Generations ago, humanity colonized Astrilles, a distant frozen mineral planet. And generations ago, contact with Earth was lost, leaving the settlers stranded, left alone to fend off bug-like aliens called Voraces.
In this world, humans adapted to their unique constraints by specializing men as fighters, buffed up to exterminate those bugs, and women as carers tending to the needs of fighters. Thanks to advances in biology, children are born and raised genderless until coming of age, when they go through the assignment ceremony during which leaders decide their future gender.
The story follows the journey of XX01, a feisty teenager dedicated to becoming a fighter yet being forced into a carer's life. XX01's struggle will start with the harsh transition from being XX squadron's leader to their carer while Voraces grow stronger and bolder.
The story heavily revolves around sexual scenes and descriptions, non-consensual sex, emotional struggles and changes, and the general topics of gender roles, consent, love, friendship, duty, and rebellion. All characters are above 18.
Expect about 5 chapters per week. It's my first story of this scale, so please be nice. Feedback is highly appreciated and is the best way to support my work.

i highly recommend this story :
1. A great and partially new idea viewed from a very innovative perspective.
2. The characters are believable and relatable. We all used to be naive in our own stupid ways and the hope that were crushed with hardships that broke us.
3. Till this part it is a story with smut so I like this type of story where it is not mindless mix and matching or a collector game.
4. The emotions are greatly portrayed. Not just feminine ones but masculine ones too. Shows the author has a good understanding of the underlying reasoning of males and females decision making in a patriarchal society.
5.i believe that this story can be continued to at least 150 chapters and even more so I will be reading any new chapters that et posted so this is a plus for me when I understand the story will not be abounded mid way for hiatus or other B.S.
6. There are some cliche things in this story, though it was more the story being close to the cliche than author using cliches to create its story and it is more like having been in the same category or experiencing same situations.
7. The only problem I have till now as a man has been not showing the good side of men and just focusing on the wrong behavior of the majority of the asp-hats. Yes I understand the necessity but in every society the normal people are not needlessly cruel even the most cruel organization or government that make cruel actions are just obeyed surface and hidden behind the curtain normal people revert to their natural instincts of good and bad.

After a strong start the second arc really stumbles and the story loses its compelling edge. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that the author will continue the story so they will never have the opportunity to regain their footing and deliver a compelling end to the story
The orginal 5 star review for up to chapter 19 is in the spoiler for posterity.
Few and far between are the stories on this site that read like an actual book. Even some of the best stories on here read like long windy plodding things but not this story. It genuinely reads like the start of many a classic sci fi novel its giving tastes of Enders Game, Starship Troopers (the book), The Forever War, and Skyward.
A delightful treat and one that I hope continues to deliver such fine storytelling
