It's well written but full of so many trigger flags, most of not all of them.

i think it succeeded in showing and exploring how constantly being exposed to disturbing content and acting as the judge of what is acceptable impacts the characters' sense of morality - they're so desensitized to what they see, and so used to permitting offensive content, that they don't seem to recognize when they're enacting harm on others.
i can understand wishing the characters and story were more fleshed out, but i kind of liked how it felt like briefly peering into this secret world that none of us have access to - the format of it being written as a letter worked very well for this reason imo.
overall, i definitely recommend - read in two days and got me out of a reading slump!
