part way through writing this review, i found out the first iteration of this story was posted on reddit to r/nosleep and i fear i could tell.
a lot of great ideas with subpar execution. it seemed to really struggle with itself, as if the author decided 3/4ths through writing it that he wanted to take it in a different direction. there was never a moment where you go âaha!â as puzzle pieces click - the readers are never rewarded for paying attention, because details they pick up on never return in an impactful way. why did i spend time putting together the randomly capitalized letters in one of the supplementary documents between chapters when the phrase i decoded never came up and had absolutely no impact on the narrative other than being generically mysterious?
reading the novel wasnât a waste of time, but any time spent actually trying to parse meaning from it is.
