2.5 ⭐️ issues of blandness

This was sweet, safe, fast, and while not boring exactly, it was … bland.

Lacked realistic details, more tell than show in places.
Told lack of water, said she was so thirsty she ‘had’ gargled sea water to wet. Never saw, never felt. Always talked fine, never saw the heat.

Not enough visuals on the aliens, I never ‘saw’ them.

All conflict was easily overcome, to the point of not feeling real.

No one ever questioned if food, medicine, plants, would be safe for ‘humans’.
If safe for aliens…

I love a cinnamon roll alpha, he was just cinnamon roll, no alpha, very bland.
Sex scenes, you guessed, bland, repetitive, easy.


I absolutely loved the concept, but it lacked the world building; never saw, felt, or understood Earth, never was immersed or saw alien world.

Lacked enough conflict to move the story,
Lacked the relationship building for me to buy into more than a bland, safe porno, despite the, very ordinary hand ropes (despite that not being my thing, it was boring even for me).

Will check out one one, see if the author just needs a chance to find their way.
