I almost did not finish this one because it was making me less interested the longer i read it.
It wasnt really bad but, it was underwhelming. Given the hype, I did expect too much.
I found the overall concept unique,it was exciting how one can travel to the past by a cup of coffee.
I also love how excruciatingly detailed the rules were.
However, it felt like it was executed poorly (it may be possible that it wasn't translated the way it is written originally). It had its ups and downs but most of the time, it would say a lot about someone's feelings but also, nothing at all.
I love how every character of each story was connected and have impacted each lives. I'm not sure if I want to continue the other series because I'm convinced it's not my cup of tea — or coffee.
