I thought it was cringe af. Like a wild fanfic you’d find on a blog or forum. Yet I paid money for it in a book.
Tbf, Shadow Warrior in general has always struck me like that. Ridiculously over the top to the point of being cringe, but it’s so clearly intentional it circles back to being funny. To me at least.
Halo’s Slipspace has always been my favorite. It’s another dimension where instead of being able to move in four directions, things can move in eleven. This results in travel being faster there than in normal space.
The fun part is that the UNSC and the main antagonists- the Covenant- use the exact same method of FTL travel. The Covenant are just dramatically better at it, to the point of UNSC ships that attempt to run away from the Covenant via slipspace sometimes having the Covenant fleet they were fleeing already there and waiting on them.
