Enjoy!

A FEW RULES & REMINDERS:
Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.
Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread below! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!

This is probably a stupid question, but are Sarah and Rei twins? I remember reading something in book two that made me think that they were twins. And if that is the case, was she pushed up a grade or was Rei held back because surgeries kept him out of school?

2025-05-14 18:08:01 +0000 UTCI love reading, but imagine getting to see reiden evolve throughout a show, or movie... 😅

2025-05-05 03:49:02 +0000 UTCI think this book needs a movie

2025-05-05 03:45:22 +0000 UTCI am enjoying the world building that is occurring, especially the "blurbs" at the beginning of chapters. I enjoy that they are used to hint at the further story and may be related to the following chapter (usually at least indirectly and often directly) In addition I enjoy the thought of a chapter focused on Catcher and an indication of their continued growth both as a character and as a CAD user in this universe. Thank you for the view into your process the story so far

2025-04-29 19:11:49 +0000 UTCWill there be a tournament in this book 3? I get the story is moving, and it keeps getting better; a tournament would be great.

2025-04-29 10:26:32 +0000 UTCSo I’m probably on my fourth read through of the whole entire book free story. I’m wondering a few things. I wonder if the shards are seeds of sentence or which contain sentient codes that sheedo is in planting to maybe help the other cads become more sentient. and on that note, given the fact that there is data sharing between the mind and CADDS throughout seven systems, how sentient are they CAD really? And, could they be hiding that fact from the rest of the world? secondarily, I wonder if there is ever going to be a huge reveal with all of our main characters in one room and Raiden discussing the shard network. That would be an interesting meeting, wouldn’t it? do you know how much the colonel would flip out on that especially? Lol. Number three, I wonder what aria‘s mom‘s reaction is going to be when she finds out that Raiden and his family are quite a bit more wealthy than she? I would love to be a fly on the wall for that one.

2025-04-28 23:53:12 +0000 UTCI am too excited to have this full book out. I am relistening to Book 2 and Luke Daniels does such a great job. Catcher getting his field name finally???? Love that for my guy.

2025-04-28 14:51:57 +0000 UTCHey, just wanted to say i love the story i just wish you could post a chapter per week cause i keep forgetting previous chapters by the time you upload a new one
Ha Sa
2025-04-28 10:04:06 +0000 UTCCatcher stupid love struck after getting his ass handed to him, for what I’m sure will be running his mouth, is a scene I’m really hoping for 😆
Maria Klein
2025-04-28 07:41:18 +0000 UTCFinally caught up! Gotta say it’s coming along great and frankly I’m DYING to see art of Viv’s new device!
Maria Klein
2025-04-28 07:38:51 +0000 UTCOr is it pronounced like Kaiju-it?
Jordan Clark
2025-04-27 23:16:58 +0000 UTCalso is Bryce an anime watcher ? is kaijuate a play on Kaiju.8???
Jordan Clark
2025-04-27 22:00:58 +0000 UTCwell reis family is Japanese and kaiju is Japanese so I'm assuming kaijuate is his sister... pls tell me she's in the next chapter I need that rei meeting his sister scene
Jordan Clark
2025-04-27 21:57:04 +0000 UTCBryce~ curious to know how far into the storyline are you. Words/% wise, if you please 🙏
TDL
2025-04-27 17:52:59 +0000 UTCI think my speech is synthesizer mangled the first part of chapter 36. Lol it will be interesting to hear Luke read that chapter to find out what it’s supposed to really sound like. :-) I like catcher, cause Luke makes him sound like a surfer dude. He’s one of my favorite characters. :-) From what I can make out of that first part of the chapter, is catcher supposed to have seen Sarah and fallen for her? That’s kind of what it sounds like. Lol.

2025-04-27 17:35:18 +0000 UTCOh I sure hope so!!!
Devin Jaros
2025-04-27 15:11:43 +0000 UTCI think I’m more excited about the quote from Catcher at the beginning of the sneak peak than I am about the new notification lol. Love these chapter collections and fully caught up now. Awesome story, thank you!

2025-04-26 19:01:35 +0000 UTCYoooo we got a new classmate name!!! I love seeing them pop up in the background like collecting Pokémon
Graeme Anderson
2025-04-26 02:38:46 +0000 UTCRegarding Catcher’s field name - I wonder if Dent and the MIND and Wainwright will find a way to make it Greyskull… Bryce is too sneaky and thorough an author for that Easter egg to be just an Easter egg :o)

2025-04-25 23:31:51 +0000 UTCVery nice 👌
Laura Jordan
2025-04-25 22:37:52 +0000 UTC... Bruh. There's a thing that's going to happen later in this book that you were going to read and have your mind blown 🤣🤣🤣 I should ban you for spoilers. Or being psychic. Not sure which.

2025-04-25 21:26:32 +0000 UTCBryce, By all that is holy, please have them figure out true capability of Temporal Step soon. I keep waiting for Rei to let his mind wander at just the wrong time and have him end up back in his secondary school CAD fully called in the middle of a class of kids. I wait to read about it in every new chapter and it keeps not being there. Really man, if they don't figure it out soon I may spontaneously combust. Your Devoted Fan WhiteFox

2025-04-25 21:24:09 +0000 UTCKaijuate? He's going to date Rei's sister, isn't he?
Matt O'Connor
2025-04-25 21:20:33 +0000 UTCCatcher on a date is a chapter I've wanted to see ever since Rei and Aria's mall trip. Now I'm hoping it will happen sometime in the future. Thanks for the sneaky peek Bryce, looking forward to the impending chapter.

2025-04-25 18:32:30 +0000 UTCSecond notification eh…? Did it come behind an evolution or rank up notice? Though almost more excited by that epigraph…
gratch42
2025-04-25 18:25:50 +0000 UTCI like them, serves the worldbuilding and gives insight to the characters but I understand it if you don't. However, the comment about replacing Chancery is very far fetched. We know that Chancery stays with the team at least until school ends, that she gets a sick-ass arena-name with "Dreadlight" and possibly stays with them till the end, since they keep the name Firesong. Why would you even think that Sarah's supposed to replace Chancery?
TheCatDemon
2025-04-25 17:15:46 +0000 UTCThe blurbs at the beginning of the chapters really destroy the narrative tension. There were some in book 2 from Lennon and Dice that clearly take place after the supposed coming apocalypse. Some talking about Rei and Aria being happily married. Now the one from Chapter 36 announces that Catcher is going to marry Rei's tsundere sister and she is a possible replacement for Chancery on the team after they leave school? In book 1 they served a useful purpose of fleshing out the backstory and depth of the world. But from book 2 the way they've been used doesn't really work. There's foreshadowing and then there's these.

2025-04-25 17:05:25 +0000 UTCLove the expanded sneak peek, and that artwork too!
Iron Akela
2025-04-25 16:25:15 +0000 UTCCould Catcher end up being Rei's future brother in law?!
QuixoticPirateCptn
2025-04-25 16:21:15 +0000 UTCI laugh anytime I see the title for the story so far So I'm guessing a user unique for Catcher then? And not too long after his last. Very interested to see what it is. I saw that Catcher doesn't have a SCT name yet but a part of me would laugh if it did just wind up as Catcher. Maybe not too cool though. Also not sure if that quote is possibly in reference to someone in the current class or if that happens to be Sarah's SCT title.

2025-04-25 16:15:33 +0000 UTCI’m very excited to see where this chapter is going
