So.. the reason why I scored this book this low is not because it’s not good. The reason is that.. it wasn’t particularly my taste and it was very hard to read. This book has tons of kanjis and N2 grammar structures but what makes it hard to read is that it is kinda abstract. I’ve mentioned before that it reminds me of Bruno Schulz works and what I mean by it is the overwhelming usage of magical realism and abstract concepts to progress the plot. To be honest I wasn’t a fan of Schulz either, this type of writing is just not my cup of tea.

Throughout all of the book author changes the pov pretty much every ~10 pages which is nice, cause we get to know different perspectives but it can be kind of chaotic and I didn’t particularly like any of the characters,,, Which isn’t a problem for me but I just couldn’t make myself care about any of them.

Not to forget that the main male protagonist is just a stalker in my eyes? He’s creepy.

And I do agree that there were some moments that I wasn’t able to fully comprehend (that’s why I give it N1+. My JP teacher also said that this book is hard even for Japanese ppl), I was just too confused.
