This is my first time writing a review. I wont lie, whenever I see posts claiming to have made an account just to write a review, I always roll my eyes regardless of the truth. In any case, I've had my NU account for quite a while and I actually find writing reviews quite troublesome so this is certainly a novel I consider one of my top for me to be making it my first review. And as such this will probably be short (?) But I dont know I tend to be a yapper.I think the writing style is incredibly fascinating. I dont know the correct terminology but it appears to switch between a type of first person and third person, and I really dig that. I think the translation is wonderful and while I've most definetly seen other works written with so much more prose and poeticness, there is something about this novel's writing that is so raw and appealing. It makes me feel the same way I do when I read a fairytale for instance. The simplicity yet the way it engages the reader.I said all that but to tell the truth... the main character is what totally grabs my attention. This doesn't mean that everything else is bad/worse. But I really love how insightful the main character is. The main character is someone I wish I could converse with in real life because of how meaningful his words are. They have incredible depth. And yet the story isn't uncomfortably deep. Its like relaxing unworriedly while being able to have an intellectual yet gossipy conversation with a friend.I hope any of that spoke to anyone. If you're scrolling through reviews, looking for whether you want to try this or not, definetly give it a try! And dont cry if you get attached and realize that you're going to need to wait for more chapters because its ongoing because I know I will TT.
