The reception in terms of the number of readers was smaller than in the case of other AH.com comedy series, due to a somewhat smaller exposure before and during the time of the premiere.+This first episode was very well received by its readers ([[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-12084980|"amazing work, would read again"]], [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-12094171|"a surprisingly very nice read, the final line was genius"]], etc.).
