Brilliant writing! Even if you're not a fan of gender-bending stories (like me), you can still enjoy this one. I'll explain more below.This is the main point I wanted to express while reading it.The author has a true talent for writing, and if you're familiar with other anime or novels, you'll easily notice his influences.If you like Re:Zero, you'll surely enjoy this novel as well. It’s heavily inspired by it.Since I mentioned Re:Zero, you can already guess that this story isn't a fluffy school romance but more of a mental breakdown tale. (Avoid spoilers; it's best to read without knowing too much.) Spoiler
One thing I love about Re:Zero is the sense of hopelessness. Even if you know what's going to happen, you're just an ordinary person who can't do much, yet you still decide to do what must be done, even at the cost of your mental health. (And the lore of course)
[collapse]I also noticed some similarities to the writing of Albert Camus. If you've read his work, you'll understand the connection.Don't read the spoiler if you're familiar with his book, as it could ruin some surprises.SpoilerI'm referring to L'Étranger (The Stranger) ; the novel even mentions it in one of the chapters.
[collapse]I won’t say much more because it’s better to dive in without too much knowledge, but it’s a masterpiece. The first 50 chapters are a masterclass.This is one of the best Korean novels I've ever read. I hope the rest of it is just as good.
