I found it really funny which I don't think I am supposed to... Raskolnikov is lowkey relatable in that he is about to faint at any moment in this book. There were also some really intense scenes which were *chef's kiss* and yeah... a lot of philosophical ideas about man and his superiority complex. Not as great as seeing my boi Raskolnikov on the verge of fainting every second but still interesting.
