dark reflective slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

finally finished.

i think i would’ve probably enjoyed this much more if i wasn’t in a massive reading slump, since stuff like this is right up my alley, but i unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy this as much as i probably could’ve.

i can’t think of any of these short stories that particularly stood out to me, apart perhaps from the very first one, even tho conceptually a lot of them were very interesting. i think the execution just didn’t fully land for me, but again, i cannot judge how objective that judgement is given my current state.

“Pre-Simulation Consultation XF007867” is the standout story here, though I enjoyed “June Bugs” for personal reasons.
