Someone originally posted that the main character should be an anthro along with the rest of the crew members but by them being a human of different background it brings an element of excitement instead of the same old storyline with similar characters.
I would have to disagree with the criticism of making the protagonist an anthro. By him being human and the crew all being anthro, it allows diversity within the story and allows the character to grow as he experiences a new life on the ship and builds relationships with the crew members. Overall I loved the story.
