I listened to it on audio and maybe it was the narrator, but this book missed the mark for me. I know it was a book in translation but something felt off. I didn’t care for the character and therefore I didn’t care about the story.

The concept was interesting, but the story wasn't what I expected. I wanted to know more about what happened
after things disappeared from the world. The book made it seem like everything had continued as normal.
I get that it wasn't the point of the book, but not addressing it at all was a bit disappointing. I also felt the writing style was a bit simple. A minor nitpick was having American brands in a Japanese story, although this might've been the translator's fault.

I enjoyed the concept and the way it’s written, but I think the ending could have been more elaborated.
