Okay HEAR ME OUT!!!
I wanted something to read that I knew would be bizarre and fun, that I could hate and have a blast.
But AND HEAR ME OUT - this is actually good? Like I dunno, I am not even halfway in, but so far? I dig this, it is not a GREAT PIECE OF FICTION but it is exactly what it says it is and for that I am grateful - grateful for our freedom of speech, so we can write and read about huge fucking merman.

The progress in the romance makes no sense, because they had tension and attraction but then they had their fight, but it actually had no consequence? And suddenly they are in love. But there was no love only attraction and tension, not much of actual angst and suddenly all is well and we would die for each other?
Also the threat of the brother is just weak, alongside worldbuilding and reasoning of most decisions.
