I FINALLY FINISHED THE BOOK. After 3 tries and 2 years lol.
It was going to be a solid 4 but the ending brought it down for everything being a minor inconvenience and miracles everywhere, everything was solved in like 2 pages. And I feel like that whole gang storyline is very overdone. Is got cliche and a little cringe at the end. I’m disappointed in the end. I feel like it could’ve been emotional but I was already checked out.
The first 2/3 was really great, a very fresh subject matter and plot and I liked the writing. I finally saw a coming of age story as a coming of age story. It was nice to see Yunjae develop relationships with everyone.
