i get the attempt at interlacing events instead of a chronological order, but even that can’t help the amount of absolutely useless bs that keeps ruining the flow (it’s got me questioning whether the narrator or the author is more obnoxious)

yet another american psycho from a female pov so far

not the cringy haha hehe scene where the "villain" joins the good guys’ joke and they tell him he’s not a part of the gang

tbf, they should’ve let him die and dealt with the aftermath. that would be way more realistic

nvm, it’s good. i guess im just a bit too old for school drama

considered dnf’ing because that’s not how school works lmao, but it’s getting interesting now

why is there a straight kiss in my toxic yuri

halfway through and i had my first yeah-that’s-not moment: i don’t think someone with absolutely no training could throw a spear that far lmao

nvm, it got worse

"[…] she bent down and picked up the pen, demonstrating the only reason why a woman should wear a pencil skirt: to show off the perfectly rounded curves of her fine ass."

if michael gets emo and mentions having daddy issues one more time i swear—

"[…] he needed therapy with a punching bag."

get it? he doesn’t need normal therapy because he’s a MAN hence why he needs to punch something

there’s no way people act like this

why did i have an easier time reading faust than this

why did the quality of the writing suddenly improve?? did the editor just skip the first 40%?

"He could feel the liquid [beer] lubricating his mind."

absolute banger

this reads like something they’d give you to work on in a text editing class

i’m hooked

who needs trash tv when you can be deeply invested in the lives of gay hockey players

why is ilya in every single one of these

i just want my favorite middle aged tsundere man back

this is the first time i cringed at one of these

the angst is really good in this one

the wedding thing was so cute oml

some of the author’s comments are… questionable

ouch, humbert is becoming (even more) unhinged
