Basically I hated it

The character development is as poor as the ideas that are brought out. The story itself is plain depressing and is a simple loop. It feels unfinished.

The characters themselves are interesting though, and the story could have been.

If you're autistic like me, the main character is very well developed and one of the most relatable characters in all of literature

Sure, she’s well built. But she experiences no development throughout the story. In the end, it’s all meaningless; the one time experience of someone who was already on track.

Also you being autistic has nothing to do with the book so not too sure of what you’re trying to convey.

Except for the part where she confronts her own relationship to the gender norms set upon her by friends, family and colleagues, tries to live up to them, albeit only on the surface, and then returning to her true nature after realizing her own agency.

I didn't hate it. I was intrigued by the premise but felt quite underwhelmed by it. I probably missed a layer of subtext.
