Yes, I can feel you. There were really many characters (even lagging character development) that sometimes it feels disoriented.Letora wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019, 10:20 It seemed like the further along I read into E-M-P Honeymoon, the more characters were introduced. I thought the main characters would be Tom and Kelly, but they seemed to fade into being secondary characters as the story progressed. In fact, I'm not really sure who the main character was because there were too many. I couldn't really attach myself to any one person because there wasn't enough information on any of them.

How far have you gotten in the story? It will branch out to a lot more characters. I wish it had stayed on Tom, Kelly and Su-Jin.Aditi Sapate wrote: ↑26 Jan 2020, 02:21 So far, I think the focus is on Tom, Kelly and Su-Jin. Maybe there are more characters introduced later, but I do still feel connected to the present characters.

In my opinion, Mercer made a point to introduce everyone too formally and never made a point to develop the characters who matter to the story. Thank you for bringing up this point.
