This is an enjoyable slice-of-life tale following the MC as they journey across the seas with their merman companion, who refers to the MC as "his." The sea creatures featured are captivating to explore. If you're seeking an apocalyptic survival narrative, this isn't it; instead, it's a lighthearted read for those fond of ocean themes. The storytelling occasionally switches perspectives between ocean and land-based characters. However, I must admit to feeling slightly let down by the ending, which wraps up rather abruptly, as if it were just another day at the end of the day (184 chapters in total). It almost seems like a honeymoon retreat for the couple, complete with intimate moments (with "fade to black" descriptions).
Aside from the initial accounts by the authors regarding individuals with autism and Asperger's as "Big Yikes," the book is exceptionally well-written and a pleasure to read.
