I finished this whole book and I liked the whole book when I was reading it but after I got done with it and like after a few weeks and I was like just reminiscing about the book and just actually thinking about it, oh my God, I actually hate this book so much. I have no idea how I read it. I don’t know why I read it in the people who say that’s five stars and that everybody should read it and that’s the best book they ever ever read they are freaking liars because I know they’re lying and I hate it so much. I actually hate this book is so much OK and I’ll give you a few reasons too so the first reason is that I didn’t even really see this as a romance that much like OK I had some had some romance in it And it was like you could tell that I guess it was based on romance, but seriously they had like zero interactions with each other and if the interactions were there, they literally got cut short because they’re literally in a horror game and they’re about to die every two seconds so WTF that’s not gonna work and then the other reason is that the ending like oh my God, oh my God it’s it’s a plot twist. It’s definitely a plot twist and it’s something else but what the freak  oh my God OK so the ending is this is definitely ending, but the ending is where the guy the main lead he isn’t actually a person and he is literally part of the game like he’s the 12th door. He’s the last enemy that you have to beat to get your wish or whatever but he came alive because the main character he liked the main character so much and he wanted him so bad that he came alive and he literally experienced his whole life again like well not his whole life but the whole life ever since the first door. He literally experienced that all Again  With the main lead, and like the main lead, took the main characters position in life and then after he came out the door, he literally didn’t remember anything but the life that he just saw in the door so he’s like oh yeah you’re actually you’re the leader of this group. No, the main lead was, but since the main lead overwrite his memory , oh my God, then he was that it was so freaking annoying. I mean, he ended up coming out of the door anyways and we met him. I don’t know how but we did but seriously that this is the most annoying book ever. It’s so freaking annoying. I just like the whole thing. It’s definitely a good book if it was not Romance  I mean you should definitely know that there’s little interaction between the two and it’s sort of slow paste, 100% slow paste oh and it’s definitely just not romance. I would like this if I was not looking for romance because I mean it has everything. It’s really funny and stuff but oh my God no I hate it. I hate it so much
