When people warn you that this book is disgusting and vile. They are not joking. I read the whole book with my jaw on the floor and horrified. It's a good read that I'll never read again.

The writing is beautiful. But really read the trigger warning before. I already knew what I was going into.

This is legitimately the sickest thing I have ever read. If you have a weak stomach, maybe skip this one.

I DNF’d this. It’s shocking just for the sake of being shocking with absolutely nothing else to offer. The MC is the biggest pick-me incel/edgelord known to mankind and I can’t shake the feeling that the author self-inserted here somewhat. 

How many times can a character repeat how dark and twisted, how different and not like anyone else he is you may ask? Apparently every other page. We get it. 

If you want a pile of misogynistic incel necrophilia fantasy then go right ahead. If you want splatterpunk/shocking books there are many out there that do it 100 times better. Don’t waste your time/money.

Not as detailed in the gore as I’d thought it would be based on people’s review. I found the story teller a bit arrogant but not in a funny way. Not for me I guess
