Follow Grimoire AcademyThere was absolutely no theatrics. The description suggested a rich, immersive environment—implying something beyond a simple cash grab—but that wasn’t the case. The only thing "gothic" or special about this event was the promotional photo. The venue was just a giant white room, and the vendor booths looked like something you'd find in a strip mall. It was clear that little to no effort was put into the aesthetics. This event was not designed for anyone seeking a unique or memorable experience. Honestly, I was one of the most interesting visuals there—and I threw my costume together from last year’s Halloween. It felt like a waste of money, catering mostly to people casually browsing as if scrolling an Amazon wishlist, aside from a few genuine handmade art pieces. If I could give it a 0 out of 5 stars, I would lol.
