cw: murder, death, blood, gore, violence, animal death, chronic illness

this is based off an older indie horror game and probably shouldve stayed that way. art is relatively nice overall, the story itself isn't a terrible concept, but the execution is lackluster at best. too much tell don't show/exposition and cringey dialog. neither of which is great in a manga format.

probably just play the game or watch some playthroughs on YouTube instead 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's the same name (without the diary of Ellen subtitle) & made in rpg maker. I'd recommend manlybadasshero's channel or markiplier.

the repetitiveness in parts of the first volume are not present in the second and it honestly makes it flow better from story to story. I love this so much, feels very slice of life.

MY HEART 😭 I had a wonderful time with this one. a SLIGHTLY slower burn, found families, action, romance, steaminess. a wonderful start to a series! a couple parts maybe moved a smidge too slowly for me, but overall I very much enjoyed myself and I cried a couple times. Definitely continuing the series!

cute. since it was initially serialized, each little bit starts off the same overall and THATs a bit repetitive but I really enjoyed this and will absolutely be continuing the series!
