i had high hopes for this since the rating is so high and i've seen so many good reviews but it was just... not. ofc maybe it was just not /my/ cup of tea but to me the whole thing sounded like men-whine. the first half was dragged for too long and the second was just this poor not-like-others man bewitched by a not-like-others woman. maybe im being too harsh from annoyance but raif did annoy the hell out of me once he started narrating. just finished cause it was too short for me to dnf halfway-ish.
