Good story. Like the plot and it's a fun read. Technically, there are a few places that an editor could help out, but there's no problem with either the length or the subplots. Certainly, there aren't that many sub plots going on. I'm sure people will be unhappy with the opening which stated why there was a second Civil war. Too bad. Unfortunately, it's a perfectly plausable excuse that gets more plausable all the time. (9/10)

Hello Sir, my Master told me to review your story. He thinks it is a very enjoyable one. But with your last part he isn't content, you are losing the tension, he says. So he would be glad to read more and find you back on the way of humiliation and pain. slave bea (8/10)

- I thank you for the comment. The tension and pain will be brought back up. One thing that I am trying for in this story is a rollercoaster of emotion.

A very enjoyable story. I'm looking forward to reading more of it. I don't think you should worry about the length. Some of the longest stories in here are among the best. (9/10)

I liked it. It has all the ingredients to make a great story that is easy to read. The sub plots only added to the whole scenario and the potential for the story to move in different directions. Some of the reviewers on this site take themselves far too seriously. Enjoy your writing, one piece of advice, don't make the story too long, the novelty wears off after too many chapters.. (8/10)

There are far too many potential sub-plots that merely take up some space, but ultimately go nowhere and are abandoned. Under the circumstances, these are pointless and merely bog the story down. This story (which does not seem to be over YET) could have been told more effectively in far fewer words. It needs an editor. (5/10)

- The story is not over yet. I started writing this as a short story and it grew. I am up to chapter 15. There is more already written, just wanted to get a review on the first part before I added the next part. In later chapters, some of the sub-plots do come into play. Thank you for your review.
