I have been reading this since early development and so far, it's been very immersing and fun to follow. The MC is a narcissist, but very unique in the aspect that he doesn't quite fit in the typical hot-headed narcissistic stereotype you see on TV. However, he also doesn't fit the stereotype of the perfect, cold and calculating narcissist. While I'd say it's closer to that, there is still some degree of imperfection in his callousness, which I personally find way more enjoyable than a "perfect" character. I also enjoy the attention to precise details and the authors ability to deconstruct a social situation that the MC finds himself in and convey the very small but important nuances concerning in a way that gives the reader a lot more insight into what's happening. Overall, definitely recommended if you'd enjoy a psychological novel that explores the darker side of humanity.

It’s so f * cking chaotic. I wanna preface this review by saying I listen to novels with a text-to-speech so my experience will be different to many others probably. Writing Quality: Initially I thought of it as some disgustingly horrible grammar, but you realise the stilted text is a style that reflects the way the MC thjnks and the story is carried out. I can’t help but feel it adds so much charm to the novel and if it was done intentionally, was such a big plus to not give anything but full marks. The lack of Obvious POV changes makes this slightly confusing, but again, I like to think it truly adds to the charm and the style has got better into V2. 10/5 stars. Updating Stability: well I binged what might have been one of my best reads of the year in essentially one go, so I haven’t got much to comment on this, but from what I can see it’s pretry good. 4.5/5 stars Story Development: Phenomenal. I f * cking love the way the story has gone so far. It’s so chaotic and (insert other adjectives) that it has me too fking eager to read the next chapter. I’ve been on a reading material dry period for the past month and so this was like a bottle of water in the desert. God this is so f* cking good. 6/5stars Character Design: Insanity. This guy is insane. He’s so deranged it hurts my brain trying to figure him out. And I f *cking love it. I can literally feel him getting progressively insane through the novel, and the way his tendencies and possessiveness is written is honestly beautiful. Like the build up to it I thought was really natural and all round wonderfully planned. The side -characters too are honestly great. I love MC’s interactions with them. 9/5 stars. World building: Pretty good. Upon reflection, I feel quite in tune with the world and the school. Sure, the focus of this is the character and the plot but it doesn’t take too much away from the world building. I’ll give it a healthy 3.5/5 stars. I know I’m being biased here, but this, as I said, was like a bottle of water in the middle of a desert for me. This has genuinely got me as excited as when I clicked next episode for anime like death note or code geass. It’s genuinely a thrilling read and I’m surprised it doesn’t have more views honestly. Maybe it’s time to blow it up on discord servers hmm Nice one author, keep it up!
