I think since this technically is an earlier work that got republished, it definitely could have gotten some more editing to have the story and the dialogue mesh a bit better. I found the plot confusing to follow until about halfway thru - while the characters made it fun enough to stick with it, I feel like it could be a no go for some folks.
What I did like was the imagination and prose regarding the afterlife, the realms of gods and demons, and how the author paints a picture of how dull a life of immortality might be.

applesodaperson's review against another edition
And within the first 18%, the only conflict that got set up was the question of how Tom died. But I didn't like Tom at all, and was not interested or intrigued in the least to find out how he died. So then I had nothing else keeping me reading.
Just don't waste your time on this book.
Listened to on Libby.
Moderate: Death

Also, regarding those confused at the big game they play, it's not that complicated.
