Catrin purchased Rhion and lived happily for ten years. But then Rhion the Holographic wife that was supposed to love her forever has been cheating on her with multiple other people. At least 400. The two fight and Rhion disappears. Catrin then goes on a hunt to find her and fix there relationship. But fixing it really isn't possible and leads Catrin to further and further depths. From a new relationship she unhealthily attaches to, to going as far as trying to have relations with multiple people to get over it.
This was insane. I don't quite understand what I read? But I did enjoy it immensely. I was slightly confused about the ending. Was it an alien? Or just insanely intelligent tech? Also it was relatively work appropriate until it definitely wasn't. The character was insanely unlikable (which I personally enjoy) and there is no sort of closure in the ending from what I could figure out. It definitely goes a bit overboard with the sex scenes towards the end and they didn't seem necessary to the story at all. I would have also loved more information about the world itself that was built. All the different technology was so interesting but nothing was really discussed or highlighted in a way to create understanding.
Overall I would recommend it, because the concept was interesting. But if your coming for a redemption arc or some kind or a graphic novel that makes a ton of sense this isn't it.
