$A Brilliant Story in Absurdist Flavor by Billy101 Friday, July 3rd, 2026 20:04 First of all, this story challenged my brain. It requires a slow read to appreciate the wit and clever humor. It has a distinct voice that uses play on words and Overall mundane absurdity to tell a story that’s actually cosmic horror. I'm honestly impressed with the author's skill in weaving a complex story that I think in many ways is a satire of social systems, which is the part that sometimes makes me stop and say “Oh wow, that is deep. And chilling.” like the imprisonment of philo—oh | don't want to spoil. Some comments: Sometimes the multiple inner voices / fractured psyche can be overwhelming, especially since the two protagonists share the same quirk. Though it’s funny. I feel like there's a deeper reason why they do. Another is that the story sometimes unfold through the characters not doing anything much physically (or maybe it's because they are philosophers). The humor is great, but I think there are times when it undercuts the impactful beats instead of letting them linger a little longer. There are also some tense slips and minor missing punctuations. Overall, it's very entertaining. Perfect for warming up my rusty brain since I'm just starting to read again. I think I will read this again in my free time because the voice is just so entertaining. But make no mistake, the worldbuilding is solid, and the plot is not what you see coming. I think this is actually a diamond in the rough. Excited to read book 2!$
