Similar surrealist vibe as Haruki Murakami and Kafka, short read, becomes more interesting the more you think about it, but felt like I needed to read other reviews to gain a full meaning from it

Extraordinary, haunting, and unique. I loved the Kafka influence of trauma transforming a person's body and soul. This was an emotionally challenging read with themes of female submission, sexual assault, fetishism, depression, and the trauma of childhood abuse. It left me feeling chilled and desolate, but I loved it.

The first two parts of the book are so eerie disturbing and disgusting. It was hard to keep reading for a long time because of how disorientated characters are. I like the third part the most where it was more like a literary fiction on feminism. The writing though, even I read the translation, the writing was so lyrically and beautiful. It gave out the eerie disturbing, opened ending vibes.
