The art style was way too busy (albeit impressive) in the first issue, sometimes making it hard to even follow what was happening. However, I didn't have that problem in the rest of the volume. The story was enjoyable.

Did not finish book.
There's a kernel of something that I like in here, but it's surrounded by a bunch of stuff that's getting on my nerves, and I'm not about to read this long-ass book just for that little kernel.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
 Never feels good to DNF a giveaway, but I'm not about to put myself in a reading slump. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There was interesting stuff going on in the setting, but there was way too much technobabble, I didn't care about the plot or the characters, and none of the humor was landing for me.
