i’m not even kidding, this and dead inside have the exact same problem of being so formulaic where every chapter is the repeat of the previous one with like. a sentence of a difference. extreme horror is great but only when done with an iota of something that isn’t just ~oooo disgusting description that will make the reader gag~. it sure will!! but what’s the point if that’s all there is? WHY did so many influencers recommend this lmao

skimmed this because i had superiority complex and thought i could handle it, turns out not really. can’t give the full zero stars bc the plot is interesting to say the very kindest, and the writing is technically engaging. but good god the content …………
out of everything going on in this garbage pile im really getting stuck on the fact bro was jealous of the cow
