This story is something else. The emotional journey you take the reader on is rarely matched here on itch, every character feels genuinely distinct and the twists often feel like a punch in the gut. The ending to chapter 51 had me loudly exclaiming "WTF!!!", likely concerning my neighbours in the process. I wait, rather impatiently, for the next chapter.
The fact that you don't actively charge for this (outside of donations, patreon, etc.) blows my mind.
