for Here We Go Again5/16 c19 ThatScifiGuy
About what you noted in the author notes at the top of the chapter, perhaps it would be something about the entirety of NATO and NATO-aligned/adjacent nations getting isekai-ed somewhere?
Though for this one, the setting is truly free range
...or (though this one is me being a bit more insistant) it could be about some fictional industrial automation powerhouse, AI integrated administration and justice system(which even if its not less biased than humans, things will at least move at a timely pace without having to skimp on integrity because the AIs can just simply do it faster that a human) perhaps with with normalized transhumanism and atheism in its culture, but somewhat small territorial holdings and population (but made up for by its civian technological advantage)compared to its former friends and rivals; and this kind of nation is now stranded in a theistic and cutural landscape that is entrenched like the weaster front of ww1, and a max tech level that is post ww1 or something like that (with exception of some hidden or absasnt superpower if you want).
Based on how you have written this story, I think I can trust that regardless of what you DO end up writing, it would be fun 9/10 times.
Just ideas though.

Writing this review feels like shouting for someone inside a empty house. 15Zero already packed up and left 2 year's before me writing this review, I'm really just doing this for my own amusement and a gratitude that this story exists.
That being said. It's a 6/10, but a really good 6/10.
In the first chapter it kinda talks about how the original Gate was a twisted view and gloryfication of the Japanese Defense Force and It's military prowess combined with Japanese nationalism propaganda, and yeah it is that no doubt. But this fic also suffers from that...Kinda? Like when Roger says "The CIA always keeps Its promises" repeatedly and like...idk about that one chief; but also it has in mind that the CIA occupies foreign territory in secrecy to further american interest in very questionable ways.
"Americans are killing machines" and "Our culture based on war" but it also "YEAH kill this backwater savages" and "AMERICA RAHHH" .This identity crisis got me questioning what kind of story 15Zero wanted to tell even more the moment Itami said something along the lines of "Sir aren't we doing a little bit of colonization too?" and this line of questioning is never brought up again.
But the soul and heart of this story isn't the war, it sn't the Gate and it's not the magical bullshit against big boom sticks, it's the bantering happening in the down times. Each dialog between the HWGA marines carries just this wave of nostalgia and longing for something and it hits a spot man. It's super genuine about the feelings of the author and his experiences as a tanker and a marine. Which makes me sad because after entering the Gate there is less and less downtime for the good stuff, and even the Gate stuff kinda clashes with the HWGA people. There is the active effort for to be space between the fantasy stuff and the tank crew, even when GOD itself comes down to Kincaid and says "Yo you are gonna shake shit up fam" the only outside reaction is Rory going "hmm yes" and that's it.
By the last 3 chapters it feels like 15Zero lost track on what story he was trying to tell and he just kinda got lost in the sauce with characters that weren't nearly as interesting as the OG crew.
Is this story perfect? Hell no. Could be better? A ton. Is it fun? yes and also a easy read and I'm glad that it exists as a memoir to this guy's time in the marine corps. I would love to see this guy's original work if he still writes to this day . Se yeah thanks for this story you fucking weeb :)

Damn. What a fic.
Even if this is the end, I'm glad I got the chance to read it all the way up to this point.

Ignore that last comment since he did appear to have told them. It's a shame that the last update was a while ago.

I assumed Delilah wanted to Kill Tyuule but you've made it seem otherwise? How would they know she didn't betray them?

Always missed GATE. This fills the void. Read the whole damn story (for the second time, I believe I read through it when it was being regularly updated as well).
Thank you for your service and I hope you're doing well. Hoping for an update someday and the completion of the story. Seems like it's still got more avenues to go down. Even after the war, where will it go from there?
