Has is been nearly a month since I finished this book? Yes.
Does that stop me from being embroiled in fury when my mind wanders back to this book? NO!
Stephanie has the nerve to lead me once again into this false sense of security. This woman manages to entrap me in The Hollow, as if everything is just going to be fine and dandy, as if this book is not TITLED "The Ballad of Never After" and things won't have to possibly shatter into something worse. . .
But to do that once wouldn't drive home the Never she has to bring us back to light for just the briefest moments, just to best emphasize just how back the darkness is.
Because what is worse death, or losing who you are as a person?

Sometimes you finish a book and you just can't quantify the things it's made you feel and this book was a 100% that and that's all I've got to say.
Volume 1?!?! VOLUME 1?!?!?! I honestly had been okay with the ending of this as The Ending™, I hadn't realized that it wasn't and I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about continuing on, as the ending before this gave me similar vibes of the scary stories we read as kids where we don't get a real conclusion.
This does start out really slow, like REALLY SLOW and even as the pieces start to fall in place the pacing doesn't feel like it picks up. I feel like Everything is Fine falls victim to the change in format from webtoon to physical book when it comes to this. Because the way you end up consuming this book is in one sitting which isn't typically the way that you consume webtoons. But also there is the fact there is something totally different in the way that your brain processes scrolling down thru a chapter vs turning pages the contain 3-6 panels typically, for some reason the later just ends up feeling slower. Even if they may look like they've always been in this format with how they overlay, it doesn't give the same impression when you're trying to processes it as a reader.
If you can get past the pacing, the story is intriguing though you find yourself entrenched in a story somewhere between Big Brother and The Stepford Wives. Where you are left constantly trying to piece together the pieces of information you are given, and to fully understand what is going on/what previously happened.
Overall: Interesting, but better consumed within the web-based form.
