Banality

wow wow wow

great work, maddy goes on the toxic yuri all stars list for sure.

The systematic banality and ceaseless unpleasantness of it all...
To (mis)quote the janky old translation of OFF: "You can be proud to have accomplished your mission, Tippler..."

My GOD, Maddy is absolutely insufferable, and in the most revolting, inane, and obnoxious ways possible, no less.  And I thought Sam was pretty cute at first, but for all of her smarts and preternatural strength, she's ultimately just as uselessly impotent as Emma—or even Kristine—at trying to manage or improve things.

Everyone who could possibly exert any meaningful influence over the situation just rolls over and lets Maddy be her nauseatingly awful self, scarcely reprimanding her with more than a scowl and a few disapproving words even as she ruins and/or ends the lives of innocent people, with them shrugging it off as meaningless.  The (half-baked, unfulfilled) nihilism is strong with these girls...

I applaud your success at having crafted such a strikingly unpleasant and banal reading experience, heh.

Maddy is sure character of all time and it was all a miserable time.  5 stars, loved it, happy to have read it :D

Maddy really is just...the worst. Just some little asshole given a modicum of power and doing whatever she wants with it! It feels terrifying to have your life in her hands. And then Sam and Emma's apathy, treating it like an inconvenience rather than something that was ruining lives, with Sam even getting on your case if you stand up for yourself...it's so painful to engage with.

I read this a week or two ago and it's stuck with me 'cuz of how much it fucking sucks! I mean that in the best way possible of course! It struck me how little Maddy seems to enjoy what she does, raping and kidnapping milfs with the same dull boredom one has while washing dishes. Just the least enthusiastic sadist I've ever read it's fucking pathetic. Errmmm the way you ran away when I tried to rape you made me feel kinda bad so I'm gonna kill you now lol :<. TWISTED. SAD. UTTERLY PATHETIC AND I DON'T FEEL BAD FOR HER! It's called "Banality" and holy shit that is EXACTLY what it is!

Wow! They weren't kidding, this was unpleasant! Extremely well done. Maddy was an awful, infuriating woman whose relationship I knew was doomed from the moment I met her. Sam and Emma were upsetting because they weren't... doing anything to help.  Masterful character work. 

10/10 no notes.

As a torture and sadism enjoyer, this was so miserable to read. I respect you author because I read so many unpleasant things all the time. I truly thought "ha, this won't do anything because this is my cup of tea." <-- Girl who does not even know

I was not prepared for Maddy being that way. My god. My god. Truly the worst kind of person. Unbearable. Unbearable. I will remember this forever for its unbearable nature. I like terrible people in these kinds of works but Maddy. Maddy. You know.

EDIT: Still thinking about it. I feel like I've lost the game.

Extremely interesting to learn about and understand Maddy as a character. The ways in which Maddy is actually out here taking notes on being a sadistic villain was very interesting. Also tbh I thought her jokes and banter was funny.

It was a curious experience because I played this game with someone else who found this very affecting and intense, but I just found it intriguing. I think it was written and executed well, and I was always curious where the next steps would take me. I got all 3 endings and I found it interesting to do so. Also, totally wild that you removed the options and load menu haha.

Just got all three endings. I know you warned me this would be unpleasant, so I'm not complaining or blaming you, but fucking WOW I hated this entire experience. I thought I had a strong stomach for this sort of thing. Maddy is just so thoroughly hateable, a vile and selfish monster with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Like, I would have genuinely found it easier to stomach if she had a more generic creepy rapist bastard personality, but instead she has... whatever the fuck is wrong with her. Thanks for giving me a terrible experience I want to have scrubbed from my brain, I hope to God I never have to play something like this ever again.
