It wasn’t just the narration, it was the story and pacing. Very slow. MC is a slave with an AI in his head that can read his thoughts. This is never addressed. He simply capitulates and does what he is told. No conflict there (but plenty of whining). He meets aliens but they are all the same in how they act. Everyone is very respectful except the “bad guys” who we are told are bad but rarely shown. It wouldn’t matter anyway because MC is enslaved and has to fight them regardless. There doesn’t seem to be much redeeming about this book. Glad it was free.
