I came to this book with expectations of what we've come to expect of multiverse media in the 2020s: space travel, universes with their own laws, the butterfly effect etc. However Tomihiko Morimi flat out didn't meet these expectations, in the best way. I guess that expecting less and enjoying the experience is my lesson learned.
It was rather profound to read a story where every decision didn't set the protagonist on an entirely different path, and to realise this at the same time he did was a joy. Did I like this character? Not one bit. But it was a nice change of pace that he was so consistent and made the same bad decisions as every version of himself.
This book makes me think of the saying "don't sweat the small stuff".
