limbus book series

are you familiar with the game Limbus Company?

its a korean gacha game featuring 15 main characters, 13 of which are based on characters from classical literature. i want to play this game, but as a fun project, i have decided to read all the books associated with these characters beforehand. this is roughly 7000 pages of reading! it is going to take a while!

you can read my reviews of each book below which i will write and post as i read them. you can also see their corresponding limbus character, nunber of pages, year of release and author :)

Heathcliff - Wuthering Heights

[360 pages, 1847, Emily Bronte] - An iconic tale of two diametrical houses, filled with subtle queer undertones, gooseberries and racism. At its heart, Wuthering Heights carries a powerful (and surprisingly modern) message about identity in the face of oppression, how humanity should surrender ourselves in the war against nature and why selfish hatred is worse than the devil. But more importantly, it dares to ask the question we're all thinking: why are the rich like that?
