A review by wolkenfels
First Orbit by Nathan A.Thompson
2.0
A nice story idea and the combination of SF and Cultivation could have been fun.
The beginning is nice. Good pace, good tension.
And then the author draws the "explanation" card. and again and again and again.
pages over pages with too much meta description and without story.
Then we get some action again - but wow - could it be more unlikely? Well - unlikely with a warning ahead. It is a whole planet and there is this single one person you should never met. Let us guess who the MC meets half an hour later?!?
But really the biggest caveat is that the author does not understand "show, don't tell". too often and for too much time.
