"This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster. One of the monsters is me."
4.5/5 ⭐

A very great, fast-paced book!
I loved how it begins with a powerful introduction. It really captured my attention and curiosity.
It was beautifully written (or translated) that you can almost feel that you are also IN the story.
What I also liked about this book was the chapters. It was short but well-explained. I loved a book with shorter chapters yet you can still get the message it implied.
The friendship that surfaced between Yunjae and Gon is absolutely one of the highlight of this book.
You will learn something more about human emotions and how it can affect others around you.
Gon's character is so far my favorite. It has a unique transgression throughout the story.
It says a lot about how people create a mask to hide their real emotions and identity. That people can create a monster within ourselves and live with lies.
Overall, this book was great. The message was delivered greatly and the impact of it will forever stay in my heart.
Ps. I really love asian literature! Please suggest me more of this!!
