I'm 10 chapters into this, and I find it to be absurd in a good way. It's extremely over-the-top and it doesn't take itself seriously. This certainly fits into the "popcorn food" type of story that's light, silly, and enjoyable if you don't care to dig too much deeper. Although it does a good job establishing character so far. I do think the average score it has right now is appropriate, but it's in the fun category of mediocre. I don't mind recommending this to someone that enjoys absurdist comedy.
