I’m not sure how good the translation is

I don’t want to be mean but also I just didn’t like the book very much? It’s well written (or translated, I really don’t know where credit should go for stuff like this) but it feels like vibes and set pieces were the only priority with plot as a distant afterthought. It just doesn’t work for me.
