Great story

Great story and I look forward to more in this series. My fervent wish is that a human narrator can be found for these

passion and good combat

good and spicy and very detailed mech combat reminded me of an 80s movie RobotJox

Its OK, but...

Is it too much to ask for world building that makes logical sense? In this case, you owe a debt, and if you have a winning record, but you lose one match, the corporation is going to send you to a desert to die. It makes no sense. Clearly you have some skills, and you have a debt to be worked off, why would a corporation take a loss on that. Also, is it necessary that every mech is beaten in the same way? Like we are told that the fights are dangerous and that people die, but not only does no one die in the fight, but every fight ends with the move, a move that none of the other mechs try on our protagonist. Additionally, the scheduling makes no sense, its like the corporation is setting them up for failure time and again, and if there was a monetary reason for it, it COULD make sense, but as it stands, its completely illogical. That said, the two main characters are likable, although their motivations seem lacking. All and all, given that the books are included in my plan, I will probably listen to the rest of them, but ever so often, I just have to pause them and think WTF was the author thinking.

God mix of Sci-fi and Spice

The story was well narrated for AI. The story was cohesive and the increasing sexuality tied in very well. If you like mech and enjoy a good smut you will love this book
