Odd Billy Todd

The world feels so immersive and harsh — I wonder if the author drew from real-world fears or crafted it purely from imagination.

His struggle to find himself in a broken world made me think about how we define ourselves when everything else is lost. Was that intentional or just me?

Some parts felt tense and fast-moving, while others slowed down to explore characters' inner worlds. I’m curious about how that balance was achieved.
