Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
The story is very confused, and that makes it hard to be sure what’s really going on. For a trivial example, the very first line tells us Zhen-Juan is an admiral, but later we’re told she’s a general. It’s not clear how a hack can cause your dead parents to think the raised a different child or why you’d care.
It's loaded with infodump after infodump, which makes it even harder to keep track of the thread of the plot.
