virtual voice narrator

I personally couldn't get past the virtual voice to enjoy the story. Due to the dull placement of words which show know true reflection of human feelings its hard become connected with characters that lack emotion so virtual voice narration is not for me.

Fun Collection of Tales

I loved that so many of these stories took elements from cultures, whose horror stories I don’t get to hear as much.

The terrible ai narrator

The ai narrator is terrible. Makes the stories unbearable to listen to. The stories are interesting but won’t be able to finish this one.
