Finally caught up with this.

First, it's notable that it took this long to read 28 chapters, and a reflection of the fact that it was a slog.

And it's either the case that the "last chapter" bit is misleading or that it was entirely unexpectedly axed, since the story isn't even close to wrapping up.

I really can't recommend it. It's not entirely awful, and there's still some intriguing mysteries that might shift the tone a bit, but as it is the story is too rushed and superficial, and pretty much every character, and most notably the protagonist, are all some variety of loathsome POS. In fact, the few characters who weren't utterly loathsome were apparently there solely to be murdered, and just as likely murdered by the protagonist as by the supposed villains.

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep following it or not. There's one specific mystery that's been broadly hinted at that could undermine everything - could make the protagonist manipulated and/or delusional instead of what he appears to be - just a smug, self-absorbed and entirely conscienceless POS. I still want to give NISIOISIN the benefit of the doubt but...
