Did this oh so genius narrator figure out alien language and an understanding of the concept of time in 5min…
You mean that I’ve gone through 38% of this book for one of the main element of alien first contact to be done in 5min???? Fucking hell

It’s not a fun read right now.
The main character’s narration is failing at making care about him.
The info dump and flashbacks are destroying the pacing and tension that we could have had in space.
It’s not working idk. I do want to meet Rocky the alien and that’s why I’m sticking to it right now or I’d consider DNF at this point because I don’t think the pacing is going to get better

The only thing I like about it right now is the idea of a space algae.

I liked the start when he had amnesia. The first few flashbacks to bring direct knowledge of who he was were fine.
I’m at 20% and I just don’t like this pacing that keeps moving from present space and flashbacks from earth. We barely get into space vibes and then boom we’re on earth again and it’s kills the mood. I can’t get into it or care about any of it. Also a scientist asking what H2O means… come on
