There is something so nice about 70 yo gay protagonists and I am enjoying this

Every sentence is so stilted but i think it adds to the vibe. It’s just so weird

Damn the air of death just sits in each page /pos

This is a scene it is

I am liking this so far :D happy w the pacing too

I do like this section about apologies though. But i think there should be a section about when it is appropriate to apologise vs when ur being strong armed into it and you havent done anything wrong

Appreciate what hes doing but that is applicable to small talk and adults, the kid example was whack there’s 0 change of that working

I understand using self depreciating humour to build rapport w ppl but i do feel like ppl are shifting away from this (in terms of how comfortable they are w it) so not sure I agree this is still good to do

What, so what, now would actually be p helpful for small talk i think

Brb perpetually screaming /pos

He’s going through ‘yes and’ rn and there were other things in here that I think are technically useful, BUT this is all v generic. Like ‘yes and’ is rule no 1 of improv yk

I love Vivian’s character form a craft perspective but man do I hate her

Ok maybe i am wildly missing something but I feel like a load of nothing has gone on so far?? Like its mainly us just hanging out on a train, not necessarily w the same character but lile bouncing between a couple of them, and that’s it?

Fine so far. I think it’s tripping me up a bit that the narrator clearly can’t speak french but use french words all the time (this isn’t a bad thing, but would’ve been better with a narrator that can pronounce them better yk)

This is like half biography / in depth historical explanation of how the internet works and i kinda love it

Main girl (main couple rly) are a bit annoying, and the enemies to lovers dynamic feels weirdly shoehorned in (even tho i think? The fl has a legit reason to dislike him?) but we move

I am stupid and gonna cry I just realised she’s the daughter 😭😭
