Phew, this sucked! I don't know why I pushed myself to finish it after realizing I didn't like it. I do find it useful to understand that great artists like Link are capable of making really bad art

Slow build (sometimes a REALLY slow build), but I imagine the intent there is for the reader to experience the dismay of the MCs, and learn along side them. Half star off ONLY because it felt so rambling at points. Fuckin lovely queer rep tbh
