The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang
1.5
dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked the ideas but the execution did not sell it for me.
Much of the dialogue felt very wooden and the prose was extremely purple. Eg: human mortality described as "gelatinous". Some of the descriptions didn't make sense such as massaging the tension out of ones bones and tendon.
Felt like a story was written and then a thesaurus was thrown at it.
