And I just realized this story was a giant Splatoon 3 reference all along. First off, congratulations on finishing this story. I know you struggled a lot when writing this one, so it's good to see you manage to cross the finish line.
Now it's review time, and well, it sucks... OK, it doesn't suck suck, but I do feel it is vastly inferior to Food Truck and some of your other works. Just comparing the story to the original synopsis, it felt like this was meant to be more of Food truck requiem, but it quickly became more of a rescue mission story. Not that it wasn't still enjoyable, but it really did show that the story was struggling to find it's footing more often than not.
Finally there's Rom. To be honest, I'm really mixed on him. He started off as a selfish robot seeking to abuse his owner just to prolong his life, but ended up getting a redemption arc... and being completely overshadowed henceforth by MVP Jethro, especially in these last few chapters due to just how OP Jethro is and Eddy giving a crash course on what happens when you push a hikikomori over the edge.
But with the negatives out of the way, let's look at the positives. You managed to finish the story, and while it may not be your best work, the sequel potential, or rather, crossover potential, is really there, as with Jethro and the gang in space, I could easily see them meeting up with the Food truck gang some time in the future. Speaking of which, Jethro is the MVP. That man carried this story in his survival backpack he got from Preppersonly.com. Seriously, Jethro was easily the best part about this story along with Eddie finally snapping and saving the day. Be proud that you completed this story on time, and of course, good luck in the contest.
