Honestly, the world this plays in is so incredibly interesting and I'd even argue that the characters are very intricate! The physical torture and sexual abuse do play an important role in this narrative, obviously, but I feel like it just isn't handled the right way. These acts of violence do have their place in this, but they should be treated with the severity they deserve in terms of characterization and narrative influence. Instead of diving into the MC's psyche or any of the other character's deeper thoughts and feelings, we repeat the same cycle of abuse. Which is a shame! I think he whole mutant thing is very interesting
