The themes were interesting, the lack of censorship had the effect I believe was intended.
The whole earthlings and isolation was well done. The writing was good. The structure was good.
This is horror and personally it was too much for me.

I don’t think any of the characters behaved in ways that felt like the author jumped the shark because I believed that these characters had the capabilities of acting irrationally.
Natsuki’s childhood in particular felt well-written and really hooked me and I specifically enjoyed the way disassociation was framed and how child minds rationalize things in ways that aren’t actually rational.
While some of the themes were disturbing, it’s never very explicit in its descriptions even though you know exactly what’s happening. It doesn’t read as shock horror and while parts were gross, it didn’t put me off from the book.

The main character is kind of running in circles, no matter how much time passes. Sure, might have been a deliberate choice and trauma does stifle your development but the main character's struggling just felt redundant at some point. Also what I generally fail to relate to is that endless enduring of
To be honest, I'm not quite sure whether I struggled more with the idea of the book itself or with the execution? It just didn't feel new and revelatory to me, just not really a deeper message there beneath that one layer of critizising society. Nicely written nevertheless and it had good pacing.

chapters one and two contain instances of child abuse. chapter two contains very graphic instances of pedophelia and fairly graphic instances of incest between two minors as well as suicidal ideation, a suicide attempt, and talks of suicide. chapter four contains a fairly graphic murder. chapter six contains very graphic violence, murder, gore, and cannibalism. very heavy themes of mental illness and psychosis throughout.pulleamurmeli's review against another edition
