Sobrang, eww yung depiction ng mga "savages" sa isang jungle-ish area. V v disgusted while skimming past those parts. I continued reading though kasi the writing was overall fun pa rin, pacing ayos, and ang solid ng dynamic between the crew.
Godd the misogyny rankles din tho,,, pero there's enough trope subversion for me to feel that more on sa depiction sila ng characters than actual prejudice from the author but!! it's a very fine line kasi rn we only have a token woman sa crew :/, and they can only treat her as a person kasi she's not feminine ://.
Writing that down, it sounds really problematic kaya it's a testament to Chris' writing na despite all that, I was still able to immerse and enjoy the story + be attached to the characters.
