I read this story on Royal Road a very long time ago. It was my first story. I've noticed isn't very popular in royalroad. Which I think isn't doing this story justice. Its a great novel. The psychological aspect is great. The MC feels like a real person shaped through his circumstances that leads to his personality being extremely interesting. The plot is great as well. Overall, I'm glad this was my first story on royalroad at the time when I was still a lurker.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. RR is seriously tough to get a footing when you go against what’s hot. Literally these days it’s you do isekai or go bust. As a test I went and slightly modified the title on RR for one day to include the word isekai and modified the synopsis to be isekai related and it got 20+ followers in a day.

Alright, it has been a while since I've done a proper review. So please be forgiving when it comes to what I type here. Originally I wasn't very sure of the title. I was concerned it would just be another smut novel, but the psychological horror tag gave me a glimmer of hope. A glimmer of hope I'm thankful for since it got me to read this excellent piece of work. Now let me explain this a bit since a simple "great read!" review does not do this novel any justice. The first ten or so chapters really hit me. There were a few parts that made me legitimately feel like puking just because of the gross factor. Which is good because it means I was immersed in it at the time! It's probably the first time a novel ever made me sick too. Then there's our MC. A person with truly ****ty luck. I mean how can one person luck be so bad!? But it gives them an interesting personality and the way his experiences have helped mold him has made him feel more like a 3D character so to speak. A real person that you can relate with in many ways. At least in my opinion. Then there's the psychological factor. It's definitely there I assure you. And is well written. If our protagonist didn't have the background history he had I'm sure he would have gone crazy and ended up with a bad end. And the writing itself is honestly very good. Just everyday dialogue is entertaining to read. But don't take my words for it. I'm being serious about that. Go and read it yourself. Check out if this book is all this review claims it is. As for you author if you just so happen to see this THANK YOU! Truly thank you. There are a lot of novels out there. Thousands. Probably hundreds of thousands but your novel stood out to me out of that jumbled mess of novels. It can be hard to write sometimes. But no matter how hard or tiring it gets just know that there are readers like me who honestly enjoy this novel. Maybe consider opening a Patreon in addition to your amazon deal if you ever need a bit more pocket money? Every writer needs to eat. I will be buying your novel soon on amazon to help support you, but your novel does deserve more attention than its currently getting. But keep up the good work on your novel! I love it so far and I'm looking forward to binge reading all these chapters you have available. Stay safe! I hope your novel will get the attention it deserves soon.

Just make quick account to post this review here as I read the book somewhere else. Dunno if naming sites is against TOS of this site. This review has been written while I still haven't finished the whole book as I'm trying to get my amazon account unsuspended. What happens when the world seems to want to screw you over at each turn. When fate and mathematics both point out that you should have been lying in your grave a long time ago. Dio is born. The man who shall carry the fate of the world or garner enough attention of all psychos for long enough so that the rest of the men population has time to procreate. Dio, the most unlucky of unluckiest carries on in the world that wants to give him nothing more than a stick. The story itself holds both a lot of suspensions and charm at the same time. The story is gruesome, don't take that wrong. There will be a mountain of gore before the tale ends. Yet whenever Dio talks with someone who is a woman, both his never-ending suspicion and skepticism that he is talking to another Yandere make me crack a smile. Both at the wit of the conversation and ridiculousness that preserves in it. The supernatural elements are done very well. I'm still not sure whatever Dio is bat**** insane, or there is more to everything that's happening though I would like to know if ghost gf is waifu material or not. Still, the mystery of the situation is indeed very entertaining. Dio is a character that, in the end, despite everything that's happening to him, chooses to prevail. He may be quite smart, yet it's not thanks only to his intelligence that he survives, but thanks to his unwillingness to give up and stop moving even when he is clearly at his wit's end. Tbh I'm not that good at grammar, so there is not much I can say about it. It seems good to me. I also like the style in which the book is written, and while it's more similar to Japanese light novels, it's undoubtedly not inadequate or lacking coherence. The world flow is excellent, and the storytelling is really immersive. I want to get my amazon account back to continue reading this. Should have downloaded a copy for offline reading :/. Once I read the whole thing, I will write a more thorough review.
