A Magical Girl Retires by Park Seolyeon

2.5

this was full of really good ideas like talking about climate change, violence against women (in SK), failing justice system, struggles of the working class... but the execution was frankly terrible. the translator's note is what helped me realize what this book was trying to do. the writing and voice of the narrator was too YA, even though she's a 29 y/o. the "villain" started talking in comical tones after saying she's a victim of DV. it was all over the place and I felt mostly nothing.
