Just Awful

I thought with the positive reviews that this story would be interesting, but that was such a wrong impression. The story starts out pathetically cliche, full of horribly simplistic "baddies". After the universe-splitter plot twist, it tries to create more suspense and plot twists but only ends up contradicting itself (the consuls would have understood Kels stupid "puzzle" about no-face seeing as they were the ones to clean it up the first time!; the time-splitter didnt split the original 100 people so why did it split Ember?; how did Lady Astaria know about Ember if the parallel universes didnt know about each other?). These so-called plot twists are just stupid and go against what the story already set up. And then things get downright insulting in the way the story handles the topics of torture and murder.

Chapters 17-18 spoilers:
Seriously, Ember watches Kel brutally torture and kill a guy but is ok with it just because he has a sad backstory? And the next night shes only worried about how Kel saw her kiss Ash, not how Kel is completely f---ed up and deranged? And she couldnt immediately figure out that Kel murdered Ashs parents despite it being beyond obvious and predictable? What disgustingly simplistic and pathetic handling of such gruesome topics, and its supposed to be ok because, oooooo, Ember can dress up in cute outfits and kiss Ash.

This story makes me really angry. App deleted.
