3.0

Incredibly well written. However, the constant misogyny and self-awareness of this fact as well as the main character's HUGE amounts of self-pity was such a turn-off. I understand that a lot of the reason Yunior is the way he is could be contributed to his environment growing up, but the constant male infidelity and self-blame without doing much to alter his behavior felt tiring to me.
