the best descriptor i can give is that this reads like a k-drama, which seems apt considering how much of this book is an examination of viewer-driven media. it was really entertaining and addicting to read and the twists and turns of the plot were ridiculous and over-the-top in the way only a k-drama would be. i can totally tell why this was a hit in korea.
Minor: Suicide

There are a lot of twists and turns by the end, even if I could see some of them coming. I also appreciated that this is a dystopia with basically no romance. So definitely bonus points for that!
