I agree with you here.

I liked the story, but not the way it was worked out... IMHO it could have
been handled much better, especially the writing part.

IMHO Bug City should have been a sourcebook with a small adventure in it,
one aimed either at long-term residents of the CZ, or one that is set just
a few days after the wall went up. As it is now, as a GM you have to
improvise everything, and I for one like to see one or two published
adventures for a game system just so I get some ideas as to what they are
intended to be.
