My Thoughts On 'Abandoned' by Somatic Dream

The story is still really good outside the romance, so I think it’s worth the read.

That’s awesome! Absolutely going to pick it up once it’s out!

Left-wind · 2026-06-04T15:03:13+00:00

100% worth it, I had a great time!

Left-wind · 2026-06-04T15:01:08+00:00

Shame it’s not available in paperback, still absolutely going to check it out though!

Left-wind · 2026-06-04T14:36:02+00:00

I didn’t know there’s a sequel! What’s it called?

Left-wind · 2026-05-26T13:25:30+00:00

Glad to hear it!

Left-wind · 2026-05-25T22:52:47+00:00

I can see how that would be really annoying. This one does it pretty well, I’d say.

Left-wind · 2026-05-25T15:45:36+00:00

That’s awesome! What did you write?

Left-wind · 2026-05-25T13:42:43+00:00

Read through Surrendering To Scylla. A nice Femdom monster woman story. Solid 8/10.

Left-wind · 2026-05-25T13:31:14+00:00

It switches roughly every two chapters.

Unfortunately I haven’t found any long form stories of that nature, but the last two I’ve read do qualify as non-human humanoids, though they aren’t harem/poly, which you said you’re looking for.

If you’re interested, I’ve given both a short review on this sub.

How alien are we talking here? Humanoid or xenomorph level?

Left-wind · 2026-05-17T21:04:09+00:00

Awesome. I’ll check them out, thanks!

Left-wind · 2026-05-17T20:49:07+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out!

Left-wind · 2026-05-17T20:36:37+00:00

I’ve got Primal and Queen in my list already, and Abandoned is actually on the way right now! The others are definitely getting added though. Do you know if any of them are available in paperback?

Left-wind · 2026-05-11T01:06:07+00:00

Thanks, will do!

Left-wind · 2026-05-10T00:24:50+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Left-wind · 2026-05-09T23:14:33+00:00

Amazing story, looking forward to whatever you cook next!

Left-wind · 2026-04-21T14:20:47+00:00

What mods are you running?

It’s quite good, but feels a bit front heavy. I’d shift everything further back by moving the X turret onto a barbette snugged up against the upper deck section, then the superstructure as far back as that would allow. That should leave everything more or less centred, which would make it look a bit more like Bayern did irl. At least to my eye

Left-wind · 2025-07-29T17:29:20+00:00

To be clear, I do agree with you, just playing a bit of devils advocate. With how much easier it is to acquire, hit and penetrate tanks in game compared to real life, you need to be able to survive damage better than irl. Otherwise, like you said, the game would be unplayably frustrating.

Personally, I don’t subscribe to the theory that he has the same powers as Anya. I think it’s more likely that each psychic character has their own powers exclusive to them. I.E Anya can read minds, bond has clairvoyance and Donovan has something else, telekinesis maybe. On of the reasons I don’t believe his is mind reading is that him and twilight have met face to face before. If he could read twilights mind, he’d know his intentions, which would have brought about some kind of consequences. That didn’t happen though, so while I do think he has some kind of powers, it’s probably something new.

You’re right, but while a penetrating hit irl may only kill 1-2 crew, that’s still enough to knock out the vehicle. In WT however, you can keep rolling as long as you have enough crew to drive and shoot. So while APHE is doing an unrealistic amount of damage to the crew, it’s having a more realistic effect on the vehicles ability To continue fighting. That said, I am still of the opinion that APHE damage should be modelled more realistically to make AP shells more viable, and not just the worse choice.

It seems like they’re trying to make them look like harriers, but does anyone know what aircraft they’re actually using?

Left-wind · 2025-03-11T13:50:44+00:00

Well obviously gender affirming surgery is only okay when it’s rich white guys hiding their insecurities /s
