I liked this one a bit more than the first one I think. The writing style and humor is my favorite part. Plus this one had slightly less ableism, transphobia and pedophilia, but thatโs about it.
I know this series is obviously purposefully ridiculous, but itโs so frustrating how oblivious all the adults are. I know thatโs the point. I get it. But I hate it. I know this story isnโt supposed to be taken seriously at all but it BOTHERS ME lol
maybe itโs just my autism being uncomfortable with the chaos and miscommunication idk.
