@jackwilliambell I'll probably read more. At least I don't get annoyed when I have to tear my attention away from it. (Parental hazard)

Isekai is a decent comparison point. The writing is practiced enough from the author's previous (brace yourself) 94 self-published sci-fi novels that it's not poorly done, it's just... naive?

One of these days, when I have more time, I'll reread The Lost Fleet. I'd love to read another series like that. Was kind of hoping this would be that. It isn't.

“When females start pulling their own weight instead of charming men into doing stuff for them, perhaps I will.”

She growled. “Hurtful but true. I am pulling my own weight?”
