Thank you for reading the story and for your honest opinion. I’ll keep it in mind for future occasions. Anyway, I wanted to include those small details to give some life to the setting, so it wouldn’t feel ‘lifeless’.

I get that. I've recently come across a book that changed my perspective on adding "meaningless details" to a novel. Even though this author's extra exposition didn't really contribute to a wider plot or reveal a whole lot of backstory (although it definitely did at times) the vivid details kind of made the whole story feel like a lucid dream somehow- which really fit with the otherworldly science themes.
