Title & Blurb: 5/5 Stars
I personally love this title “No Longer Human” it’s so captivating and true to the story. The blurb does a good job of hooking the reader in without actually spoiling anything.
Plot: 4/5 Stars
The plot, without spoiling it, is surprisingly simple but at the same time so very interesting, I really had a hard time putting this book down. I did wish for a bit more depth and detail but overall it was incredible.
Character Development: 4/5 Stars
The main character, Yozo actually develops in a strange way I’ve never seen before, almost like he’s forcing himself to change. His development dips and rises but ends in a way that fits his narrative.
Pacing: 3/5 Stars
I did think the story was a bit too fast paced and it would jump around too quickly. But overall it wasn’t too bad and it didn’t ruin the story at all I just wish it were a bit longer.
Overall Enjoyment: 5/5 Stars
I do highly recommend this book, I mean it when I said I couldn’t put it down. I finished it in one day and enjoyed every page, it’s such a unique idea and a fun read over all.

When I first read this, I was going through depression and related to this book a lot. The issue is that this book reads like one written by and about someone who’s depressed and stuck with untreated problems/views that affect every part of his life and never sort themselves out.
If you want to read that it’s fine, but this is not a book I can get through rereading now that that mindset’s behind me. The book itself is really good at capturing what untreated depression feels like

I really couldn’t deal with the hypocrisy of the main character—his sexist loathing of women and their needs, all while paying for sex services from women, was the nail in the coffin. I understand the subtext of the author’s own homosexuality and how this must play into his treatment of women as lesser (and how this is all a reflection of his self-hatred), but a difficult read.
