The main thing for me was the repetitive language. Like woof. WOOOOOOF is the turn of phrase repetitive and adverb dependant in an intrusive way. So many SOs. Words used back to back in awkward cadence.
You've got a lively mc who 'swallows dry' CONSTANTLY - babe, she can just swallow. Like christ if i hear the phrase SWALLOW DRY in 50years it'll still be too soon.
Unplug your brain and roll with the power imbalance bluebeard vibe, and you'll have fun. Pay attention and ugh. Also tw for blood. Every dang page someone's gushing.
