"It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't."

Plot-less, eye-roll inducing and at times offensive (dnf)

Tries to go for funny and modern/internet-ish language, but ends up just being just a mishmash of mentions of the word "penis", disjointed episodes revolving around cthulhu-esque monsters, and a smattering of slurs (both racial and mental-health related) that maybe are meant to "be in character" but seemed gratuitous to me.

I was amused and entertained at first, but after reading a good third of the book I realized that the only ideas the author had were to keep dialing up the literal shit, dicks and the slurs.
