The concept of the story is really cool and I’m sure I’d appreciate the finer details if I did a reread HOWEVER I really disliked the mc/narrator.
He’s just so whiny and mopey. Also women are merely accesories to his life. Women barely have any substantial role in this story. I really was close to DNFing this book because how intolerable I found the mc.
But I really did appreciate this unique take on parallel universes albeit a bit repetitive. If I had to be stuck in multiple one room parallel universes with someone may it never be with the mc from The Tatami Galaxy. I think I would have to kill him.

It wasn't what I expected it to be, I was hoping for a more whimsical, hopefully outlook on life from the narrative even if it didn't come from the protagonist and his friends. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was still a student. The narrative relies alot on conversation to do the storytelling which I didn't enjoy either.
I didn't love this book. The structure is interesting, but the main character is at best boring and, at worst, self-important, weak willed, and insufferable. It would almost have been better to read a book about the evil best friend Ozu. He's a creep, but at least he's out there scheming and plotting. Our guy just spends his time navel gazing and hovering one rejection away from becoming an Incel.
I finally got to the end, and there wasn't even... a point to this tedium. I honestly felt like the narrator; trapped in the same depressing location for 80 days. I almost gave it 3 stars for the unique premise, but then I remembered the main character started having conversations with his own dick and his dick answered back in full sentences. Yikes.

Fantastic!! So much I could say. Lots of things I’m left wondering about. Not to sound corny but it’s one of those books that made me think about my life etc. etc. and this book did it in such an intriguing and fun way. I think it would appeal to anyone and everyone!
