Narrator Performance was good. He was not monotone, and good at varying his voice to differentiate characters.

Story is ok-ish so far. I’m only 60% the way through but there have been multiple decisions made by the MC that are immersion breaking. They do not seem like decisions that the MC would have actually made based off of his previous actions and seem to be there just to further the plot.

One such example is about 40% through Ang explained below.

————

Picture this, you have previously stated multiple times you just want to get back to earth. You just completed your only mission that is holding you back to get back to earth. The first person you meet while completing this mission just happens to be a human female who behaves like an A-hole the entire time you talk the her and she tries to not pay you.

You get into a fire fight with alien poachers trying to steal you dog, killing 2 with a 3rd escaping while also getting a few very painful stab wounds in the shoulder. Immediately after the female shows up, finds out the escaped poacher is a big bad guy and berates you for letting them go. You run after the poacher with her but he ends up getting in a ship (much bigger than yours) and flys away.

Now this female, whom you have had nothing but negative interactions with so far, demands you let her take command of your ship (which is damaged and CRITICALLY LOW on both fuel and lacks any sort of offensive weapons). This ship is also your ONLY WAY HOME and you have absolutely no way to fix any damage you may incure in this fool hardy chase.

What do you do?
– (1) Give this random person who has no authority over you in any way command of your ship, risking your life further – while already wounded – and only way home in order to chase after an animal poacher that has shown that he has both the means and intent to absolutely shoot you out of the sky?

– (2) Deny her request, TREAT YOUR WOUNDS, and go back to earth.

And of course, the rude and demanding female (who is the first female the MC meets since leaving Earth one day prior) seems to be forced into the romantic subplot position
