This was wiiiiild. Idk if I'm satisfied with the ending or not (〜￣△￣)〜 I feel like with stories like these authors limit human possibility. They give us some credit and then in the end paint us as a species that never learns from its mistakes creating a repetitive cycle.
I would've preferred to see an evolution of the mind, of action and growth for the species as a whole. Us mimicking the aliens and maybe showing how we're not greedy and can be trusted, building our own utopia of sorts to create allies. We're obv on the same path since were creating artificial meat, protecting certain species, and growing towards more peaceful means (I hope). I wish there was more hope, forward thinking, and setting aside our more violent tendencies in exchange for empathy (high eq). Yes there are extremists in every society but this one just felt like that's what they were heading towards once again...
Plus it was pretty quick for society to invade the "the gate" and disease to spread to every alien considering humans only occupied 1% of the earth. And soon after the world went back to a similar state of society as if its been decades to reestablish some form of order. Ppl are living "normally" considering the horror and lies everyone had just endured, bullying, taste score mentality, little care for life...like are there massive programs for therapy?
Did they take over the futuristic society inhabited by the aliens? Did any manage to leave the planet? Also was not expecting the almost hollow earth, more land beyond the walls parallel type deal with "the gate". I have so many questions And feelings of dissatisfaction. （￣へ￣）
