Y'all are not ready for what happens in the last few chapters fr fr.
Hard disagree. 40-51 just feel like fillers with how disconnected they are from 52. There is literally 0 impact.
The ending is pretty.. unusual but nothing incredibly intense and most certainly nothing to write home about. The skip showing her full on retardation in 52 and how she ended up made sense to a certain degree but it finally did feel out of left field and fully forced to pump out a "this is wild and different!!"-shock value ending.
She did develop into that direction in the last few chapters but she was only there like 5%. Ch52 jumps to her being at 200%.
As it stands, it pretty much is the author sacrificing her to tickle the readers brain, no matter the quality of writing.
This ending could've done with 10-20 chapters more. Wouldn't feel as out of place story-timing and character wise.
Possibly a case of unfortunate axe with the desire to still wrap as intended even if it reads poorly.
