Beautiful art piece, but I fear the art carries much of the book. The story is good, but felt drawn out for the sake of just being drawn out at times and I skimmed some of the dialogue at times. This isn't one you can read like a normal graphic novel, you have to be paying attention because even then it can be insanely hard to path your eyes for the next text bubble/space.

It was ok, but it did make me interested in the actual novel I suppose.

Not beating the playlist in a book stereotype.
I am getting convinced most novellas are an excuse to make money on a half pint idea that you don't have to actually flesh out. This one furthers my point. The characters? Didn't care. The plot? Like bumper cars, the way it bumbles the reader into a plot point head on. The ending? Nonsensical. Horror? Nope. Mushrooms? I guess. Rats? Inconsequential. Had some potential but completely fumbled it within 20 pages.

It was fine. I hated all the characters but the story was interesting. Simple, but not dumbed down. I would recommend it to people just wouldn't be my first recommendation.

How is an author so pretentious that they acknowledge they have written a load of nothing burger book, but proceed to try and pass it off as the most philosophical book you will ever read? Literally just go watch two horror movie YouTube critiques, read 'It came from the closet', watch literally any robot themed movie, and find an edgy Quotev poetry collection from 12 years ago by a Creepy pasta obsessed teen; if you do all that then you've read this book. There's nothing productive about this book and it's a waste of materials.

I really wish Ito would focus more on extending his short stories because stories like 'Town With No Roads' would make some killer series. Instead it falls off quickly. I love Ito's works but at some point when you read three of his compilations, you've gotten the jist of all of them.

It was fine. Like a b rated cheesy sci-fi movie you put on when you're in the hospital and you think hey it's actually kinda good but when you rewatch it at home (since you zoned out with the beeps of the machines and the volume was stuck at 4), it's not as good as you remember. I didn't particularly care about Ophelia nor did I care about the rest of the characters. A lot of the events and interactions felt shallow; I fear the actual horror and interest started to pick up as soon as it died off. It was hard to pick up and understand, I don't think I fully picked up on what was going on but overall it was a decent read. My biggest gripe actually has to do with the romance, it wasn't needed and felt incredibly forced with no actual chemistry building to illicit a purpose for it being a point.

Callum: proof good pussy can in fact change you from raging racist Republican to a social justice warrior in less than 15 hours.
Cate: that one girl who's 'liberal' and a 'feminist' but dates a racist horndog who doesn't hate her (just her people) within 15 hours of knowing him and loves to say "you guys just don't know him like I do, he's really kind and loving he wouldn't say those things" (and when he does say those things she looks him in the eye to say "babe this isn't you, change for me 😟" and now he just says it when she's not around).
Also directly to the author: do you know that just because you didn't see the genre 'romantasy' until after 2020 because your only source of content is from TikTok, does not mean romantasy hasn't been around for nearly two decades. Like I'm probably at least a decade or two younger than you and I remember getting into romantasy tagged media in middle school. This book fully reads as being written by someone who has never interacted with the genre outside of the TikTok best sellers section in Barnes and Noble.
