First, Kolya reminds me of myself and my good ol' sensei! He's the og pretentious lad, but like Alysoha said, he's "distorted"
Second, NOOOO the captain's family :((( The temporary joy they experience is hurting me. Now Ilusha is dying because of depression; Everyone grieves and it feels like being stabbed by a knife seeing their sorrow :( EVEN KOLYA CRIED!
this is definitely in my top five chapters of this book!

Chapter 1-2: I love that, even with how deranged they are, they still love each other. Mitya and Katya's toxic relationship, paired with the conflicts with Grushenka—everything is, yeah, beautiful.
Chapter 3: I am at lost for words. The first book to actually make me cry, like, cry. The funeral is depicted so realistically. What a way to end a book, really. Lovely, so lovely.

This chapter replaces whichever my second favorite was.
It is chaotic yet thrilling in all sorts of aspects. The chaotic deliveries of the witnesses, the boastful prosecutor, and the GOATED FETYUKOVITCH; the speeches for each side of the case are really contradictory indeed, and if I were there, I'd be enthralled, too!
Sadly, yes, Mitya cannot escape his fate. And, yes, the Karamazovs are the epitome of Russians.

So far very interesting, this is literally a family courtroom drama and YES should be titled crime and punishment. It really seems like a fever dream too. Chapter 7 of 17 more to go! I WILL FINISH THIS TOMORROW!!

I love Alyosha for staying on Dimitri's side (AND YES my goat's right in the end). I despise Ivan for acting all mighty just to make peace with his conscience he was so sure of no relation to God AT ALL. Alas, because of his inner conflicts, we've found the murderer and Ivan has gone delirious. It's nice to see Ivan being humbled once though.
Chaotic as it is, this chapter is important and OH I'M NEARING THE END! :O

(I left this for three days and I'm glad I came back) GOSH I thought I'd be so bored with this (since Mitya pisses me off so much) but dang I feel pity for him becauase, yes, it's not his fault now! As much as I hate him, he is charged with something he did not do and I love the mental conflicts he is having upon being interrogated; it shows how ignoble people can still revert to their once good nature ig...

Mitya stands for TOLOL btw. It was boring to read this at first since I don't really like the oldest, but after arriving at the end of this chapter, I'd say the writing is brilliant. The chaotic delirium Dimitri experienced has already given me an inkling of what's happening next, but alas it still surprised me (and to think that he's eventually happy before the revelation of his vile deeds, kinda sad lol) 43% to go!

This chapter mirrors many themes recurring in Bible, but in a whole another new perspective for me.
The journey of Alyosha dealing with his grief is just so beautifully written: the sorrow followi Father Zossima's death, the joy he brought to Agrafna, and the understanding of all of this in relation to God and life—Oh, I shed a tear!
Part III Book VII, has single-handedly won my heart as the best chapter so far.

The last surge of Father Zossima and his big great lore :(
The mysterious visitor compromising his sins; it's like seeing myself all over again (I hope I could confess one day like him)
Hands down, this might be the second best chapter, it empowers my humanities soul!
"Brothers, love is a teacher; but one must know how to acquire it, for it is hard to acquire. it is dearly bought, it is won slowly by long labour."
