I almost didn’t finish this. It really dragged for me, until we got to the “Athena’s ghost” arc near the end. I thought the satire was so overwhelming that there was hardly space for anything else in the narrative.
Graphic: Death, Racial slurs, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Mental illness, Gaslighting, and Cultural appropriation
Moderate: Stalking and Sexual assault
Minor: Suicidal thoughts
