I've seen all these things done before so this just feels mid imho. It's the same uncomplicated cliches.
Not even ML with his high carat face makes it good for me. He's pretty much the only thing the author is trying to put some kind of twist on but that ended up just being a mix of stereotypes too.
There's nothing to chew on, I already vaguely know how and where this is gonna end up at. Nothing wrong with that but it's overall just ok. Not good, but ok.
