Oh wow. That was a pretty brutal start. So for me, it all depends on where you're going.
In this part, we really just have your premise and setting. I can envision the Lois/Superman relationship turning into something beautiful, or continuing its downward spiral and leaving them both in ruins.
So I'm hanging in (and hoping that the A plot doesn't overshadow the character development), but if I don't see any signs of hope at all in the next two or three posts, I don't think I'll be able to keep reading.
Your writing itself is, as always, quite lovely.
