As of chapter 40, this novel can be summed up in one word 'confusing'.
It's as if the author decides to write ten horror stories that's happening at the same time. Of course, it'll be confusing. But it might not be as bad if there're better introduction and descriptions of each of the horror stories. Instead, all of them just got randomly thrown out. I get it. It's supposed to be a confusing time in their world, but the readers shouldn't be as confused.
Most often than not, readers get thrown into a different scenario shortly after starting the first one, with no transition. I was like 'what? what just happen?' all the time.
The MC is also not the brightest cookie and a bit contradictory. He's trying to stay under the radar of the government since he got this human-skin book/scroll that can ****, but he goes to a buffet to eat for >5 hours straight each day without ever leaving to use the restroom while his stomach is still flat. How is that flying under the radar?
Right now, there's no plot and no direction. I wouldn't mind the lack of them if the horror stories are more organized. I would have stayed just for those horror stories. Unfortunately, the way they're being written isn't enough to keep me here. Sad :(
