I may not be the biggest fan of the mc x huge furry canine trope and all the horniness that comes with it, specially early on in the story, but everything else is pretty incredible to me thus far, the setting is very compelling, particularly the cosmic horror element which makes future expeditions into the blackzones something truly scary and exciting, and the characters are very likable as well, to the point I can't quite tell if I'm more invested in the relationship between MC and Loken, or his relationship with Byte, which is a type of relationship I didn't even know I wanted to read, but it's super charming to say the least.
Other than that, I can't quite remember the last time I played through such a lengthy first release in a FVN, and with it being so engaging all the way through, so I'm very surprised and happy to have such a good story to read from now on.
