I have a lot of the same things I like and dislike about this novel as a lot of others on here. I liked the original direction of the novel in the first few chapters because of the good quality of the writing and translation - so beautiful it brought out a strong sense of empathy and made me cry. The story and characters became unbearable pretty quickly though. I think it comes down to a difference in core values between myself as a reader and the author. I applaud their explicit support for healthy lifestyle choices and being against shape-wear but the the constant forgiveness and acceptance of characters pushing boundaries and an inability to understand the meaning of the word "no" were what's making me drop this after reading more than 150+ chapters. I stuck with it this far because of the emotional response I had to the first part. Ultimately it became a really frustrating read for me, hence the low rating though I'm usually a high rater
