So dry

“The dismissal of these questions is not a bug in the system. It is a feature—a feature covered up with endless fact-averse words. … Women, like the accused in witch trials, are not supposed to have a means of escape; if they could argue their case, if they could be justly exonerated and walk free, then male responsibility for the state of the world would begin to become devastatingly plain by contrast.”

First three chapters were so dry they put me to sleep. Chapter 4 was decent.

Did not finish. Could not continue.

Two characters have the same name and it makes it hard to know if there’s a faked death or if they just happen to have the same name. Many editorial errors like the name for a character changing partway through the book and characters “leaving the scene” but then being part of the dialogue in the same scene. Random sections of the book are italicized.

The FMC has zero connection with any of the MMC’s but then randomly decides that they love her. Then they literally say they don’t need love because they are a computer system. Very disappointing since the book was categorized as reverse harem and dark romance with tropes including alpha males, forced proximity, and enemies to lovers. At 63% of the way through the book, none of that was evident.

Extremely hard to follow plot line. Over halfway through the book and I still don’t know what the main problem is or what they’re trying to solve.
I have not DNF’ed a book before but I could not keep going past 63%.
