weird book. i find weird diaries by awful people interesting, I like looking into the minds of other people, but man.. this guy sucks and he hypes himself up too much lol. he hattttteeeess women soooooo much but the last 2/3 of the book are so Meh like whateverrr
also i hate people who say "erm 🤓☝️you just hate this because the main character isn't a good person!" NO!!! i didn't enjoy it because it sets him up as a awful person terrible person who will have karma bite him and then just... ends so boringly.. it's maybe accurate to life but it wasn't enjoyable...
idk I appreciate this work more conceptually than i do in execution 🤷‍♀️

In summary I feel like this book is about a man getting hurt once, choosing to hurt everybody else afterwards and getting off on it even though the reason he got “hurt” the first time was his own fault, and then getting a little taste of his own medicine too. I had a lot of “wtf” moments and a few laughs due to dark humor. Being only 151 pages it’s a super quick read that kept me interested until the end because I wanted to understand the point and know what would happen.

Personally I get drawn into stuff like this because I’m always curious to understand the minds of fucked up people. On the flip side I feel like the more I try to understand troubled characters the more conflicted I feel.

The #1 complaint I see in other reviews is how “horrible the narrator is” I mean yeah… He’s an addict who is also giving sadistic psychopathic narcissist who needs to seek serious help. Why we are giving a book a shitty rating because the MC is shitty is crazy to me because sometimes that’s the literal point of the book. You don’t have to like him and maybe it’s not your thing but the book itself is good. It’s a “diary” of a mad man essentially.

This book is quite literally one of the most difficult books to get through. The actual writing is awful and there really no point to the story. The main character and author I’m assuming is whiny and annoying throughout the whole book. Honestly almost DNF the writing was so bad. The main character when on many tangents about unimportant information that doesn’t help progress the story.
