Imagine a psychotic 'nice' guy with incel behaviour writing an erotica trying to appeal to women. That's it. That's the plot. I've read Tumblr posts better written than this. Very much worded in a middle schoolers way with short to the point sentances trying to fill up a school essay. Unenjoyable plot, writing, characters, and overall vibe. Sometimes it's ok take commissions from weirdos on the internet because at least it's not public.

In this brief splatterpunk novella, we delve into the unsettling world of Charlie, a corpulent, repulsive, and mentally unhinged character plagued by psoriasis. His fixation revolves around his "book bestie," Jessie, and he's willing to go to extreme lengths to win her affection. The premise is undeniably intriguing and distinctive.

Regrettably, this narrative fell short of my expectations. It lacked the level of grotesqueness I anticipated, leaving me questioning my own preferences. Perhaps I'm unconventional for desiring a more repulsive experience. The graphic details, like spit, failed to induce the expected visceral reactions. Call me twisted, but it just didn't hit the mark. I envisioned a tale filled with rough, brutal, and stomach-churning scenes, but reality didn't align.

If you're averse to extreme horror, steer clear of this one. For those who revel in it, be warned—it doesn't reach the anticipated intensity. The story felt abbreviated, and my apathy towards Jessie, aside from her gender, was palpable. Hoping for her to triumph over Charlie was my sole concern. The abduction's brevity—lasting less than 24 hours—resulted in a lack of substantial events. The writing, characterized by its simplicity and choppiness, swiftly dismantled any immersion I had initially experienced. While the concept was entertaining, the execution left much to be desired.

 The best thing about this is the unexpected ending.

My version of the book was full of spelling mistakes, grammar, and punctuation errors. Not only that, the writing in the book is huge with loads of space so a lot of paper was wasted just to make the book have 69 pages.

Some parts I guess you can say are "extreme horror" though I would say it's just random and has one thing that is disgusting.

How to possibly put into words the descriptive horror I just read and it wasnt even the main aspect of the story the horror was all from just the male character and his absolute disgusting delusion of life. I enjoyed the overall story though and loved the end. But my gawd this is not an easy read.
