Ahoy there mateys! This is a story about a grim reaper type dude who kills people when their productivity potential is outnumbered by their debt ratio. Cool concept. Selfish main character. Lirium is naïve and learning more about how the world works. The idea of taking life force being like a high from a drug was interesting. I just got tired of his attitudes around sex and his lack of complexity. He really didn’t seem to grow much. Stopped reading at 14%. Just didn’t work for me. Arrr!
