Seriously, seriously, don't read this. It starts off strong, with an intriguing setting and a loveable main character (Phos). The character interactions are fantastic and there is a sense of mystery and melancholy to the whole story. There are various relationships Phos makes that are set up such for future development in different directions. However... (massive spoilers below)
At a certain point within the story, the author decides that Phos needs to suffer and that everyone should turn on them, and makes no effort to make this happening believable. Every single character who Phos has interacted with, befriended, had fun with, fought with, bonded over lost comrades with, tried to help, just completely gives zero fucks about Phos within a matter of days. For no reason. Just to get some dumb plot point across. And none of them ever care again. All the relationships, just poof, gone permanently, because the author had a stupid plotline they wanted. Which itself, was really just an excuse to make Phos suffer to begin with. It completely belies the narrative up to that point, just to make you feel bad. Horrible writing, I sincerely regret reading it.
