Looking for feedback on my comedy space opera

Would anyone be willing to give my new 45,000 word comedy space adventure a read? I'm looking for feedback and reviews and figured it'd fit in perfectly here.

A classic British absurdist space romp for anyone who's worn out their copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide - with a dash of Red Dwarf and a healthy dose of The Office (in space).

An incompetent crew, captained by the paranoid ego of Arbuckle, is set on a course to find a mythical planet that no one thinks exists (and soon won't). Along for the ride are Lily, the actual brains of the operation, who has more history with this part of the galaxy than she's letting on, and Steve, a super-anxious cat-pig-humanoid creature who becomes a biological weapon whenever his anxiety wins out (which, naturally, makes him even more anxious).

Together, this crew battles space pirates, space rats, alcoholism, a corporate spy literally named [REDACTED], and mostly Arbuckle's ego. Along the way, they evolve into a found family of misfits, high-class French fashionistas, and Arbuckle himself somehow becomes the favoured wife of a space harem. All while fleeing their employer and being watched over by the greatest threat to them all:

Glen from HR.

A comedy built to spring back on itself. Read it once for the laugh, and again for everything you missed.

Thanks all. I hope you enjoy the read. I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback.
