Amazing world-building, action packed and engaging plot with very interesting sci-fi elements ! My only complaint is that the romance/relationship dynamic was off, held no interest to me and felt very forceful. Also, the mmc Ezraji's personality/actions gave off real weird creep vibes which was definitely not romantic whatsoever YIKES 😬

Really liked the suspenseful and mysterious premise/backstory. However, the romance and dynamic between mc and love interest was really off, felt really awkward and uncomfortable :(
