Overall it's a fun story at a slow pace, so not that much has happened up to this point. Thus it's hard to comment on the plot or the depth of the characters.Unfortunately, the translation quality is fairly poor to the extent that it's sometimes hard to figure out the subject and object of the sentences, and there are many cases that seem like the translator misinterpreted the original and assigned some that don't make sense in the context.Perspective often shifts between first and third person, which is something that I've seen many translators complain about. However, they usually adjust it to make it consistent as it would be normal in English, but this translator doesn't. Based on context, first and second person often seem to be mistranslated mistranslated as the other.I said a lot about the translation rather than the novel itself, but from my perspective the translation quality is currently the novel's greatest demerit, and it's hard to judge how well it's written with the translation holding it back.If you can live with this kind of translation and like slow-paced slice of life romcoms, you should give this novel a try.
