dumaurier's review

dark slow-paced

0.5

skimmed this because i had superiority complex and thought i could handle it, turns out not really. can’t give the full zero stars bc the plot is interesting to say the very kindest, and the writing is technically engaging. but good god the content …………

Spoiler

out of everything going on in this garbage pile im really getting stuck on the fact bro was jealous of the cow
