I had to fight to finish the novel because the characters (especially the protagonist) were lowkey unbearable and there were way too many long winded (and sometimes non-sensical) rants.
I like the premise of the book but it's just so. dragged. out.

„Die Ewigkeit erscheint uns immer als ein Begriff, den man gar nicht fassen kann, als etwas Riesenhaftes, ungeheuer Großes! Aber warum soll sie denn absolut ungeheuer groß sein? Auf einmal (stellen Sie sich das mal vor) kommt es so heraus, dass da statt all dessen nur ein einziges kleines Zimmerchen ist, so in der Art wie eine Badestube auf dem Lande, ganz verräuchert, und in allen Ecken Spinnen, und das ist dann die ganze Ewigkeit. […]”

„Stellen Sie sich wirklich, wirklich nichts Tröstlicheres und Gerechteres unter der Ewigkeit vor als dies?” […]

„Etwas Gerechteres? Woher soll man’s wissen, vielleicht ist das so, wie ich mir das ausmale, ganz gerecht; und wissen Sie, wenn’s von mir abhinge, ich würde die Ewigkeit jedenfalls absichtlich so einrichten.”

This is a bit of a slog to get through. It picks up a bit more in the final couple parts but I wouldn’t call it a satisfying read.
