The fact this is basically a story of "you take what you can get out of life by working towards it" from the MC's perspective really sticks to me as an actual person, where life is sh*t right now and you gotta do what you can to get by.
Anyone know what the story is? Is the author actually back from military service? What chapters are we missing, and does anyone remember where it left off/what happened last?
EDIT: It all came back like a ton of bricks when I read the newly released chapter.
