OK I really enjoyed this book. The whole thing was so fun and I really liked how it occasionally poked fun of the genre and didn't take itself too seriously for the most part. I loved the fmc so much. There's lots of times where authors focus more on the mmcs of their stories and leave their fmc more of a blank slate but this is definitely not the case. I absolutely adored the fmc and how passionate she was about her work and how she didn't lose focus in it just because she fell in love. The fact that her work was relevant up to the very end and wasn't just a side thing about her was an aspect I really liked about this book.
Speaking of love, I really enjoyed the development of the romance. I was initially worried that the insta-lust would result in insta-love but I really liked that it wasn't the case and how the book even made sure to emphasize the fact. Both mmcs were really charming in their own ways and I really liked both of them. Just wish that the book was a bit longer so we could've gotten more time between them and Dory, would have loved for more background on them, especially more about Sol since a lot of stuff was more about Lok.Another thing I wish got more focus would be the SoLak thing. I felt like it kinda came out of nowhere and wish we'd gotten more regarding that?? Like I had to reread their one scene just to make sure I was reading things correctly since it was just so out of nowhere. Not to say I didn't like them together though, I really did which is why I wish there was more of a focus on it. I liked how the concept of pregnancy was dealt with and how both mmcs were realistic about things and didn't get needlessly upset about her bc.
I absolutely loved the setting and the reasoning for how everything was the way it was.The copyright infringement scene just absolutely cracked me up. . Dory was really the perfect character to introduce the world to us and I really liked seeing things from her perspective.
I felt like the plot with thebig bad and Intern, while still enjoyable, just took too much time away from our trio. I would've loved to have more slice of life type scenes with their relationship developing more in between all the adventuring or after they dealt with Orsid.
I'm not sure how to feel about King Orsid and Blair though.
