Lonely Receiver by Zac Thompson

2.0

This was... something? Admittedly, I was a little outside of my wheelhouse given I don't know much about the horror genre as a whole, but this was a strange graphic novel. The first few parts (of five total) were quite enjoyable, traversing the pain and confusion involved after an intense breakup, but the plot definitely felt like it spiraled once it hit the second half of its entirety. Perhaps if there were more parts to better portray the downward spiral experienced by the protagonist? Or at least more clearly explained worldbuilding. Regardless, the art was interesting enough, and I wasn't as thrown off by the amount of nudity especially when contrasting the AI vs "proper" human, but the amount of sex scenes when knowing this was written as a sapphic story by a man did make me uncomfortable. By a certain point it felt more fetishizing than exploring.
