I still think you got the schizo aspect done well, but I'm also beginning to think it's at the cost of, for lack of a better term, being enjoyable to read
maybe it's because of the idea that it's not a "real" experience even if it approximates one, but at some point it's begun to get tiring to read. it's weird because I've read a way too many journals of this ilk by people with the actual conditions and it's usually interesting if nothing else. Piecing together what's actually going on can be interesting, but there are several instances where I just have no idea wtf I'm reading and while I GET it's the point, that doesn't make it fun you get me
it also honestly reads like a journal more than actual psy horror tbh. some parts are so goofy that I can't tell if they're meant to be funny. I think so? That's fine and levity in horror is based, but again, there's a few too many instances so it feels more tonally confused than anything else. In a vacuum this could be fun, but for a psy horror light novel... hmmmm...
