Worse that Placebo but not the way I hoped it would be

When I saw people complaining that this story was warse than Placebo I thought they meant in a filthy way and I got really excited because the short story version of Placebo is one of my all time favourites.
Sadly they never made a longer version, I hope they will one day and that it's at least as unhinged as the short story.

Sadly I was deeply mistaken.
The art is kinda pretty and that size difference is unggggg, but the plot and execution are just bad.
Placebo had sex in front of hypnotised parents, this one has attempted murder in front of hypnotised parents.

24 chapters in which nothing is explained and a 4 page flashback at the end with a partial reveal of how it began...

Want to know if little brother is a ghost, a demon or something else? Sucks to be you
Want to know the reason why big brother was sometimes a seemingly enthusiastic participant and other times couldn't remember anything he'd done with lil bro? Fuck you, that's why
Wonder what powers lil bro has and how they work exactly? Accept the fact that you're going to live the rest of your life without ever finding out.

When short story Placebo ended I was desperate for more
When this story ended I was annoyed that the author hadn't used those 24 chapters better
It's definitely worse than Placebo
