A story about what survives when you're made to be a weapon: a heart.
Two girls, worlds apart, were each built into something more than human - and made to destroy each other. Neither knows the other exists. Neither knows what they truly are.
In a universe where the powerful treat people as tools, the most dangerous thing either of them can do is refuse.
Who this round is for
Readers drawn to feeling, consequence, and honest reaction.
Character-driven sci-fi
Best for readers who care as much about emotional pressure and inner fracture as they do about scale and spectacle.
Gut-level honesty
No formal beta experience is needed. The most useful response is often the plainest one: where you leaned in, where you doubted, where you felt something.
Early access, real thanks
Accepted readers receive the private beta file and a thank-you in the finished edition.
How beta access works
Private, simple, and built for real readers.
01
Reader requests access
The request form stays tucked away until the reader actively chooses to enter the beta round.
02
Agreement appears inline
The agreement reveals itself only after that choice, keeping the page calm until the moment commitment matters.
03
Unique link is sent
Each email receives a private link with its own unique code, so every beta request remains distinct.
04
Access stays controlled
Each link allows up to 3 downloads, keeping the beta file shareable for the reader but contained for the project.
Beta readers wanted
Looking for readers who love character-driven sci-fi and will tell the honest truth.
I've finished the draft of my science fiction novel - a space-opera story about two young women, built to be weapons, who were never meant to meet.
No experience needed - just your gut reaction. You will get an early look at the full book and a thank-you in the finished edition. If you are in, request beta access below.
Round capacity
49 of 50 beta spots left.
Each new confirmed beta request subtracts one seat. When the count reaches zero, the form switches to the waitlist automatically.
The form, agreement, and survey expectations appear only after the reader takes this step.
Beta reader survey
The exact feedback framework readers will receive after they finish.
Thank you for reading. Honest reaction is far more useful than a kind one. If something bored you, confused you, or made you stop, that is exactly the data I need.
Answer in as much or as little detail as you like. If a question does not apply or you have no strong feeling, skip it.
Section 1First, the gut check
In one or two sentences: what did you think overall? Say it however it comes out. Polished thoughts not required.
Did you finish it? If you did not, where did you stop, and what made you put it down?
Would you read the next book in the series? Why or why not?
Would you recommend it to a friend who likes science fiction? If yes, how would you describe it to them in a sentence?
Section 2Engagement and pacing
Were there any places where you got bored, skimmed, or felt the story dragged? Be as specific as you can.
Were there places you could not stop reading? What were they?
Did the beginning hook you? How many pages or chapters in before you were committed, or before you wanted to quit?
Did the ending feel earned and satisfying, or rushed? Did you get enough time with the final confrontation?
Did the pacing change as the book went on? Did it speed up, slow down, or stay even, and did that work for you?
Section 3Characters
Who was your favorite character, and why?
Was there a character you did not care about, did not believe, or wanted more from?
Did you connect with both main young women equally? Did one feel more real or more important than the other?
Did any character choice ever feel unconvincing or out of nowhere?
Did you care what happened to the main characters? Was there ever a point where you stopped worrying whether they would be okay?
Section 4Clarity and tracking
Was there ever a moment you were confused about what was happening, where you were, or whose head you were in?
Were there too many characters to keep track of, the right amount, or did you lose track of anyone?
Did the world make sense to you - the technology, the rules, the factions, and the organizations? Anything you wished you understood more clearly?
Were any place names, group names, or terms hard to keep straight or easy to mix up?
Did the story ever feel like it was explaining too much to you instead of letting events happen?
Section 5Story and emotion
What do you think the book is really about underneath the plot?
Was there a moment that genuinely got to you emotionally - sad, thrilling, satisfying, or chilling?
Were there any plot points that did not add up, that you did not believe, or that you are still confused about?
Did anything feel like a coincidence that was a little too convenient for the plot?
Were there loose threads you expected to be resolved that were not?
Section 6Voice and readability
How did the writing itself feel to read - easy and smooth, or did you trip over sentences anywhere?
Did the dialogue feel natural? Any exchanges that felt off, stiff, or hard to follow?
Did you notice any typos, repeated words, or errors that pulled you out of the story?
Section 7Anything else
If you could change one thing about the book, what would it be?
What is the single best thing about it - the thing I should absolutely not lose in revision?
Anything else on your mind that these questions did not ask about?
Thank you, genuinely. Honest, specific feedback now saves a reader's disappointment later. - Vladimir
