How is any physical thing pretentious? A book cant be pretentious, only the reader. You are a pseud.

Its a fun atmospheric ghost story and you got filtered by its fans.

Well its 3 stories at once not two.


I mean it's not the greatest literary accomplishment, sure is fun though. Great to see the medium used in unique ways, I like when authors push the limits of what a novel could be.

I reccomend it to anyone who is a fan of books. Its certainly unique

id be okay with this book if the fun gimmicky bits were all there was but there is an ugly ass aimless mess thats 400 pages long and the parts dont create a good whole at all

It's multimedia, and at the time pushed the envelope on the budding creepy pasta/green text story genres' development. For what it is, it's fine.

Full of absolutely useless walls of text, could have been much better if it was condensed down to 600-700 pages.

Then a book also can't be either good or bad, moral or immoral, it's prose or poetics likewise. It must also not have an intrinsic meaning or theme. People say these things because it's easier than saying "the writer was" "the writer did" "I liked the writing of'," etc. What a worthless fucking attempt at seeming smart.
