  I don't usually read horror, but this was an interesting read. There's a lot of tension and mystery right from the start. Who's Buddy? Why is he targeting these specific victims to be punished? Why is Ed chosen as the punisher? All these questions and more weave a web of mystery that pulls you in, wanting to see what happens next.
  If you enjoy a great mystery with very dark overtones, then give this story a try.

  This story is one of the best psychological horror stories I’ve ever read. Every thing is described in stunning detail. The “traps” that the author thought up are down right terrifying. I won’t spoil too much, but some of the traps will have you rethinking your morality and life choices. Reading through the book has made me think if I was a “sinner”. I recommend this too anyone who enjoys a character fighting to remain human and not lose their way. The main topic of this review is to do with the traps as they are an integral element of the story. There are several different styles of traps. But the ones that the main character makes are god awful for the people living them. 8/10 because there are more spelling and grammar mistakes than I am used to, but otherwise an incredible job done by the author.

  I love a good story with a dark theme... I got invested right from the moment the MC was kidnapped to a room by a mysterious power known as Buddie. The tasks were interesting, the punishments were brutal and fit very well into the plot.
  As you continue with the chapter you get to see how Ed's morality starts slowly but steadily shifting... the author has done a great job in exploring that.
  If you like dark, mysterious and morally ambiguous plot, this is a must read!

  Overall
  The synopsis got me interested from the start, and that’s saying a lot considering that I’m not typically a horror reader. First chapter seemed a bit rushed to me, but it still managed to introduce Ed quite well, it gave me the impression that he’s calm under pressure, and that injuries doesn’t seem to faze him much at all. In the following chapters, that cool, collected persona still persisted, but with a realistic hint of fear which I find myself relating to. I’ve only read 10 Chapters so far, but I’ll continue reading because I found myself invested in the story and Ed.
  Style
  The author’s style struck me as simplistic yet they used just enough vivid words and gave life to the scenes as I read. I’m able to immerse myself in the storyline and easily feel the pain and despair just by reading. I personally would recommend using more paragraphs breaks since some parts appeared too clunky for me, however, it doesn’t  ruin the flow of the story at all.
  Grammar
  I noticed mistakes here and there, but overall they’re just tiny errors that doesn’t effect me much, does trigger OCD though (lol). Apart from that, the story’s got good grammar and the author chooses their wordings very well,
  Story
  It’s a very similar premise to Saw, which is actually a movie that I quite enjoy watching, so this novel fits my taste in horror almost to a T. Though I also enjoy the idea of reading from the perspective of the person who create these traps, it’s very interesting for me and keeps me constantly on the edge of my seat, scrolling and wanting to know more.
  Character
  Since it’s only been 10 Chapters, and most likely written on purpose for suspense, I feel like the author’s strongest point lies more within their ability to describe rather than the characters.
  Ed, our main protagonist, still felt somewhat unrealistic at times since, even though I understand that he’s good under pressure, he’s still a human, and a college student at that, I figure that he should realize and dwell on t

  Honestly a really interesting read so far, the overall concept behind the story is great. I see a lot of similarities to the Saw franchise which isn’t a bad thing, but a few of the traps are basically just traps from the movies. The whole concept of alternate dimensions being thrown in  is a super fun addition to the story and really helps add to the craziness of the story.
  Characters- Ed is extremely well written and likable and you truly feel for him in this situation that he has found himself in. Zara is crazy and I’m here for it. Buddy is the best, 10/10 would create a trap if he asked me to.
  Story- The overall story is great my only problem is done if the traps are literally slightly different Saw traps from the movies.
  Style- honestly not sure what exactly the style is here, it wants to be horror but it’s not scary at all (at least to me). There is fantasy elements with all of the creatures and it’s just a lot to take in sometimes.
  grammar- overall grammar is good but some of the more graphic scenes could definitely be more descriptive. If I’m reading a horror story I expect to be scared and my skin to crawl and I just haven’t gotten that unfortunately.
  Overall- great read, interesting concept and worth checking out.

  This is reminescent of the Saw movies, but a lot more compelling and moralistic, as the narrative principally takes place from the room maker's side of things. On balance, there's quite a bit of gore, and I admittedly don't have great tolerance for that, but I'll review the story as if I'm not so squeamish.
  Overall I think the author has done an excellent job with the concept and with the structure, and I'd highly recommend this to fans of the genre.
  Story
  The pacing is incredibly swift, and the story itself seems well suited to a serial format. The chapters are almost episodic to an extent, and I think the author has done an excellent job structuring the opening of the novel. The chapters are all on the shorter side, and engaging enough that you're quickly pulled from chapter to chapter. If you enjoy these sorts of moral retribution horror stories, then I think this would story would be a very good fit and keep you entertained for a long while.
  The concept itself feels very strong, and a lot more engaging than the typical deadly trap room fare. Buddie's fairly whacky sense of morality also adds an element of intrigue and randomness to the tale that I was curious to learn more about. The number of sinners whose punishment seems disproportionate by most modern moral standards, also allows room to let Ed take his own stand, which I think makes him a lot more likable in the long run. This all felt well handled, so that when he did decide to get with the programme it was quite understandable and not seemingly malicious.
  Style / Grammar
  There are some minor grammar mistakes here and there, but the prose for the most part is smooth and lightweight. This could probably be refined somewhat, but given I've only read 10 of over 100 chapters, I imagine things improve as the author improves on his narrative voice.
  Character
  The characterisation was probably the only part of the story that I felt could need some love. With a fairly tight cast, Buddie + Ed + the guest characters

