Insane read. Baffled by criticism about it being “on-the-nose” or simplistic when this is such an amazingly nuanced and even sympathetic portrait of a pretty openly awful person. I think one of the hardest things anyone can do is portray a very complex personal situation without devolving into either polemics or both-sides-isms, and the fact that Kuang threaded that needle is all the proof you need of insane writing skill. Ending twist was kinda eh though.
