Also, the scene where Misaki stands there while her son gets whaled on parallels the scene where her father in law is berating her while her loser ass husband stands by and does nothing. I have THOUGHTS about that.

I do feel like this is going to go somewhere really good. The problem is that for 7 hours i have been listening to a woman (who is perfectly capable of killing people) put up with an asshole loser man and I must ask myself whether it will be worth the secondhand psychic damage 🤣 if this book can make me understand this, it will be the greatest accomplishment of fiction ever, so I will let them cook for now.

"show not tell." The problem is that I, the reader, have zero interest in being SHOWN a crappy marriage to a crappy man. You could just TELL me in a single sentence that its a crappy marriage with a crappy man and we could move on to the fun part, like leaving him or him dying, or revenge upon his whole family or something. This is why a "good" book is often more frustrating than some "bad" ones to me.

It cut me off, ANYWAYS he returns with none of the groceries except extra fish they don't have space to store. does he die later? I hope so. I fear he will not though and I will have to rely on my highly murderous imagination. 🔪🔪🔪
