I'm at 40,159 now, and I'm definitely going with the parallels to the Refugee Crisis. You can't get much more blatant than having an MC say "We were forced out of our homeland because of power-lustful invaders" and having Earth on the verge of being overrun should they accept her people as refugees, with multiple politicians being quite outspoken about only letting ones who agree to denounce their own culture in or simply nuking them out of the sky. Now I've gotten to the point where I spend like ten pages discussing cultural differences and their affects on two societies completely alien to each other.

I'm literally the only person who would ever read this, aren't I?
