I was interested in the world being built. The storytelling format I think was supposed to be clever and felt that way at first. However by the end the book just dragged on, the footnote annotations became less useful, and ultimately there didn’t seem to be a point. 

After reading it, I discovered it’s a book set in the world of a podcast the authors also write together. Maybe there are seasons of the podcast I’d enjoy seeing as how the world itself seems interesting.
