Oh, no no no. Don't be disheartened! Your work is certainly as original as it gets! It's really just a couple of themes that are similar! ... I feel bad now :(
I'm not sure you understand how much of a compliment it is that your work can evoke memories of Asimov. Truly a master of his craft, that one. One of the greatest geniuses in science fiction.
... True. 💚 Another comment on this post thinks my story is a bit cliché tho. Some people just don't have a good taste in literature 😂
