The emojis were definitely annoying but after a few paragraphs my eyes just glazed right over them and I didn't pay them any more mind - I guess I might be missing part of the story that way (it definitely adds a kind of flavor and given the horrendous nature of typing emojis I assume a lot of thought went into them), but I thought the story without them was well-written.
