Not a book, but a webcomic: https://elan.school/

Be careful what you wish for OP, this is THE WILDEST shit you will ever read (at least top 5, guaranteed) and the worst/best part is that it’s all true.

Also, its VERY addictive so clear your schedule.

You’ve been warned.

You’ve ALL been warned.

Yeah, i found it here a while ago, read about 60 chapter. And then just decided tot preorder the 3 physical books. A fantastic but also horrifying read.

No it’s NOT all true. It begins true, like the first couple chapters, then it spirals into 100% creative fiction. Please do not trouble your brain & emotions over fiction.

What years were you in Elan, since you are the obvious expert? And even if the Elan part was creative fiction, are you saying that I shouldn’t care about the children who really went through that? Should I watch Saving Private Ryan and not “trouble my brains and emotions” about war because “Tom Hanks wasn’t really a soldier”?

You sound like a sociopath.

The best fiction can be quite troubling, the trick is knowing the difference and/but allowing the troubles. Good art can move you. Great art compells you to move yourself.

You know I’d rather not read about that “school” again.

Exactly, but not knowing it exist is even worse.

I remember reading through the entire thing in one sitting… it is LONG. You can’t look away

Yup, I started reading out of curiosity from a suggestion on a thread just like this one, then found myself 10 hours later feeling like I’d come down from an acid trip.

I’m jealous of the people who can take that ride now, but also glad my ride with it is over. If that makes any sense.
