3.0

The art style is fantastic and the drawings are amazing. The story itself is one that's boring and redone a million times. X male gets addicted, fucks women and ends up with a string of dead ghosts haunting him. Halfway through the misogyny and overall grotesque treatment of literally every female character almost made me put the book down. I didn't out of spite and thanks to the actual art which is why I wanted to give this an actual rating as the art is fantastic but the story is not worth it imo. The main themes are essentially torture porn & the CSA scenes at the beginning were definitely too much and whilst yes they're an integral part of the MC's character, as someone else mentioned, alluding to CSA would've been more than enough.
