Well something that doesn't generally happen for me did with this one -- I enjoyed the plot and universe around this more than the romance. Casper isn't the worst MC ever, but sometimes he feels like a void that is missing more to him. I liked Helix and it felt like his growth was tangible while Casper's felt whispy a lot of the time.

The romance was just... weird. There wasn't any time spent getting to know one another, it was all just instantaneous and didn't feel realistic. There was never any tension between them so it just made it feel flimsy to me. Kinda on the fence on whether I wanna see what happens in the next one. None of the characters aside from Helix really grabbed at me.
