The plot was uninteresting, it reads like a mediocre superhero movie, filled with clichés and plot points that either don't develop
Furthermore, he obviously did his best to have a diverse cast of characters, and to write a female MC that is believable, so that's commendable, but it felt awkward anyway.
Oh and Trig not being able to pronounce Hwa-Jung's name wasn't cute and funny. It was racist.
Sooo.. meh.
