He said and I quote, "It's pure genius." And then asked how the heck you were so good

Oh geez, oh boy. how embarrassing

Lol

I'm so happy. I hope he likes the rest (and spreads the word)

Yes That is what I told him. He is super glad that you are doing scifi and in a not -dystopia

Also raved (like everyone else) about how awesome your alien species are

so I told him your sequel in progress was focused on that

YES. I've come to the conclusion that scifi is too stuffy and full of itself. We need down to earth humorous scifi

YES

yessssssss

He also said it has all the good parts of Star Wars, and none of the stupid annoying parts (respect to my Mom who is a Trekkie) of Star Trek

...that could mean too many things to parse.

He doesn't like that Star Trek is humanoid; and I don't like that Star Trek assumes too militaristic humans but he said "well the alliance and humans are still kind of army?" and i said "yeah but mercenaries because they're adaptable and friendly with all others" and he said yes he loves that and that it doesn't have the extreme nature of Star Trek; instead

it's ~trucking~

Jason is ex-army too

so it's not like he hates armies etc. but he agrees with me a lot of sci-fi is dystopic and dark and very DEATH-y and he loves that this is not

ahh okay

......and they're supposed to be explicitly not militaristic, but thanks DS9 onward :|

ikr

I do think Kyle's book is more like Lower Decks (in a good way)
