A good example of no plot only vibes. The author did a good job with the spooky ambience and flowery descriptions, and it was fun to read this while listening to some classical dark academia playlists. However, the characters weren't particularly complex or engaging, the plot (the little that there was) was vague and cliche, and the ending was quite disappointing in its simplicity. Overall, it was alright, but considering the length of the story, I feel like it could have been done in a way that allowed for a better plot and deeper character development.
