I don't know how to objectively rate the story, but... It was something I needed but didn't know I needed.I also have my fair share of depression and despair. To me, the story is like guided catharsis. It helped me face and process parts of my own sorrow while also avoiding becoming so overwhelming I can't help but flinch away from it. I am not a person who can cry easily, but I was astounded by how many tears I let out while reading, this time. Each one seemed to lighten the burden of grief just a tiny bit.One point to note is that I suspect reading it as a serialized novel will negate its strengths. A single chapter will probably just come across as boring and repetitive. It needs more immediate context to convey the beauty of stubbornly clinging to hope and seeking recovery even within the deepest darkness.
