dnf'd after about 100 pages. I just couldn't read anymore and forcing myself was painful. I love the anime adaptations of his other novels (Tatami Galaxy, Night is Short, The Eccentric Family), but this felt very much like the draft version of his later works. I tried to get through it for months and I just couldn't. Maybe I'll come back to it once I read his other novels I own.

Extremely slow paced and insists on being edgy.
