"I just can’t get invested. There’s a severe lack of chemistry and the dialogue feels more like people saying a line than conveying actual feelings.
The framework is there. But the rest is lacking and it makes me not care for the characters or where the story is going. The stakes don’t feel high and the romance doesn’t grip me despite a theoretical good setup" — Sep 16, 2025 06:27AM

I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”
