I personally enjoyed it a lot, although the later books were better.

The writing style wasn't brilliant, but it was a translation. I don't necessarily expect great literature from sci fi. The ideas were cool though and that's my main thing.

The translation had zero impact on one character who is a sociopathic murderess and faces zero consequences after confessing to the authorities.

It didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the story. Each to their own.

The author probably put that in there to make a point.
