I read Ra and I loved it, but it's imperfect. It could use an editor.

Antimemetics, being SCP-related, comes with a hefty dollop of magical realism.

Ra, to me, felt like a rocket ride as new ideas, twists, and exponentially escalating stakes get thrown at you. The pacing is very jerky, and I can very much understand if people just nope halfway through.

In particular, the characters... suck (my apologies, Sam)

Characters sucking is a common complaint about hard scifi which I can very much live with and am used to. Thank you!
