Ohh this was really curious! You really nailed it with that gothic horror kind of vibe, the opening was really eye opening, hehe, and just the way the story narrates how MC's family just completely falls apart and the apathy of the townspeople was really quite heartbreaking. The curiosity of what exactly is happening to MC and if there is something much sinister happening is quite intriguing!
Looking forward to what comes next~ Best of luck with the progression of the development~!
