It was decent. A quick read, very brutal. Had me squirming a few times. I liked that the author included a note about their research into the disease and their inspiration for writing the story. I enjoy reading about unique physical and psychological anomalies.

I could predict that this would become a revenge story (which isn’t a bad thing), and I also kinda had an issue with the fact that yeah, it was technically revenge but he really didn’t feel any of it. But, being trapped like that could arguably be worse than torture, so I don’t know. It wasn’t really lacking anything. It was just decent. I wished we knew what happened to him after, but I guess that could be up to our interpretation.

3.5 stars, better than average but not my favorite.

Huey is plagued by a extremely rare disease, one of not being able to feel pain. His curiosity and unhealthy obsession with pain to hurt people soon take a turn for the worse Huey will learn that pain isn't only physical. This was one dark twisted revenge story and it was very satisfying. I loved it. I enjoyed the bonus story too at the end
