Um, what was this? The first thing I thought when I started reading this was how bad the writing was, but I’m not used to reading CYOAs, so I figured I had no right to judge, but after reading this, yeah, I think I have a right to judge. What even was the plot? All I have to say about it is that it was strange and ridiculous. It was also so boring. This book wasn’t worth my time, and it certainly isn’t worth yours.
