What Works Well

The novel's strength lies in its unflinching portrayal of obsession and its impact on the characters. The narrative moves at a brisk pace, keeping you engaged throughout. The author doesn't shy away from difficult topics, creating a story that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. While it is a non-BL novel, the author still manages to make the story something that anyone can enjoy. The ending, while perhaps not universally satisfying, felt like a fitting conclusion to the events that had unfolded, leaving me pondering the characters' fates long after I finished reading.
