Very hard read due to frequent usage of in-universe slang. It feels similar to modern day gen alpha brain rot slang and that makes it a slog to pick up. It's all told in first person by the main character so you don't get a break from it, I constantly kept thinking "What the fuck are you saying?" And that got on my nerves the more I read.

I respect the author and his impact on literature and movies but this is not for me, dropped after chapter 3.
