3.0

The book is a fictional story about an ostracized monk in training with a stutter developing pyromania and setting a temple on fire. The temple was his primary obsession from childhood and was his guiding force throughout his life. Kind of a literally me sort of main character where the main character is honestly kind of edgy and cringe.
