*Incoming wall of text*
When I first read this novel, I was very surprised. Pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I didn't expect much from this, but my expectations were blown off the charts. In terms of grammar, I didn't notice any blatant errors, or any inconsistencies (which are the most annoying). Since I'm, unfortunately, accustomed to bad writing by other webnovel authors, I may have missed some, though. In terms of story and background, I was simply blown away, as I expected very little of this story, and instead I found a coherent, character driven, structured story with a clear direction and a prevalent aura of mystery. I especially loved the dark and eldritch theme, and its unusual and highly logical approach to the horror genre. But what I most enjoyed was how the author treated madness. I won't go too into this to not spoil it for anyone, but this (along with ThePotatoKing's novel) is one of the most chilling and in-depth depictions of madness I have ever read in a webnovel. But splitting your attention from those heavy themes is adorable serial killer waifus! We all want those. Lastly, this novel has a villainous MC with actual villainous characteristics. He's not some half-baked ''villain'' who's just misunderstood, or a supposed villain who's just evil because he has no other choice and tries to do 'good' when he can. Oh, absolutely not. This MC *Slight spoiler, continue reading in a few lines* is a bloodthirsty killing maniac who takes pleasure in methodically hunting his victims and giving them drawn-out painful deaths. He is also an actually smart character, unlike other ''smart'' MCs which are just normal people surrounded by retards. *End of spoiler* Well, if you dislike those kinds of MCs then you probably shouldn't read this. Nor if you dislike gore. Taking all those points in consideration, the only reason I can't give this novel 5 stars is because its update stability is downright depressing. I can say with almost absolute certainty that anyone thinks that waiting 1 month or more for 1 measly chapter is simply unreasonable, even if it is a masterpiece. I personally think that the author should give some consideration to the many readers that have a similar opinion to mine, and think about dedicating a bit more time to this fantastic novel. This is just my opinion though, and if the author doesn't have the time or just doesn't want to dedicate more to this novel, then I'll just have to respect it.
