Came to re-read and peruse comments to see if I could find like-minded readers like me ......

Agree with you!! I liked the story too it's one of it's kind...fucked up...but true to it's origins...

I was gonna say pfp checks out but did u read guardians of the lamb after dark heaven? This is obviously a tragedy and a dark story, but how are people 'clowns' for hating the sheer amount of SA in the story? Also, It's natural to complain about the of the plot if the mc gets SAd all the time or makes poor decisions.. I think dark stories like this are meant to envoke negative emotion, that's why they are tragic. If we didnt get a bad feeling while reading, that would be weird.

But, its also hard to tell if the author's intent was to create a dark tragic story, or if this story is supposed to be porn with some plot. That's probably why so many people dislike this. Good for you that you were able to find depth and perspective but the main character at some point is written to be strong willed, but is also so weak at other times it feels like theres a disconnect between his personality and his choices. I would have thought this was an ok dark tragedy and I do get that making these bad decisions is supposed to be a part of the tragedy, but how can expect people not to complain abt an mc that makes god awful choices. But I also think making the readers upset is an intention of the author so they succeed cause I really do hate the ending

Having read both Love Shuttle and this, I just don't like this author's writing. I find their characters underdeveloped and inconsistent. Their plotlines are weak and the pacing can be awkward. I'm not opposed to darker-themed stories, but this is a pretty subpar one imo. I'm curious what draws you to this one specifically.
