i will add on to this but OMG THE AMOUNT OF RAGE I FELT??? KYLIE JUST KNOWS HOW TO MANIPULATE UR EMOTIONS. I felt butterflies, sadness, anger, stressed EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. No cause the sheer amount if plot-twists too? God forbid like i think that kylie does a great job at crafting such complex characters and creating such intricate plot-lines. ALSO ALSO HER WRITING??? The perfect balance between personal and flowery/descriptive. It gives margaret owen esque vibes but more tense and dark. Also i do have to say this is insanely gory but like i dont rlly imagine it that crazy just so i wont have nightmares!! Um 10/10 i screamed “OMG NO” and gasped 500 times! Also i am in love woth Li Hong he is my bae. I love Hong’s guys (from Chloe gong to Kylie teehee)
