I knew this wasn’t going to be amazing but I had no idea how dull it would be. I found the constant inner dialogue that vacillated between “they don’t know what’s coming, I’m so fierce” and “I have no idea what I’m doing” to be tiresome and really lacking in anything interesting to say. The whole plot revolves around a dinner, obviously with other very confusing side quests, but I felt like the stakes could not be lower. I cared very little for any of the characters and the world building and the “rules” of the world were confusing and convenient.
