I liked this book and loved the ending. I can see how the writing style wouldn’t be everybody’s cup of tea, but i’m a fan of hojicha ;)
When the characters in the story notice the protagonist, it almost feels like a fourth wall break, and it fills me with joy every time. The way the story slowly reveals the protagonist’s own story is beautiful, and the book is a real page-turner. I read this book in a day and loved it.
