I also had the same problem reading only a few chapters. But I decided to give it a second chance and it turned out to be QUITE THE FUN READ!! And I can guarantee you’ll come to enjoy it~ I highly recommend ya picking it up again~!
Yes, it is
There were def a couple moments that had my skin crawling but they happen less and less. Once you get past 1st the first half theres significantly less self harm and suicide actually which is nice. Obvs if it makes you very uncomfortable tho, you may not be able to make it there lol
The further you go, the more help the MC gets in the form of friends. As the chapters get on in number, it becomes less and less harm-focused and more and more fan-service-y (m/m with minimal m/f service).
All in all, it ends up more humorous than horrifying~
I'm currently at chapters 20 something. The self harm stops after the first couple chapters and he seems to be doing better than before. Ii would just suggest to scroll past it
Is this worth reading? I have tried rereading it many times but I couldn't get past the first few chapters. I usually don't have problems with gore, but I guess self harm is where I draw the line
