Interesting story. I was confused a couple of times which could have been due to the translation or the nature of the story.
Moderate: Child death and Dementia
Minor: Fatphobia, Death of parent, Car accident, and Infertility
magneticcrow's review against another edition
Ahh, hmmm. This was an odd one. It has some charming properties I enjoyed, but at one point a character describes their writing process as “you begin and you keep writing” and that feels like this author’s process too. There’s also a lot of “male author writing female character”… that is to say, you hear constantly about the main character’s nipples and ovaries for some reason.
There’s also, well, the final twist is that the brilliant child prodigy that everyone stole their ideas from was “actually” autistic and couldn’t write or speak intelligibly. Just a lot of… whew. I just wasn’t ready to be broadsided by the ableism.
Graphic: Fatphobia and Ableism
Moderate: Bullying, Death of parent, and Sexual content
Minor: Car accident and Vomit
