This is a little better, but is extremely tropey. It’s somewhat interesting that the main character works to interrupt tropes… if that is on purpose. But the byproduct of that is that the killer is just a caricature. It deflates tension because you know nameless will intervene. And though we are told he can only “sometimes” stop these bad things, just this premise alone means that traditional structure doesn’t work that well. The only question I have as a reader was: Will Nameless succeed? And that question enters near the end of the story, at the climax. Feels like everything is rather perfunctory.
