I found the journey of the protagonist heartwarming as he navigates a system full of nuances that he doesn’t understand, even as he yearns to but his mind is betraying him from the full spectrum of human emotions. I relate to his mental stumps and feeling developmentally behind.  A great easy read that can be thought provoking or wholesome or sad t times that I’d recommend for translated fiction.
