Over on reddit there’s an entire genre of this sort of fiction in /r/hfy

The main contributor continued writing it on a full novel scale at https://deathworlders.com/ .

However…Imho after about 40 chapters, it really loses it’s way (bar a couple of cool minor plots). And the author goes a bit right wing rhetoric/muscleporn-y.

God help me, I fought all the way through that 8,000 page monstrosity. I never want to read homoerotic fiction as long as I live, got quite enough of sweaty, muscly men and aliens rubbing all over each other.

Attack announced, humans arrive and set up a beach head, daar flattens a few cities in the background.

Then spends more time talking about how he is burdened and manly as a result of doing it than the actual doing.

The Hell storyline after that gave me hope, as I trudged through chapters of “cor, look at Adam’s muscular muscles muscling”, but once that finished, and we started getting storylines like “Why can’t we have guns in Folctha? Murica!”, I kinda gave up.

Read the first 2 chapters, and so far seems pretty neat.
