Jujutsu Kaisen: Summer of Ashes Autumn of Dust Novel
by Ballad Kitaguni, Gege Akutami
DNF-
This is the first time I’ve ever dnf’d a book within a matter of pages, so it’s impressive for that alone.
So I really like Jujutsu Kaisen, and as such was pretty excited for this, but wow was the ball incredibly dropped. The writing feels really akin to fanfiction a few of my friends used to write in middle school, and the characterization felt incredibly off, like looking at the main cast though 15 sets of stained glass windows. Maybe it gets better, maybe some of this is just an issue with the official translation (I did notice a fun error in the small amount I read where Sukuna was called Suzuna) and a fan translation is more worthwhile, but I get the distinct vibe this isn’t worth my time (for others who feel the same, there are some fan translations of the radio shows on YouTube and a lot of those will work better as supplementary material)
