I watched the anime maybe about 10 years ago and finished it in 2020 as the finale came out. Reading this light novel now, I gotta say I think I liked, at least the first season, better when I was younger. I thought the dialogues were rather cringe as I read through the book, but then I noticed that it is supposed to be like that. After noticing that, I began to recognize pieces of Hachiman that I had been able to relate with my younger self, and to a certain degree to the current me. There I realized that Hachiman has grown up by the time he reached the season finale of the anime that I watched, and fact is (prolly) so have I. In the end, it contributes to my awe for Wataru-sensei with how well he has developed the character of Hachiman and really all of his other characters and that makes me excited to enjoy this journey that I've witnessed through rewatch countless times once again, this time through lens of literature.
The dialogues are just crazy in this book, love them so much!
"Youth really is false, fraudulent, and fictitious nonsense."
"Unfortunately, school is actually a place where you're trained to conform to society. Once you go out into the world, your opinion means nothing. Get used to compulsion now."
"Classic Hikigaya. Many young people have a distorted worldview, but you take it to a pathological level."
"Frankly, I think that smile was foul play. Foul play on the level of Mardona's Hand of God."
"You can't call yourself lonely. Everyone loves you. You're a disgrace to real loners."
"People who don't put in the minimum amount of effort have no right to be jealous of people with talent. Those who fail do so only because they cannot imagine the effort it takes to be successful at achieving their goals."
"I apologize for failing to notice that you were talking. I'm unfamiliar with the particulars of your ecosytem, so I mistook it for the howling threats of an ape."
"Even if it's twisted, childish, or wrong, if you can commit to it, it has to be right. If having someone deny your ability is enough to make you change, then it isn't your dream, and it isn't you. That was why Zaimokura was fine the way he was. Aside from the creepy parts."
"Life is bitter, so coffee at least should be sweet,"
"A friendship where you're always trying to be considerate of the other person, always worrying about what they think, always responding to every single text, always seeking their approval and then finally connecting with them, isn't friendship at all."
"Her neck turned around so jerkily, you could almost hear it creak. It was so unnatural, I wanted to tell her to put some WD-40 on it."
"Did you know? I may spit venom and abuse, but I've never once spat out a lie."
Tried to keep the quotes to a minimum, but failed miserably...
