The concept was interesting, but the story wasn't what I expected. I wanted to know more about what happened
after things disappeared from the world. The book made it seem like everything had continued as normal.
I get that it wasn't the point of the book, but not addressing it at all was a bit disappointing. I also felt the writing style was a bit simple. A minor nitpick was having American brands in a Japanese story, although this might've been the translator's fault.
