Book Hero thinking about your next read

The San Magnolia Republic has long been under attack by unmanned weapons from the neighboring Empire. It's never been possible to have no casualties. Young men and women drawn from the Republic's supposedly nonexistent 86th district are organized into the "86 unit" and then ordered to pilot the "unmanned weapons" before heading to battle.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighbouring Giadian Empire's army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties—or at least, that's what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the "unmanned" weapons into battle...

86--EIGHTY-SIX, Vol. 1 (light novel) by Roman Lempert, Shirabii Shirabii, Asato Asato, explores this harrowing tale, challenging the notion of a casualty-free conflict and delving into the lives of those the world chooses to forget.
