This is much more plot driven than I’d realized, and also I didn’t know it was mecha based, either. I enjoyed the feminine rage aspect of the mc, and was definitely frustrated with her about how women were raised and treated. I knew it was going to throw some kind of twist at the end, and I was still surprised by the actual reveal. 
I wanted more to the romantic relationship, though! I was very excited by a poly ya relationship, and I hope we see more of that in the sequel.
