this really is gorey, which Really isnt my thing, so theres a lot of wincing etc involved and its quite hard to get through, nevermind how long it is in audiobook format (11h30). but it is also funny in the way masochists are when we talk about pain, and i think thats what gets me through the long sections of painfully (lol) graphic descriptions. and ofc its super interesting, if it wasnt i wouldnt still be reading

not to clog the tl, but theres smth so special about masochists talking about pain that just makes me smile bc its so familiar, the affection in the authors voice when they're talking about pain is just 🥺 idk man, reading this book just makes me really happy in a v similar way to how reading the well of loneliness did
