"I can't get no, sa-tis-fac-tion"It's well written imo, I recommend giving it a chance, but it frustrated me quite a bit. My biggest complaint is how dumb and pathetic the MC can be, despite being so clever and, this is revealed pretty early but I'll mark it anyway, Spoiler
the super contrived rules that prevent him from reading the whole of the regressor's memories. The idea that she can come back and just not have certain memories in her mind unless she has a "flashback" just annoys me.
[collapse]The book is really taking time to develop the characters and their relationships, which can be really good, but b/c they're stuck in the same spot and the MC does a lot of dumb things despite being so clever, it kind of deprives me of the satisfaction I usually get when reading about smart characters.I feel like this dislike is more just my taste rather than mistakes, but its frustrating b/c I think this would be something I really liked if the things I complained about weren't there.I read till chapter 86, and the very end of that chapter was another moment that made me yell: "Why is a guy this smart so damn s*upid!" I assume the author made the character like that for humor, but it annoyed the hell out of me. I'm not planning to read anymore, but you should give it a chance. Might not bother you like it does me.
