About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, romantic morality tale with temptation and inner conflict, in the vein of Shame or Brink of Life; Not for you if you prefer fast-paced plots or light comedy.
Pros: darkly playful premise; moral tension; romantic complications | Cons: slow-burn pacing; dated attitudes; limited action
