| Review | An unplesant voyeuristic torture porn-story featuring some of the most sterile prose that is brimming with pointless anecdotes parading as worldbuilding, dry infodump monologues that do a lot of telling instead of showing, in which the reader is constantly berrated with surface-level platitudes about society and healthcare. Also turns into a slice of life loony bin simulator halfway through which is distasteful. Fundamentally disingenuous as it cannot commit on its subject matter and instead attempts to tug at heartstrings with unsavory and cartoonish drama, where the weazel author had to come up with a supernatural disease turning people into living-deads in order to avoid tackling the causality of mental illness. ''Hihirus'' are described as being incurable reanimated corpses, roaming city streets in a state of confused stupor, emanating a foul stench of putrid carrion and decaying flesh which attract swarms of flies. The narration makes sure the reader understand that Hihirus are rowdy and like to play with their own excrements. This is where the storytelling falls flat on its face: Hihiru zombies are acting as dangerous sanitary health hazards everywhere they go and due to this very fact, there is not a single ounce of empathy to be had towards them no matter how well-spoken they may appear to be at first, for they are seconds away from clawing at their own faces or hallucinating dead people or insects. There is no real-life equivalent and compromise to be had when the premise of the story is this flawed: the author made sure to justify the discrimination and intolerance towards such monsters every step of the way which is deceitful and outright offensive. On the bright side, the sassy tomboy photographer was cute and deserves her own game. Go read Johnny Got His Gun written by Dalton Trumbo instead for a genuine anti-establishment commentary against the unruly state of healthcare and society. |
