This one I'm usually hearing quite a bit of bad things about, since it does lean into some cringe, but it makes sense being the main character that there is, I still have to say I really like this one :)
Halfway through the book, it turns out the main character is suddenly so intensely attractive to literally every woman he sees, and is an awesome pickup artist, out of nowhere. DNF, really disappointing
There's a strong sense of wish-fulfillment in this tale of a ladykiller spacer, but all in fun. The subplot of the troubled new crewmember does provide a welcome contrast, and it seemed like the discussions about shopping and trade were not as protracted in this installment. I found it a pleasant light entertainment with a couple of surprises along the way.
