That one is... quite a trip. Honestly, trying to pin down a singular 'main plot' is tricky because it feels like a dense psychological maze. The core follows a character who finds himself bound by a sinister contract, a 'deal with the devil' sort of situation, but the devil is his own twisted past and his family's hidden legacy. It’s less about a straightforward quest and more about an internal unraveling. He’s haunted by this entity, the 'Black Beast,' which might be a literal curse or a metaphor for inherited trauma, and the narrative spirals into his attempts to understand and break free from it.
What struck me was how much it dwells on memory and guilt. Scenes jump between the present unraveling and fragmented, nightmarish recollections of his childhood home. The plot feels secondary to the oppressive atmosphere of dread and the slow reveal of how his family's choices damned him. It’s a punishing read in that sense—you’re stuck inside his deteriorating mind, trying to piece together what’s real and what’s a manifestation of his guilt. I finished it feeling more unsettled than satisfied, which I think was the point.
