This is more of a question than a review (currently in CH10) why would you return the limiting human aspects when the story was just getting good? In no novel ever has emotions ever led to good plot. Decisions become reckless for lack of a better word. Why not just proceed with the plant based evolution? How did Sumi jump from wanting to enjoy her time to looking for more work(burdens) It's quite frustrating finding a good read then you take us(me) back to the common tropes
