I wouldn’t really call this extreme horror. The story was interesting enough to want keep reading it but the gore and such was pretty mild. Definitely some gross out scenes but i didn’t find them that extreme.

Somehow I’m more upset by the MC’s “I’m not like other girls” vibe, throwing fits when called normal or told he still unfortunately is a part of society than by his nefarious deeds.

I am absolutely furious at this ending. I feel like my heart has been ripped out and stomped on. Alas,
I have immediately borrowed the audiobook for Harrow the Ninth from the library.
