Well, I've read King of Thorn vols. 4 & 5 now. One to go. Realized after borrowing a physical copy of 5 that I could read the whole thing in scanslation online. Stupid.

Well, no, I like having a physical copy I can thumb through to look back at previous scenes. It's quicker.

Um, review? 4 has twists, starts to explain just how weird the weirdness really is. There's a long flashback, 2 or 3 chapters.

5 takes it further. Starting to get a bit "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" by the end?

I guess I'll read 6 in scanslation now. (continued)

OK, Just read volume 6 of King of Thorn. (In a version translated from a Portuguese translation.) Ow. Ever read something where your mind is trying to make it all a dream so it makes sense/is less horrifying?

Yeah, it's like that. Clever enough, surprising twists in every volume despite actual foreshadowing throughout of one of the final ones, & I think mostly internally consistent.

Ow, my head.
