The flow just feels so unnatural - it's clear the author wants the story to go a certain way but doesn't know how to get it there so plot device after plot device it is.
And you can only throw in so many obsessed dudes carrying around their knife collection before it becomes silly. The plot is not realistic enough to be deep and not funny enough to be camp.

And law enforcement apparently only employs people with an IQ under 90 - as the cops are unable to determine something was self-defence despite a ton of eye-witnesses.
We also get a social-media-is-bad pity-porn sequence - that felt even more unrealistic than the murders.
The deaths themselves also make no sense, don't ask me how I know this - but if you stab someone in a non-vital organ they're not gonna pass out immediately. When someone is holding a knife to someone else's throat - don't stab them unless you know what you're doing. You might get a brief moment of shock from them but in all likelihood they'll still continue what they were doing before bleeding out.
It all feels a bit "Look at this, this is gore! You shocked yet?"
And don't even get me started on the clean-up.

The ML is serviceable. The FL is dope though, wish the story would focus even more on her, and I think that might be happening in later chapters!
If the author would try to tell the story by using the interaction between ML and FL the flow would work so much better, but instead they just constantly get interrupted by some random psycho simp for unspectacular action scenes.

I think I will stick with this an raise my rating once the FL gets pushed more into the spotlight, but for now I am just too put-off by the messy flow and the over the top characters.
