dark
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This came highly recommended to me, but I found it really underwhelming. I didn't really feel a point to any of it, and everything felt rather predictable.
I personally love dark and unhinged female characters, but this character lacked depth. Everything felt overdone and shallow, and the ending (which I saw coming from very early on) was so rushed, but it made me grateful because it meant it was the end.
