If you don't like the author, or haven't liked his previous works, you're automatically unlikely to like every story by him.
After all, we are talking about an author who often seeks a poetic flow through abstractions, even if they are less present in this work.
Having said that, I would NEVER recommend this novel to anyone approaching the world of novels, or to anyone who is not at all used to the Korean way of thinking and writing.
In short, it is not a work for everyone, and even less for those who are approaching the world of reading, as it is a very non-linear story.
After all, when you have several characters with Korean names you struggle to distinguish them, sometimes I even get confused between one character and another, fortunately the author himself remembers during the writing phase who the character is that the protagonist is telling about.
