I saw this mentioned on /x/, so now that I've read it, I'll bother all of you with it.

In 2016, a Reddit user started posting random shit under unrelated posts. He talked about MKULTRA, Nazis, glowies, and "Flesh Interfaces." After a while, his posts started to form a somewhat coherent narrative.

Alright, so first of all, you can read it for free directly on Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/9M9H9E9/wiki/narrative
Or in ebook form: https://github.com/cryzed/The-Interface-Series-e-book/releases
But I don't recommend it. More on this later.

The story:
Intriguing at first. It's delivered in a very matter-of-fact way that /x/ regulars will be familiar with, like how /x/tards usually spout inane nonsense like it's common knowledge.
And it's good! It's gory, and some might even say disturbing.

But then, about halfway through, the author realized he had no fucking clue where he was heading with the story and shifted the focus to a few characters, including himself.
We haven't reached "bad" yet, because the writing is still good, but if you wanted to know more about Flesh Interfaces from that point on, well fuck you pal.

Then the author went full RETARD and created a new account to directly interact with his cult of fanboys on Plebbit. These posts aren't included in the Narrative link above, yet they're "important" to the story, despite being quite bad.
They’re included in the ebook from Github, but some posts are simply useless (like the author saying "no" or "oh you're so special because you got SSRI yesterday" or gushing over his favorite Reddit mod (female, btw)), and others lack context because we're missing the posts they're responding to.

A lot of people hate the ending, but from the context of the second part of the story, I think it's fine. I'm not big on the shift in narrative, but the story itself remains well written (despite a bunch of grammar mistakes and typos).

I bothered putting together a better version of the ebook, removing a few useless posts (the kind I mentioned above), and adding about 4 comments from third parties to add some context.
There you go: https://www.mediafire.com/file/eyw07gq3csgc602/

I found two other "recompilations" on Reddit, but I think the choices made were fucking stupid.
The first recomp' moved the chapters around and was only released as a PDF.
The second recomp' includes screenshots of Reddit, post-story posts by the author, and fanfic shit. NOT released as an ebook. The dude also put his name in the introduction because why not, right?

So yeah, 2.5/5. Read it if you're curious.

Here's how the Github ebook is formatted, btw. This is the first page of a new chapter.

Just watch the fucking Wendigoon video like all the other youtubezoomers and leave me alone

Why the fuck would I even do that?
That reminds me that most ratings for this "book" on Goodreads are by people coming from some random podcast. That's why it's overrated there.

The Down the Rabbit Hole video on this is very good
