this book is really strange (just read it), it started with a really powerful background story of the man but the more i continued reading it the more i felt bored.. the ending didnt satisfy me at all

If you like Thomas Ligotti and get turned on by abjection you'll like this. Otherwise, you should probably stay away.
What kept me reading, despite strongly disliking the abject Ligotti style, is that I felt like this was a Korean writer trying to write the POV of an expat living in Korea with all the worst elements of that equation turned up to eleven. This didn't make me like the book more, but gave me a frame for dealing with it.
