Murakami should stop writing novels that include how hot underage girls are. Gratuitous and pornographic pornographic depiction of sexual assault involving a minor. Naoko is so sad and that’s such a shame because she is so hot. Manic pixie dream girls all want my penis self insert fantasy.

Spoiler

maybe laced with 4 or 5 good metaphors, the rest was dogshit. horrifically dehumanising depictions of mental illness, all deaths lack any depth of emotion, a paedophile that gets off without punishment whilst constantly dehumanising her victim??, blatant lesbophobia, every character is obsessed with sex in a way that contradicts and overshadows almost all of their other personality traits.

SADDEST BOOK EVER. I am thinking about it MONTHS later. Difficult read at points and tons of trigger warnings but is very reflective. Main character I found morally ambiguous but Murakami writes it so well that you still find yourself backing him at points.
