The basic idea is so amazing, but something about the writing style made me feel so disconnected to the storyline and the characters that I felt myself only half-reading and sometimes skipping whole paragraphs. I hate doing it, but when I feel bored and disconnected, that’s what my brain does automatically. The characters are on a scale from mildly annoying (Mira) to absolutely awful (Nami), I didn’t really like any of them. Especially Nami is so downright useless and incredibly stupid that I truly don’t know why the others even cared about her.
