4.5
As someone escaping a toxic polycule, this was a kick in the balls for me.
Graphic: Confinement, Emotional abuse, Gore, Toxic relationship, Violence, Blood, Body horror, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Sexual assault, Death, Domestic abuse, Gaslighting, Sexual content, and Sexual violence
Moderate: Mental illness, Alcohol, War, Infidelity, and Murder
Minor: Abandonment, Cursing, Genocide, and Cannibalism
Huge content warnings for anyone who has experienced an abusive, toxic polyamorous relationship and how it affects everyone in the polycule. There is also an example of healthy polyamory and great bisexual representation.
