1.0
1 star because the author actually managed to teach me a con-lang slang within 141 pages.
If it weren't for that it would have been 0 stars.
The author wanted me to pity the main character, Alex. After all, he undergoes horrible things throughout the story. Thing is: he is such a terrible person and has done so many abominable things himself, that I no longer care about what happens to him. He deserved the torture and should have stayed brainwashed. The end ✨
