A little disappointed with the direction the story took

I’m starting to think the mystery is just not that interesting. Like I feel like I read this twice and don’t remember shit about the mystery. And I read it pretty carefully so I don’t think it’s me at all, I just don’t think it keeps my attention. Anyway I don’t want to completely write it off yet but.

The author probably wrote a simple twist (the protagonists will die or merge, something like that at the end), the story became popular, and they don't know how to write the path to that twist or incorporate the mystery into the story, all of this probably because they didn't decide on a big overarching theme for the story to revolve around, for starters, I don't think it's bad writing, it's more a case of "I wrote a simple story, didn't plan it too far ahead of time, and it actually became too popular because of art, how I fix this?"

it feels like it’s a coming of age story more than horror and it strongly feels like that was mmr’s intention from the beginning. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

Yeah, but by the visuals I kinda spected a really psychological with horror elements as a analogy for a coming of age
