(I say this as someone with blue hair and pronouns) the three pages of explanation about a fictional country's fictional language and fictional pronouns at the beginning reallyyyyyyyy took me out of the story, but if you get through that there's some really solid horror waiting for you. Also very educational on mushrooms.

This was so creepy, especially in the last half, I was so jumpy reading it. It was atmospheric, suspenseful, and grotesque. I also really enjoyed the MC and thought some of the secondary characters were quite quirky and charming
