Καλησπέρα- I am in process of 'writing up' 2 assignemnts in Bio-Medicine and any distraction, will help out, in me, delivering, huh, at a time above my deadline, but I am again always open for a decent reading experience
From a quick glance I can tell, your writing, is much more straightforward compared to let's say William Gibson's insane style

But I am getting ahead of myself here: As a friendly courtesy, I am extending a friend request, and will be 'devouring your book' soon enough ~Thanks for the proposal to enter, this group here by the way (can't see who sent it, atm)

Brynn H | 1 comments I only got about 50 pages i to this book and am not interested in the rest. So far the writing feels like it was written by two robots given prompt cards on how to sound and act human in every scene.

The male protagonists are all obsessed with repeating that they are so handsome but then pretending to be humble and scared an attractive woman wouldn’t like the back.

The dance scene makes no sense with the instant beginnings of a relationship lacking any emotion.

The science behind the genetics for the skin regeneration doesn’t make any sense (this is coming from someone with a degree in microbiology, epidemiology, and anthropology).

The way the men talk about women is degrading “Something in her being told him that he had in front of him a malleable woman, which is exactly what he liked.” - page 41

Finally, the last straw for me is the lack of social awareness in describing a woman as “mulatto” just to meet diversity needs. This word is outdated and considered offensive in many places.

I wanted to enjoy this as I love sci-fi and genetics and space adventure but frankly this is not hollywood worthy or good enough for me to finish. I would take this back to the drawing board and make a new draft.

Hello Brynn

Thank you for your review, we accept your criticism with two exceptions:
The book was not written with the help of artificial intelligence and the book does not promote offensive things like skin, ethnicity, gender, etc.

However, I recommend you read to the end for a full review.

I wish you all the best!!!
