This has potential. Not necessarily what I was looking for at the moment, but was captivating enough. Had a „Atlantis“ feeling for me, you know, with putting a crew together and trying to find some missing population. It was very plot heavy, no spice, and at times too plot heavy for me with unnecessary details that made the story even more difficult to understand. FMC and MMC were both annoying in the beginning, but they redeemed themselves. The ending was rather questionable 🤨
