Needed a light read and this was perfect for that.  I loved creepypastas as a kid so this book is exactly the kind of thing I was bound to love.  The horror was surprisingly effective and the episodic structure was perfect for the story being told.  Can’t wait to read the next volume!

Edit: Better than the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer

This rating is largely a side effect of light novels not being my cup of tea. I enjoyed the inventiveness of the horrors our heroines encounter, but the pacing, plotting, descriptions, prose, dialogue… it was all a bit lacking and clunky. Just couldn’t get into it personally.
