The main character’s (lack of) reactions that’s happening all around him. He’s was “ohh that’s interesting, another me” baffled me quite a lot. Somehow and old ex-partner (for no reason) joins for emotional hook in case the player needes. Ofc comms need an otakon guy to brief the nerdy stuff. Before the game player has been briefed that they were stranded without connection and on the second day you can basically phone in earth whenever. The newer clones you make at some point later on immediately gets working like Warcraft 3 grunts saying “yes milord” and starting doing something.
The concept is great. Cloning yourself. Time line mechanic and incremental building is also well thought. I loved the circular weird ship too. But the story was dumbified to the hell. Or rushed.
I was thinking the similar thing the other day. I love science fiction and fantasy. But I’d be happy not have any of those if it would had stop these privileged nerds to come up with their “unique” ideas.
Hate to say this but I’d rather live in a bland gray world if it’s going to bring equality and justice.
