Fantastic adaptation of Dostoevsky's voice to internet-age consciousness. The paingasm concept really captures how performative suffering has become, especially online where we dunno if we're genuine or just spiraling for content. What got me is how the endless search for root causes before acting basically describes every twitter thread I've seen, where analysis paralysis turns into shitposting becauseits the only action left that doesn't need justification.
that'll happen soon-ish! I've been working on a cover and such. I want to play fair, so I'll finish Part I first, then I need to finish Part II draft in full because it requires more consistency in translation/adaptation between the chapters. Once the draft is done and I'm confident I can finish everything by the date X, I can create the title and open preorders! There'll also be Part III, which is my meta-commentary + historical detail of how FM wrote and published it originally. Maybe it'll be Part 0 (not sure what's Roman numeral for zero, probably nothing because they were stupid hehehe) instead of Part III but I'm not a fan of Prefaces. thank you for the interest Alex, and cheers!
Frist! Can't wait to dig in!
Damn, this shit went from funny to scarily real to solemn real fast. As usual, great writing! What a roller coaster
cheers!
I'm loving it!

I continue to enjoy this.
Can I pre-order it in paperback?
Not kidding.
