dark funny lighthearted mysterious reflective relaxing fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? N/A
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Perfection!
The elements of an unreliable narrator but
it’s actually the author??
 
Osamu Dazai is a genius. 
Thos also reads so well so if you’re looking to get out of a reading slump, grab this one. 
-0.5 because I wasn’t so invested into the chracters’ lore as the author assumed the reader is.
