where do I even begin 😭 while the experience reading this book was honestly not the most enjoyable (mostly because the plot is a bit slow, depressing, and explanatory, which i recognize was kind of the point), i genuinely connected incredibly deeply with the way yozo described his feelings towards events and his everyday life. the feeling of him being constantly mildly dissociated from everyone and everything in his life, along with his crippling belief that he will never belong with humans as a whole was really well explored. i also really enjoyed the ending, as I was really expecting it to go in a more upsetting direction, and the feeling that 'life goes on and that's just how life is' really closed the novel well imo. the ending makes the fact that this novel is essentially just autobiographical writings from the author a lot sadder but yea

it was very hard for me to get through the first part of the story. i was so confused at first and wanted to stop or dnf this book so many times. but i persevered, and it's actually quite sad. i feel sad for yozo. he was just someone floating through life.

This book never fails to haunt me every single time I return to it. I've never even been really sure how to properly review it, but it's a read that I highly encourage taking on at least once. The uncomfortable misogynistic notes leave a bad taste in my mouth, but it is also harrowing to read the inner reflections of a man who feels so out-cast by society that he rejects every single chance at human connection because of his firm convictions. The main character really strikes me as unique, a perspective I've not really read before in many novels, and I definitely enjoyed my re-read.
