• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I still need to gather all my thoughts, because reading the final 40% of the novel was a total fever dream—like the narrative was both falling apart and desperately trying to hold itself together at the same time.

I don’t know how I feel, but I’m glad I read it. I could see a lot of narrative building blocks that formed Disco Elysium, not just in terms of setting and theme but in small scenes or character moments—though DE is a more cohesive experience.
