A gripping story that had me read it all from start to finish on the same day!
There are several twists and turns, with a story that revolves around the very dark origins of the protagonist.
This story is one of the few I've read where you really can't root for almost anyone.
The protagonist initially comes off as a gold digging manipulative sociopath, but as more and more of her back story is revealed, her motives and actions (all though they are not excused) start to make sense.
I will say that the men in this story are... Quite naive at best.
Their wilful ignorance combined with her manipulative
...
powers, is in many ways what drives the entire plot line.
They all had many occasions to jump off the train that was heading straight towards disaster, but didn't.
It was so obvious, which made their reactions quite pathetic, because there wasn't really enough narrative reasons to justify the way they ignored all the red flags (Maybe with the exception of the professor), only to turn around and blame the protagonist for letting themselves fall into her clutches.
That being said, I liked that this story ended on a positive note, but I really wished that the author had made her own up to her mistakes and come clean about the lying and scheming in order to redeem the people who deserved it. She needed to atone more for the serious damage she did to the lives of other people, and acknowledge that it was not fair to try to destroy others because she herself had her life destroyed.
To me, the story felt like it ended too soon, and that they didn't spend enough time fleshing out how things actually ended up for everyone, which is why I can't rate it any higher than "Good". I would still recommend reading this story though.
I also felt that the teacher especially, deserved a clear and happy ending, which we did not get in the "Another Story" chapters.
Justice for the teacher!!! T_T
