Well, I felt much better after getting it all off my chest. (I would literally hit a point in the novel, go OMG, and type up a screed. It was terrible. I've never felt the urge to do that before.)

The worldbuilding drove me up the wall, because it sounded SO COOL but then it fell apart almost immediately. *fist shake*

Also, thank you for the rec for Wolfe! I like unreliable narrators, too.
