Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I’ll be thinking about this story and these characters for months, if not years to come.

beautiful descriptions. i think it fell short by doing the whole ‘woah the power of friendship fixed you’ thing because as a narrator, yunjae was more interesting when he had his emotional/social difficulties. so much time is spent hammering in the fact that he has innate struggles that can’t be altered by his environment and then that just… vanishes. started strong and then got kind of boring at the end.

2.5/5 stars rounded up to 3.
Sometimes I feel like I don’t even know what I like reading anymore.
I’ve read books 3 times the length of this in a day while this took me more than a week yet I can’t tell what was wrong with it if you ask me.
Maybe not interesting enough or not seeing where it’s going are valid points? Maybe because I don’t care for coming of age/ya stories?
Maybe it’s an issue I have in general with literary fiction, not seeing the point of it all.
I don’t even know.
I’m confused, slightly annoyed that I didn’t get anything out of this except some good quotes and I’m pretty sure that this shouldn’t have been the outcome from a good read.

Really enjoyable easy read about how different people view the world! The translator did a brilliant job
I literally have no words. This book was one of the most beautiful stories have ever read. I am speechless. I loved it so much, and I will always think about it. I adored it.

In terms of reading it, it was enjoyable and a quickie. It t might just be being webtoon rotted but it felt like I was reading a manhwa in part with shorter term character developments. The incremental pace made hops from highlights, from the attack to Gon’s fight and meeting Dora.
The author does a very good job portraying alexityynia and the associated apathy and that hinders and hurts the story development, as it adds more impact but for me it also made it harder to parse and map out how other characters were thinking and for Yunjae’s state of mind in the end of the book.
For now I shall let it simmer because I have not formulated a satisfying moral (again it still kinda felt like a drama manhwa in that regard)
