Couldn't stand the protagonist! Asuka was so rude, held racial prejudices against literally anyone that wasn't Japanese and held unprovoked, secret animosity towards the other girls—all of which was not addressed by the end of the book, so there was no character growth. Feminism left my body when I read this because why is she hating on the other girls on this mission who have only been nice to her?
 
And don't even get me started on the poor, inconsistent writing style. We need to stop making characters unironically say "hashtag" aloud—I don't know anyone who says "hashtag" in their daily conversations, outside of joking about social media influencers. I wish they explored the plot point about the mission more and why they're trying to get everyone pregnant in space, albeit it was a bit off-putting that the girls were all quite young. We could've had a Handmaid's Tale/Black Mirror dystopian moment. This story had so much potential for a reflective, interesting story about humanity/space, but it was all thrown away for an underwhelming murder mystery plot that was very anti-climactic.
