Acclaimed by many to explain the origin of Kantai collection.

Really engaging story, it would be really nice if this was how the anime had gone

Base +7, xDalb +7, Phoenix752 +6, MaouMaou +8, the missing link +7, CrossD +15, snipkun +6, malikski +4, Mirarin +7, Anonimuel +9

This is a must read for anyone who play the game, or planning to play the game

Base +5, MaouMaou +8, CrossD +15, snipkun +6, malikski +4, conundrum +9, Lazarusk +6, Mirarin +7

man this is was such a good read could have been a good prequel OVA

Base +6, MaouMaou +8, the missing link +7, snipkun +6, malikski +4, conundrum +9

A surprisingly nice and engaging read, recommended to anybody who likes Kancolle.

Base +6, CrossD +15, snipkun +6, malikski +4

Good plot, very interesting read... But the grammar's pretty bad. It's ironic that most erotic Kancolle doujins have better translations than this.

Base +7, Northwemko +5, arael +6, conundrum +9, malikski +6

Makes me remember the days these were still just sketches. And it's nice to see the artist is continuing this.

Base +5

This explained to me how to play the game more than the wiki could.

I think this is the sequel.

Base +6, HAHAHAHAHA LOL -7, malikski +6

This is what 100 straight pages of exposition looks like. As much as I appreciate the background info, this was exhausting to read.

Base +7, aphoticsonata +6, FireSempaii +5, malikski +6

man this is some evangelion level shit right here
