Wait for the Reaper Scans translations, even if they take a few days or weeks longer to come out. The story is not SUPER complicated, but you’ll miss a lot of what makes this good if you can’t follow the clan politics and the backstory. There are a lot of garbage machine translations out there, and if you read those, you’ll only appreciate Nano Machine on the sword-fighting level, when it has more layers than that.
Update: That said, definitely definitely stay out of the comments. There is a female antagonist in the story, so unless you want to read a lot of veery excited 14 year old incels fapping to their rape and torture fantasies…. Maybe leave it be.
UPDATE UPDATE: Oh man - dropping this. It got gross. MC went from smirking, douchey, and shitty - but interesting - to overpowered Mary Sue Patrick Bateman.
This murder-bot, tween-school-shooter wish-fulfillment fantasy then attracts shitty, shitty people to the series. The comments section is way past gross. It’s nuke-it-from-orbit gross. The sad angry boys with badly defective brains currently think a fictional rape-victim mother of an infant was ungrateful about being rescued and should therefore be mutilated, sexually tortured, and killed. They are really loving this fun vengeance fantasy group jerk-off session.
The fan base is the most absolute goddawful dregs of the incel community, and I don’t want to like anything these wastes of oxygen like.
