Weak start but interesting after a while

I didn't like how it started. It's not the violence or anything like that, but the characters felt one dimensional and the story felt rushed at the beginning. It felt like Raymond was following a design and didn't feel like his own character... Until a few chapters in.

The story really picks up when you're fed pieces of the mystery, then suddenly everyone is playing 5D chess (and some of them might even be playing checkers and don't know it). Reality and mystery blend and now you don't know who's real, who's fake, who's good and who's bad. It kinda gave me season 1 death note vibes at one point.

It just takes a bit of time to get there, but it really picks up. You'd have to stomach a lot of abuse and sexual violence though. And I'll add, I really don't like any of the characters, but it somehow works with the story.

It annoys me!

What's the point... why do people only give it 1 point? This is a psychological story. If people don't understand it or don't want to read it, then they should leave it alone and not rate it at all. I can't rate something if I've only read two or three pages. Honestly, what kind of childish, defiant behavior is that?

Anticipating redemption arcs for many characters

I hope there are redemption arcs in store for almost all of the characters. The tags seem appropriate and the trigger warning is definitely accurate.
