“<div>It's a 5 page story stretched to 50 pages, repetitive to an extent that it literally would hit itself on the foot with an axe, same single sentence gets repeated 5 times for nothing and in the end you dont even get some sort of Philosophical conclusion. It's just, bad. It's so fucking bad. </div>”
