It's actually an entertaining and enjoyable read. Thank you for the comment.

However, I can understand that not knowing David enough could make the story less appealing for some readers, but maybe you don't know David because David doesn't know himself? Due to the amnesia? Just a thought but I haven't read it so I could be wrong.
What I actually mean is that his backstory is insufficient. But that's my subjective opinion. Other readers may still find him totally relatable. That's why I didn't deduct a star. Thank you very much for the comment :)

True, the Garbageman is not the typical hero and his origin may come as a shock to readers. Thank you for the comment.

I look forward to seeing how the mystery of the garbage man unfolds. It will be nice to see the kindness that contrasts the actions and intention of the gang.
In that case, this book may interest you. I hope you get a chance to read it.

This book seems to have an interesting plot. I like science fiction books. It’s great how fast paced and fun this book is. It’s too bad that the dialogue is so unnatural. Still seems like a fun read.

Yes, some dialogues are unnaturally cheerful for the scene. Still, it's a great read. Thank you for the comment.
