I used to think TMA is great, but lack my favorite part of horror, which is intimacy. The reason I love horror is I love learning about others' most personal desires and fears, and love being able to empathize with it. Meanwhile, the author explicitly said he avoided bringing anything relating to personal trauma.
But lately I realized that by generalizing and studying the types of fear, it seeps into little everyday dreads and paint a picture of behemoth presences felt by many. I see gore and think how it reminds everyone of their own Flesh. I see empty spaces that make me think about isolation, and wonder how many people are experiencing something similar somewhere else at that same moment. I read about worries like how AI will replace people and ruin the environment, and I think about The Stranger and The Extinction. Yes, it's not specific enough to be personal, like a childhood trauma or an insecurity, but it's felt by many more. By all of humanity, in fact.
I can usually give a definitive rating for a story a few days after I finish it, whether I like it or not, and what I feel it lacked for me. My appreciation for TMA comes much, much later; even after I finished TMAP S1, but it grows every day instead of diminishing. This rarely happens, or even the first time it happens to me. It's incredible and as someone who thinks I've mostly seen it all, I'm deeply humbled.
