I’m gonna touch it.
Impressions:
It certainly has its template. She tells people not to do something, they ignore her and do it anyway, oops, it was a monster, she punches it. Swing, book, toilet. Plus her cursed dad in the interim. I particularly liked the end of the second segment where they took all the cursed books that want to kill people and just dropped them off in the middle of the street for some random person to take. This was supposed to solve the problem? And we’ve just unleashed this plague of monsters and are… leaving it at that? Okay.
Well, the entire thing about this place being literally swarming with murder ghosts is kind of funny on its own. One a week is one thing, but four times in a row? We’re well past misadventures and quite far into wondering how anybody has survived this hellhole at all, and especially how all the kids don’t have PTSD from being nearly eaten by demons on an hourly basis. Even Goosebumps has more subtlety, not to mention twists, turns, and surprise developments over this. It may not be another RPG world or villainess thing, but it’s still pretty childish despite its pretenses at horror.
