challenging sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

A retelling only in the perspective of teller, not actually a restructuring of mythos. The level of speech fluctuates constantly between high-speech and common, sometimes by the same character mid-sentence.
