If you like the Catcher in the Rye, you might also like this one too. Both of them share the same sentiment: a deep hatred for pretentious people and some extra loathing for the world. However, this one is a bit more personal, as it's more family oriented lol.
That, combined with the fact that the FMC has a good sense of humour, surely lightens up the mood.
Also side note, it's not gory or anything, so don't worry about that.
On the cons now, there was a bit of excessive inner monologue at times which made it feel super long at times and it wasn't as articulate as someone would expect from reading about a person who "unalives" other people.
Overall, it felt a bit mediocre.
