knully 's review for:

The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang
2.0
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No

I generally really like a lot of the building blocks that make up this story, but unfortunately the way they were assembled in this story just didn't hit well for me. I didn't find the story engaging to read because the characters were so self-center, close-minded, egotistical, and whatever the word is for when you don't care about anyone around you except how they can give you what you want. The characters only get worse. I think this is what the author intended, but the story didn't end up going anywhere that made me feel any of the concepts were well explored. In general it was a good idea, I'm sorry it just didn't land for me.
