If this would have been just the first story, this book would've been so good but the other stories I barely got through.

Selama membaca seperti menyusun sebuah puzzle dan bertanya-tanya, “buku ini ceritanya mau dibawa kemana?”. Karena setiap lembarnya tidak terlalu banyak clue yang mencolok. Benar-benar seperti menbaca sebuah catatan harian. Tetapi, boom! Endingnya di luar dugaan. Semuanya plot twist, siapa yang harus pembaca percaya? Pemikiran yang ditulisan oleh Kim Byeongsu kah? Atau fakta sebaliknya? Atau jangan-jangan, di halaman-halaman terakhir ketika ia di penjara pun bukan seperti itu keadaan aslinya? Pemikirannya menipunya, pemikiran pembaca pun seolah ditipu oleh penulisnya. Tidak ada yang tahu. Semuanya terlalu seru dan cepat berlalu.

short story collections never seem to work for me, and this has solidified my opinion there. the first story is by far the strongest in the book. it is twisty and thought-provoking and quick. the other three stories take up the same number of pages but felt like a drag. i found them boring, sad, and too abstract for me personally.
