1/10. I'll be as specific as possible as to why i despise this "creepy" pasta.

1) Boring. Simply put 97% of the story could be condensed into a few paragraphs. Basic run down, we dug a hole. We came back later to dig the same hole. We went through the hole. No spoiler, but it's obvious from the title what the end is.

2) Repetitive. Not just the story, the wording/ description is almost identical for most of it.

3) No suspense. Say for the last few paragraphs, this could easily be an encyclopedia on spelunking. There's no "real" danger. They dig a hole, crawl through with safety gear, and that's about it. The last few paragraphs are just predictable. I knew from the first letter what would happen, and sure enough it did.

4) The end. There is none. You read a short novel about digging, then it gives 0 closure, not even really "choose your own adventure" ending, they clearly die. If you go back to a haunted cave, after (no spoilers) you die. But the author can't even put a good death scene, just a "we'll keep fighting Naraku" cop out.
