Every new chapter hits you with the "Awwwwww" or "There's no point in living let's just kill myslef". No in-betweens

Strange. I really like the style of everything but the faces.
Even more strange is that the 2-4 page counts normally put me off, but I don't mind them here.

The tragedy is kinda cheesy though. It's definitely too short for that.

All of these feel so incredibly insubstantial. And it's not just that they are short, other one-shots of the same length are still very good, but its because they hit the same notes I've seen hundreds of times in different mediums. They all as of yet are either "oh no im so sad, oh wait its ok in the end" or "oh how fun, oh wait no this is sad". A rapid and predictable misdirection and escalation/deescalation which is only serving to make everything incredibly bland.

@bd648 It's reminiscent of M. Night in that there's a focus on the twist before everything else, leaving the actual story itself rather hollow and the twist unsatisfyingly predictable.

Interested, but I think I'm gonna save this for a different day...
The possibility of such heavy feels isn't a... flavor I enjoy every day tbh... I just can't do the ups and downs too constantly and I know some stuff like this can definitely hit hard.
