IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists 
, Zionists 
(they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) 
in Bosporus, and the monarchs 
of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union 
is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain 
)that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human 
, Shimmi 
(Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran 
(a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist 
leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home 
, but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. 
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists 
All serve the Union 
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism 
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

I lile the range you have available to play your detective in this, I figure being annoying must be pretty darn funny. My detective is turning out even dorkier this time though tbh.
it is arguably the easiest way to gain friend points with Farah, you two team up on Ava a lot
the best run in the opinion of a filthy allosexual is to be a Morgan kisser, Farah friender and Ava puncher, Nat is always pleasant to be around so she's there with her books to be tall
I was really not into most of the scenes that happen immediately post shotgun-wedding-choice. Like the Nat and Morgan ones suuuuuuck.
i remember that Morgan is horny like usual, but what happens with Nat?....uuuh wait she comes right next to you and you almost kiss or some such?
The thing is the text forces you to try to kiss her near enough, lmao. That was so offputting, my detective would literally never.
found the code spoilers for the Nat(e) shotgun wedding in book 1

The Themperor option matches the Straight Male one!!! Woooooow that's REALLY fucking bad. So straight man is proactive, women and gay guys are always submissive, and an enby just follows the straight man... oh wow, when I saw the code was just storing "enby, likes women" as "straight" I snorted, but maybe it goes deeper. Makes me wonder.
sometimes the enby option is different but a lot of the time it does just default to either male or female, the enby option was definitely just dropped in at the last second
Fwiw I doubt there's a need to write something bespoke every single time but the overlapping factors for this scene in particular, yeesh. Fwiw also I think this is the only time I went "WAOW THAT AINT ME" about the narration so, this probably got better in later books?
I sure hope so, I only played the first book as a themperor
Smh smh
here's some code from book two, it should be spoiler free

#Chuckle and say, "I hope you haven't been waiting long." *if (gender = "male") I let out a chuckle, running a hand over the back of my neck. "I hope you haven't been waiting long." *goto *REMOVED* *else I let out a chuckle, running a hand over my arm. "I hope you haven't been waiting long."and

But then $!{he} stops, holding them a little away instead and opening ${his} lips to huff ${his} hot breath onto my fingers.

also there's atleast one point if you come in with a bold flirt while usually being the bottomiest bottom to ever bottom and Farah and Morgan are both like "
Well why doesnt she just do THAT all the TIME??"
there's a lot to love with this silly little romance chooce your adventure -slop
I love that, I'm a huge fan. The big replayable, you could do funny stuff.
I think I got one of these in my original run because I seem to remember somebody going "waow..." I love all the variables in this, it fucks.
like a proud mom
she finally learned how to flirt and not just blush 
Uh
I mostly just flit between "uwu smol bean" and "weirdly emotionally open dork" I think. I flirt weird in life...
Is your detective also a dork?
good question ... i definitely played shy on first playthrough and i remember choosing dorky options, or wishing there were dorky options and being stuck with some very normal ass ones, but the stats make me look positively NT lol (end of book 3, personal stats)
but, i think tbh i did do a bit of roleplaying too
Lol these are my Book Three stats for my first run:
And here are my current Book One stats, lol
I think I like my new detective better. Look at that Optimist Heart.
oof that's good Optimist Heart i like i like
book one key decisions
my character cut her hair around when i cut mine irl from long to medium lol
book two key decisions
i noticed this too when i was peeking at the code, the mystery stats are fascinating, sometimes i wish the game would say "this is why this happened"
whoa, how did I miss this? i was always nice to A, maybe?
not literally....i don't think
mostly you can just have constant bickering with her and start making fun of her with Farah
oh ok i see
that's definitely a way to hurt your wrist though
i saw the reply in my inbox and was wondering which of my immediate two interpretations was correct lol - uh it was a third thing! because he's so stacked, i got you
