate change are very recent modern topics, and the fact that they are even in our discourse as issues is proof we live in far better times. This "god" might as well also whine about how bad the evening traffic is or other first world problems.

And instead of explaining whatever pending doom is coming our way if income inequality, or climate change isn't solved, she just commands we do some arbitrary thing such as achieve "net zero carbon emissions", or else! This is also modern political terminology, which is so lame for a god to be using. I was half expecting her to also say that we must "Free Palestine"...
Laughably lame!

the only difference between her and hitler and stalin is that she holds no regard for any people or a vision of humanity’s future, and that she holds different ideals. it’s strange. i should be rooting for her right? she’s fighting against humanity’s biggest errors and problems. yet i find myself rooting for the actual humans (who are written to be so mind numbingly stupid as to turn me off from this series completely) who don’t hide behind some mystical clankers who only act because someone else told then to. this is not the way to humanity’s future. i can only hope this is a leto ii situation where humanity breaks free and scatters across the universe, forever free from the influence of whatever beings may try to subjugate mankind.
