1.0

It reads more like a poorly written true crime video.The characters aside from the main character are one dimensional, the writer attempts to add depth to why the MC does what he does and leans into
mental illness
but it's definitely not thought out. Overall its just a badly written attempt at horror. It's more shock value, based on different actual serial killers than the writer being creative. The lack of grammar also wanted to stop me from reading, although I hope it was just a miss print on my end.
