Could you elaborate how I'm overcomplicating it? I tried judging it objectively, so if I'm missing anything, please notify me.

I'll concede that it's decent (especially for CPs), but nowhere near what its popularity and nominations imply. I was incredibly disappointed. A mediocre story deserves a mediocre rating.

A concept's originality is different from how it's written, in my opinion. An entity that takes the shape of a human to tempt its boss before slaughtering him is quite a unique concept. Even more so with the way it's presented: through mundane office conversation.

However, depending on how it's written, elements that are supposed to be revealed later on can be easily guessed. It takes away from potential surprise.

Either way, though, it's kinda pointless to say nothing is original. If that was the case, what would be the word's purpose?
