My Thoughts on I Built Infrastructure on a Deserted Planet

"I Built Infrastructure on a Deserted Planet" is quite the experience. Clocking in at a mere 15 parts, this completed story promises a whirlwind of sci-fi adventure, omegaverse dynamics, and political intrigue. After diving in, I can definitely say it delivers on that promise, albeit with a few caveats.

First Impressions

My initial impression was one of slight bewilderment. The pacing is incredibly fast, throwing you headfirst into a complex world with layers upon layers of lore and political maneuvering. It felt like trying to assemble a spaceship while it was already in flight. I was intrigued, but also slightly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information being thrown my way.

What Works Well

Despite the breakneck speed, the core plot is undeniably interesting. The author has crafted a futuristic setting ripe with potential, and the central romance between the stoic omega and dedicated alpha is subtly compelling. While the dialogue might be sparse, I appreciated how the characters' affection for each other was conveyed through their actions and dedication. There's a certain charm in how their care unfolds amidst the interstellar chaos. I also found the many plot twists genuinely surprising, and I appreciated how everything ultimately came together in the end, even if it took a bit of mental gymnastics to keep up.

Areas of Concern

The story's greatest strength is also arguably its biggest weakness: its brevity. While I enjoyed the rapid-fire plot twists, I couldn't help but feel that the story could have benefited from being fleshed out further. The world-building, while intriguing, felt rushed, and I often found myself wishing for more in-depth exploration of the characters and their motivations. The romance, while sweet, could also have been more developed with more dialogue and interaction. The quick pace made it difficult to fully invest in the emotional journey of the characters. It's a fun, fast-paced ride, but it leaves you wanting more substance.

Final Verdict

"I Built Infrastructure on a Deserted Planet" is a unique and engaging short story that packs a surprising punch. If you're looking for a quick sci-fi romance with plenty of twists and turns, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a wild ride and don't expect a leisurely stroll through the cosmos. I'd recommend it for readers who enjoy fast-paced plots and are willing to embrace a slightly chaotic reading experience. While it may not be a perfect story, it's certainly a memorable one.
