This was an interesting read for me. Not my preferred genre but it sounded like I said.. interesting. I was confused a bit by what tense it was in or maybe I just didn’t like it. The story overall was short but I liked it the concept kept it interesting to read. I enjoyed seeing the Mc find his emotions with the help of the people who care around him.

“From what I understood, love was an extreme idea. A word that seemed to force something undefinable into the prison of letters. But the word was used so easily, so often” - Yunjae as narrator

Easy to read and well paced and well written.
I teared up twice but not at the moments you think.
Its a great character study and bit of psychology in a non-academic way.
I didnt have any complaints

While I enjoyed the overall premise of the book, the plot was a bit much for me. I would have loved to explore the thoughts and human connections of the protagonist more, to be able to really get inside his head. Unfortunately, the overwhelming and sometimes painfully absurd plot did not allow me to relate as much with the characters as I would have liked.

"I do not know how this story will un- fold. As I said, neither you nor I nor any- one can ever know whether a story is happy or tragic. It may be impossible to categorize a story so neatly in the first place. Life takes on various flavors as it flows.

I've decided to confront it. Confront whatever life throws at me, as I always have. And however much I can feel, nothing more, nothing less."
