- Latest Review: Of Zots and Xoodles by Zarqnon the Embarrassed
Indeed I agree that all the scenes with the killer were very unsettling. I also thought this perspective was chilling and intriguing at the same time. However, the part about his unrequited love with the detective might not be the only factor for his "master plan" to kill all the subhumans, or women. The masterplan seemed a bit crude to me, but the actual portray of his personality was quite authentic. The author also mentions that he was disappointed before (in the scene where he put the diamond ring out but doesn't bring himself to ask), and the reason he killed his wife. So I think there is some story there, even though, I think that these parts were not clearly resolved or explained, or I missed something, correct me if I am wrong.6eyed wrote: ↑07 Aug 2021, 00:55 I did appreciate how the author managed to create a killer that was so unsettling. He's unspeakably inhumane and that really adds to the horror of the moments where he seems so genuine. The only part I wished the author did not have to push so hard is blaming his hatred and murderous tendencies on his sexuality. The cast, on several occasions, are convinced he hated women because he's gay, and the big twist at the end (which is essentially told in the killer's diary) concerning detective Johnathan left me with an incredibly sour taste in my mouth.
