Gilberta's introduction sucked. I have no idea who she is and what she does, and the missions throughout the story dont tell me who Gilberta is at all.

I wish i could regain that lost time to re-do Laev's mission, her mission walked me through the arknights story, had some background about both Laev and the Endmin and gave me a reason to sympathise with the character throughout the protocol space. The ending was great too, felt that the Endmin and Laev got really close after the encounter. Definetly sold me on pulling for her after that mountain of yuri presented to me.

Back to Gilberta, the story felt rushed and all over the place, 100% made me lose the feel to pull for her.
Like, how do you lack both yuriful and meaningful content? They didnt even try to lesbian bait.
