    Earth lie in ruin. All large civilization turned to dust, ruined structures, and skeletons.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

Hi! I'm Knight Hardy here on a mission to ensure that all works on YWS has at least two reviews. You will probably never see this but....Imma do this anyway.

Anyway let's get right to it,

Earth lie in ruin. All large civilization turned to dust, ruined structures, and skeletons. The 3rd generation of men and women since the third Great war, and still no large empire reined supreme. Factions, clans, and tribes. Scattered over the scarred surface of the recovering world. The great war of 2706 wiped out nearly 40% of humanity with mostly conventional fire arms in use and mechanized infantry and air units. The second great war in 2998 was almost all nuclear. And the final longest one, the great war of 4245. 2000 years later, it was fought with Anti-matter bombs, Dark matter cannons, and Omega class weaponry. It lasted 16 years. 89.245% of humanity and 45.511% of the race known as the Zenthons were obliterated. Many species of aliens and humanoids have found their way to Earth, or evolved from the fallout of the Gamma radiation bombs dropped by the Zethons in the 15th year of the Third Great war.


Hmm...well this is an interestingly structured introduction here...this reads like it came straight out some sort of history textbook from the future here...with the style you've used where its just very matter and fact and seems like you're simply stating what occurred history without any real effect being shown by the one that's actually telling us all of this.

This does seem like a rather excessive array of weapons though, I will say that....some of these seem like they wouldn't stop at wiping out percentages of the human population but would rather destroy basically earth as we knew it. As a bit of a nerd, I feel like I need to clarify some things here. First of all, nuclear weapons would have wiped out all humans on Earth quite successfully, and the few that survived would have barely any access to anything, the scale of such a war would simply destroy far too many chunks of humanity for there to be much left or for said war to last all that long, but if you make some assumptions, that's survivable...the issue comes with antimatter, that is a very destructive that would effective destroy any remaining humans and that honestly should be the end of basically the Earth itself...and then moving on "omega class" seems very random and generic as a type of weapon and dark matter is not really something that as far as I know can be weaponized. So yeah nerding out over.

Overall, while there are quite a few random leaps made their in terms of actual science, taking this as science fiction, you've got enough cool science terms to make it all sound quite legitimate and very destructive here. All in all this seems like the start of something potentially quite epic here. :D

Aaaaand that's it for this one.

As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.

Stay Safe
