riot incoming

y'all if this is just silo with the serial numbers filed off i'm going to RIOT

hey blake? buddy?? is now, when your MC is fighting off some monster trying to rip out his guts, really the time to be noting that his abs are "well-defined"??????? IS IT REALLY??? i've noted this with the other 2 books of his i've read, but crouch 100% suffers from the dan brown self-insertion disease, just a milder strain. -__-;;;

okay, i'm really glad i have read 2 of crouch's other, more recent books before this, because this would put me off him for LIFE. what in the coked-out-richard-bachman fuck is this book ABOUT???

what the fuck even is happening lmao, this is monstrous. the most dangerous game but add some psychological torture.

i'm not sure what it is about guys who "never hit a woman" but are fine with violence otherwise-- like that's not the flex you think it is?-- and like dude, if a psycho nurse is trying to inject you with something while giggling about how excited she is to make you go thru surgery while conscious but paralyzed? fucking knock her out!! idk. it's stupid.

woof i forgot how much "you are trapped and everyone is acting like you are crazy" plots scare the shit out of me lmao. i still don't like ethan's POV very much, i care way more about teresa trying to figure out what happened to him. if this is some time travel shit (which kate being old seems to imply) imma be annoyed.

i'm really not liking ethan's storyline at all, it feels unreal, and now that we're in teresa's storyline it seems clear that the "town" ethan is in ISN'T real, or there's something wrong with it-- not like stepford weird, but like, he's in a simulation or something. they're just not acting like real people. idk.

so the sheriff isn't going to go investigate a report of a fucking decomposing body up the street??? and why is no one asking ethan if he needs HELP? this is wild.

white men can't just ask for help, jesus christ, lmao
