This was funny when performed in snippets by the author, but I'm not enjoying reading the whole thing. It's not that funny and not very engaging most of the time.

It's dogs shit but I guess that was the whole point but god it's so dull to read.

Either way I missed that memo.

OK I hate the main character and I can't even enjoy him getting what he deserved.

Weird that he seems unbothered about killing tons of innocent people to further his own psychic powers to stop a problem he himself is causing. Then pleading how he doesn't want to be a killer when forced to kill 5 people he didn't like amd had already tried to hire a hit man on before.

Completey missed this is a book 2 and the fact the author doesn't seems to be real. Pretty interesting premises that I did pick up on at the beginning but leaves me feeling I might have missed some context for what the actual author is trying to convey but then again I missed book 1.

I know this book is satire of horror and it's obviously trying to say some commentary on it but fuck if I know what the author is trying to say and it's got the vibe of really bad famfic rather than a horror novel.

It is interesting to see the narcissistic characteristics in both the main character and in the author himself. I hate them both.

This reads like a watpad fanfic with all the extra authors notes and self indulgent references which could be really fun but the authors a misogynistic asshole and I'm assuming writing very badly

The charm and interesting writing style I picked it up for has really gotten old by this point..

I read some reviews and I guess it's suppost to read like shit? Cos I can definitely agree with that
