Jasper is a Gary Stu and I don’t like him—his “vulnerabilities” felt phoney. The conflict the story rests on—“Will Milo be a better person”—was… not robust. I’m shocked we got 375 pages. Milo isn’t even a villain to be redeemed per se! Jasper’s lack of trust felt over-the-top. Every time Milo felt “lesser than” Jasper and Co., I felt annoyed, not full of compassion/pathos. Gamer setting wasn’t my game either.
