the world building felt so underdeveloped to me that it took away from my enjoyment of the book almost entirely. it deals with topics and ideas that could have been profound but were handled on a surface level.

But there were so many things I didn’t enjoy, most importantly the protagonist. We are obviously supposed to symphasize with him, which is just not possible.
