So much nothing on repeat.

The first few hours are exciting. The worldbuiling seemed to have promise.

By hour 10, we’re no further.
There are time jumps that last forever, that were already explained, multiple times – but the mc got to go to sleep so we spend 20 min redescribing it in his dream.

This story could have been 1/2 the length – and probably would have been great.

So much bad exposition mixed in the entire listen, then re-exposition, then re-examinging what was stated in the exposition. Then forgetting – and doing it all again from another angle.
