A review by royam
Whale by Cheon Myeong-kwan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.
Although I was interested in the main characters' development and interactions, I was constantly jolted out of my immersion in the story with how the women were written. There were unnecessary scenes of sexual assault and sexual harassment which didn't do anything to further the story. A constant theme in the book is how one of the main characters has a certain scent to her that drives men crazy. It doesn't add much to the story and that quality of hers is used to lead into her possibly being harassed for it.
