Good read all around. The writing is neat, and I loved how there are two different branches that complement each other. The characters are fun, but I’m kinda conflicted since most of the time they act “cartoonish”, their supposedly grounded lines felt a bit flat. The MC is gullible, which is not inherently bad, I feel like we’re not digging deep enough for this kind of genre. My biggest issue I have is that building the escape rocket is supposed to be a VERY big thing, but Rover’s attempt is just kinda brushed off like another backyard project. Otherwise, it’s been a cozy and warm experience. Well done!
