Status Updates From In the Arms of an Android (...

Android MMC (yay) describing his friends during some pg 1 inner monologue, proceeds to mention how his demeanor is more rigid than his friends, and starts thinking about what he looks like.

So…immediate eye roll from me. God forbid we get to know the character naturally through the book. Who inner monologues that they’re more rigid than their friends? Subtly is a lost art in the self-pub world, I swear…

oh now all of a sudden she's his MATE?? uhm okay

oh geez not the banana

'My hands find the hard planes of his body and I nearly scale him in an effort to keep him near me.'

all right you monkey

rich billionaire kidnapping women and strapping them into stasis pods as "offerings" is weird and creepy but also absolutely not surprised

this book seems rather dumb but it's all right I guess

'And though I should hold no bias, I find that I am drawn toward complexity. A complexity that microbial life inherently lacks.'

umm sir you're a dumb android already because microbiotics are incredibly complex??? also doesn't really read like an android persona yet so I'm already disappointed

time to try a new author

and I'm a big fan of properly-developed android characters so let's see how this one meets my expectations and standards on that end