  This is a dark one.  Graphic scenes of torture, abuse, and psychological torment.  If that's something you like, then I think this is for you.  That's not quite what I like, but it has certainly prickled my interest.  Of course, it's not entirely clear where this is going yet.  Will the MC fail to dodge his duties, and be broken by the system?  Or will he somehow get out of it?
  Style is pretty good.  The jumping between designing the traps and the victim's point of view seeing them implemented is visceral.
  Grammar is... fine.  There are some mistakes like tenses changing in the middle of a sentence.  It's still perfectly readable.
  The story is compelling by being horrible in the best way.  You want to see what happens, like a particularly grisly battle.  It's still too early to say if this ends with the horrible system defeated or not, but it's certainly something to be interested in.
  The two main characters, ironically, are currently less compelling than the victims who we are unlikely to ever see again.  Still, the little bits of flash characterization we get for them are solid.  Hopefully this means we're just getting a slow burn on the MC and his psychotic AI.
  Keeping an eye on this one.

  Style: The narrative employs a detailed and immersive style, drawing the reader into Ed's experiences through vivid descriptions and a measured pace. The tone shifts from a mundane, introspective college life to a tense, surreal scenario, maintaining a consistent focus on Ed's internal and external reactions.
  Story: The story follows Ed, a detached student who saves a car crash victim, only to find himself trapped in a dystopian game-like scenario where he must punish sinners to survive. This plot combines elements of everyday life with a dark, psychological twist, creating a compelling and unsettling tale. As Ed faces increasingly dire challenges, readers are left questioning the nature of justice, survival, and humanity.
  Grammar: The grammar is generally solid, but the narrative occasionally suffers from minor issues like repetitive sentence structures and awkward phrasing. These can slightly disrupt the flow but do not significantly detract from the overall readability.
  Characters: Ed’s character continues to evolve as he grapples with the harsh realities of his situation. His strategic thinking and reflections on past mistakes reveal a depth of character that engages viewers. The torment he endures and his moral dilemmas make him a sympathetic and complex protagonist. The character development with Ed/Sarah emerging as a multifaceted protagonist. Ed’s internal struggle with his new identity and the eventual acceptance of his situation adds depth to his character.

  The narrative is easy to read through and the descriptions of the traps provide enough information to get a good, if horrifying mental picture.
  The secretiveness of the MC's predicament does keep the reader engaged with wanting to understand this bizarre Saw, but it's a Corporate environment type situation.
  The only major concern I could address is that maybe the chapters where the victim goes through the trap and Ed's reaction of said trapping could be condensed into one chapter. I don't necessarily feel that we need to be in the characters headspace if Ed isn't there to experience it, like he does for punishments. It would go a long way by having this dichotomy of detachment from death versus getting punished with death for Ed's perceived disobedience.
  Overall, it's a solid read if you're a horror fan and there's plenty of mystery to keep people turning pages. Keep it up!

  Before I begin, I just want to state that I'm not particularly a fan of horror, so those who enjoy that stuff a lot will probably like this a lot more.
  Style: The style isn't brilliant, but it's good and conveys the story well enough. The horror is visceral and bloody, and is written as such, though it's a bit clinical at times. 4/5 stars.
  Story: 10 chapters isn't much to go off of to determine the quality of the plot, but so far it has potential, though it fails to fully convince me of that at points. The premise has some interesting elements, but it doesn't linger enough on the mysteriousness of everything going on, and Ed himself isn't much of a main character. More on that later. 4/5 stars.
  Grammar: I spotted a few strangely worded sentences, and a few grammatical errors that do seem to have been corrected. Almost perfect, but could use just a little bit more care. 4.5/5 stars.
  Character: The biggest flaw here imo. The main character isn't convincing and it's hard to follow his feelings and thought process. He's strangely calm about everything going on, he bounces from refusing to do certain things to doing them without any mental conflict, or at least bone that we're shown. We don't see much of his life, so it can be tough to connect with him. I do like that he's relatively intelligent, but the story doesn't use him perfectly. I'd also suggest showing the thoughts of the victims who're punished. I also like Buddie, who's an interesting character. For me personally, A Quiet Place is the gold standard when it comes to horror, and I think you could use some notes on your character writing from there. They're intelligent, but also emotional, and their thoughts are conveyed really well in an horrifying situation.
  Overall: I like it well enough, and horror fans will likely enjoy it much more, so I'll give it a 4/5 stars rating overall.
