  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

really great! i do wish it was actually a decent amount longer, with more explorations of its characters and etc, but a lovely novella and a fascinating thought experiment. it's very "i have no mouth and i must scream" and i love that for it... very good :) some of the writing at the beginning about the demons was a bit corny imo but I got over it very quickly. also I was
very sad about rachel. as a fellow falafel loving vegetarian, my heart hurts.

eternity is the true "hell" and whether it's called heaven or hell frankly doesn't matter. man. loved this.
