pluckaduck's manga / #serial killer(4)

im so confused about the spider web string the killer was seeing? it ended up not that relevant or explained anyway, so why was this even added? his backstory was confusing. i felt that there was some details that was just glossed over, but ig it wasnt so important

it was a fascinating read- sure it's unique and refreshing among the sea of bls, but when i finished this, i wasn't sad or creeped out, unsettled or fulfilled, or whatever the author intended for us to feel. most of the time, the plot felt directionless- like i get what's going on, but it feels rather monotonous and mundane than a thrilling display of different power dynamics (ig i was expecting a cat-and-mouse dynamic...). however, there was always a lurking feeling that this tranquil vibe would shatter any second... hmm, perhaps this is the tone the author was going for? also, i would love it if the charas were more fleshed out, even if it meant prolonging the story, to really get into the twisted psyche of the protagonist and ml(?). i like how from the viewpoint of society, they look rather normal- mc was a psychopath, sure, but it wasnt edgy or in-your-face, and ml was a seemingly amiable novel writer- it feels more realistic, and makes sense how the naive psychiatrist would fall for them.

i get why the mc refuses to believe the dude about her mom, after all, it's someone she has known her entire life. however, after the evidence she found in the basement, and the fact the mom erased it and lured her into a trap, bro, at that point, not believing that her mom was a willing accomplice is just plain stupidity.
