Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.

the board games in this are just fundamentally incredibly confusing and i genuinely do not understand. why was louisiana veda so popular when her games can basically fucking kill people????? when there’s rumors of straight up torture at her factory??? why are so many people enchanted by her still??? also HOW THE FUCK DO THE GAMES WORK???? why are they this interactive?? how does that work?? also frankly who on earth would play a game where the instruction guide is the length of a novel, and how would that game get so popular that crowds are scrambling to buy it??? why do these teenagers love louisiana veda so much when she kinda just seems like a terrible girlboss ceo??? none of this makes any sense at all and i really really dislike it. dnf’ed at 45%.
