Hm. Conceptually this is interesting, and I liked all the setting details. I didn't check the synopsis before starting, so it was a slow creepy build to the big reveal, then a slow descent to the resolution.

But frankly, I've read dozens of fanfics that I think do a better job with the

base trope. There were too many unresolved questions (or you could even call them plot holes), and while each section is nice as a component of the whole, on their own they didn't get me all that invested in the story.
