Read the full take
A shy student, a fake relationship and a stalker problem. Rin is leaning in already. The setup is simple, and the dread builds fast. The run is short, so the tension stays tight. You will feel the squeeze from the first few chapters, which is the point. Honest take: this is not comfort reading. The gore and body horror are intense, and some readers will bounce off them. The romance and the thriller also rub against each other at times, so the tone can feel mixed. When it works, it is a sharp, unsettling ride. When it wobbles, it feels like the story is chasing shock. If you want dark psychological stuff with a short fuse, give it a shot and go in braced.
