challenging dark reflective sad tense

I have an ongoing issue with translated korean/chinese/Japanese literature that it often feels emotionless and i just cannot get invested. This collection suffered a lot with that but there were one or two stories I felt that lift slightly - frozen finger, ruler of the winds and sands, and reunion in particular.

Reunion was my favourite of the collection by far, but it was a really slog to make it through to that the final story. Snare through to Home Sweet Home I just didn't enjoy at all, the stories were boring and the prose so difficult to connect to. 

Rounding this up to a 2.5 star purely because if how much I liked Reunion.
