DNF - Slow pace and stiff
I didn’t finish this novel. I got about 60 pages in and gave up on it. The pace is very slow, which might not be a problem except that the translation to English was done by an automated system, so the flow of the words is a bit stiff and stilted, which makes it hard to be interested in the action and character development.
The author is up front about the quality of the translation, and I was willing to give it a try, but it just didn’t work for me.
Not recommended. I give it 2/5 stars.

great story, but ai translation is average at best
First, I really liked the story and most of the characters. But I did hesitate about the non-human translation though it turned out to be better than I expected. However, it would have benefitted from an English-speaking editor to clean up quirks and errors in the text. There were a few word-usage issues, quite a bit of genderless pronouns that needed to be gendered, and some American cultural references that were not correct. But having said all that, I really enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next in the series.
