Incoherent, starring a complete asshole, and lacking resolution. Not the greatest compliments for a book but the only things I can think of for this one. The art is great, which is a plus, but the dialogue is at times cringey, the background characters are woefully underdeveloped, much like their conflicts. It feels like a navel-gazing story except it's not even really doing that.

If this was just another 'monster hunter hunts monsters' book, it would have been mediocre and forgettable, which isn't great. But at least it wouldn't have been a hot mess.
