344 days to finish 177 pages—but to be fair, i restarted like 3 times because the prose was well above my capabilities initially. i also forgot a lot of the novel's details because it's been a while.

dissociation is very heavy handed here too, especially since the MC feels alienated.

This is a book with an excellent description of mental health issues, dark themes but not as dark as others say.

Written incredibly, love the translation. Dark and depressing, found it relaxing to read. Would recommend it to someone without serious mental problems.

Honestly almost didn't finish this one despite the length. I get the positive reviews, but the narrator is just so insufferable in his angst that it feels like it might be a YA novel. I appreciated the ending and the structure, but damn. If the claims that this is semi-autobiographical are to be believed, I really pity the life of Dazai.
