2.0

I had to fight to finish the novel because the characters (especially the protagonist) were lowkey unbearable and there were way too many long winded (and sometimes non-sensical) rants.
I like the premise of the book but it's just so. dragged. out.

Although it was quite complex and multilayered I felt that it could've been shorter. Since it was incredibly long it was not as impactful as I hoped. Also I thought that the ending was just weird. After so much darkness and hopelessness

Spoiler

all is resolved with the power of love? What was that? Also the misogyny was quite awful especially during the part before the confession scene
