Swipe Right on Danger 🤖💔

 
In a world of endless swiping and digital dating, what if you could match with the perfect partner - one literally designed to be flawless? 🤔

The story follows Clara, who decides to try an AI android dating service after hitting the pause button on her relationship with her boyfriend, Mateo. It’s a classic "let's try something new" setup, but it quickly spirals into a dark, terrifying, and suspenseful journey that had me hooked from the very first page. 🎣

I'll be honest, usually I hate thrillers. I have a very low capacity for scary things, blood, murder, and gore. I also don't do suspense very well. But the pacing in Artificial was so perfect that it felt more like an exciting rush than an anxious wait. It’s a short, fast-paced story that I flew through in one sitting. 🚀 Llovet does an incredible job of building tension without ever letting it overwhelm the story's core emotional heart.

Okay, can we talk about the artwork? As someone who loves and works with color and aesthetics, I was in heaven. 🤩 The art is absolutely stunning - vibrant, colorful, and incredibly expressive. It’s not just there to look pretty; the art is a crucial part of the experience. The color palettes perfectly capture the mood of every scene, from the neon glow of futuristic tech to the intimate, emotional moments between characters. The visuals did so much work to get the feelings across, and it was just beautifully done. ✨

Another thing I loved about this story was the characters. Specifically, I loved the dynamic between Clara and her friend group. 👯‍♀️ Their interactions felt so real and relatable, providing a necessary anchor and pushing the story along.

Let's be real - our world is flying toward a future where AI is part of everything. The idea of dating an AI android is starting to feel less like sci-fi and more like a potential reality. 👀

And on the surface, it sounds pretty tempting, right? A perfect partner designed to satisfy your every emotional and physical need, with no messy arguments or demands of their own. Who wouldn't be a little curious? 😏

This is exactly where Artificial shines. 🌟 It takes that tempting fantasy and explores the hidden dangers 🚩, serving as a powerful, cautionary tale about what that world could look like. It's a stark reminder that you can never truly trade technology for the beautiful, complicated reality of human connection. 🤗
