The Death of a Murderer
Researcher Anthony Marden often enjoyed reading about serial killers in his free time. He was not sadistic in nature, rather, he enjoyed mysteries and was interested in understanding the psyche of the criminally insane. However, Dr. Marden didn't expect that one day he would meet the same murderer that he often read about at his coffee table. After encountering the 5 Second Killer, Dr. Marden was sure he was as good as dead. However, surprisingly, the 5 Second Killer was not after his life but his research.
"I want you to erase my memories."
Dr. Marden was sure he had misheard the killer.
"I want to start over. I want to live a good life."
Indeed, Dr. Marden was certain he had died and gone to heaven. Otherwise, how could he hear such absurd words coming out of the mouth of a mass murderer? After realizing that the killer was dead serious, Dr. Marden had a decision to make. Should he assist the criminal and potentially be charged with harboring a fugitive? Will erasing the killer's memories also erase the past deeds that he has done? After being given a blank slate, can a murderer really become a good person?
I just discovered this treasure, and OMG it's so amazing! The main character's a villain, like a legit serial killer, and he doesn't even know it! It seems like he's struggling with the monster inside of him. It's the question of whether humans are naturally born good or evil. I can't wait for the next chapter. Please, please, please, author, update soon.
I've been following this story for a while, and the author rarely updates. Please author, update more! *sobs and cries* It's a bit slow in the beginning, but once you get into it, it leaves you wanting more. If only the author would update more often tho.
I love it, love it, love it! This story explores what a human truly is. Is a human made up by their memories and past experiences, or is there something else that makes you human. I can't wait til the next chapter comes out. Will John Smith ever find out he's a serial killer?
This is actually pretty good compared to some of the things I've read. The grammar is pretty good. The main character is unstable, unsure, lost, and unpredictable. One moment he's cool as a pickle, and the next moment he's about to rampage.
This story's different from the others, although I might be a bit bias. The writing style is different from the one's that you would find in top ranking stories on webnovel. There's more figurative language, more color, and vibrancy. The characters are deeply thought out, and the themes give you something to think about.
