I’m 60% sure this book was written as a social experiment about trying to make people cringe so hard that they injure themselves. The story is awful, the characters are aggressively bland, the plot is both nonsensical, and uncomfortable, and the premise is downright unappealing.
Speaking of characters, it’s clear the author has never had an actual conversation with a living human female. Not a single interaction with any of the female characters was believable, and not a single character had a realistic personality. Worst is the main character who is so moronic and such an awkward loser that no self respecting woman would ever let him see her naked. Yet the dude is drowning in very understanding women, patiently waiting in line to bone him. It’s like a really poorly written hentai that just comes accross as sad and off-putting.
From characters constantly getting down on their knees to SUCK THE INJURIES out of people (???), to characters who go around incessantly sniffing things, the “powers” are both disgusting, and narratively clunky. The worldbuilding is also totally half-assed, and undercooked. What little context was given could certainly have used more thought put into it. The culture makes no sense, and the characters’ motivations don’t match their actions, or further our understanding of their world.
The actors’ performances were pretty decent, and the chapter titles were quite amusing, but those are the best things i can say about this thing. Author probably has talent, but they should be ashamed of themselves for letting other people read this. Some ideas are better left in the waste bin. Sorry lad, i don’t mean to be so..well.. “mean”, but whew did i hate this.
