it was very character-heavy but the characters felt very hollow, which I found odd. I saw others mention how they wished the story was also told from the perspective of yeong-hye - but I feel like telling the story from her point of view would defeat the purpose of the narrative. the entire point is that she’s an outcast, and that she’s behaving in ways that others find odd and harrowing.
I don’t like when writers switch perspective styles (it starts off in first person, then the final two chapters are in third) - I find it very distracting.
I also feel like it was too short and could’ve gone more into psychological horror
I did like the story itself, I just had issues with the execution.
