Boring, uninspired story of an asshole and empty character. Nothing drives him to do anything. His response to everything is “i guess”. Everything in the story is left up in the air. It seems like nothing is decided and the story jumps from half conversation with people we barely know or remember. The way the author writes about women makes be cringe. Her breasts don’t have their own consciousness. Stop pretending you add anything to the story by saying her boobs looked happy or whatever.

Also istg if the author used “at the end of my tether” once more, i’m going to scream
