This was a super fun little read that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was way shorter than I had expected but it didn't feel rushed or anything like that; and despite being so short, the characters that were there felt at least somewhat fleshed out. I don't usually read novellas like that and it was a pleasant surprise! My main problem would probably be the fact that I really enjoyed the universe and the characters and would have absolutely loved to read some more about it. I had some trouble actually getting into it, but after the first two chapters it was thoroughly enjoyable.
