This is not my favorite of the "escape the famine with a magical space/farm" novels, but it's a pretty good one. The translation is not bad, very readable. May contain light spoilers.My biggest complaint is the gu tribe. In my opinion, it killed the momentum, broke the immersion, and also made the setting feel way less grounded in reality.Second biggest complaint is the psychic powers. The space is fine, it's a staple of the genre. The super strength is acceptable, even if it leans a little bit Mary Sue. Even the martial arts proficiency can be excused by her briefly-described backstory. But the psychic powers are simultaneously over-powered and under-utilized. Sometimes she'll end a conflict in an instant with her brain zap, and other times she'll beat people in public even if it's disadvantageous.The other complaint I have is that the magic space armory is almost never brought up or used. I assume it's being saved for the final showdown with the big bad guy? Even so, I think it should have been leveraged at least a few times.
