Strong character development:
Complicated

No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Convoluted and unexpected. This is what happens when an author shamelessly inserts themselves into their writing. Mindlessly shouts into the void about bureaucracy, women, and life while praising the manly, Macguyver-esque nature of the main character, Hanio. It was reasonably fun. The description of Hanio crying in the last 3 sentences was empathetic. But not worth so much discussion of suicide for my tastes. Like Taxi Driver without the point and death of the author. Better pulp has been written.
