Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
3.5
I liked this well enough. Though I will say as someone who is currently struggling with feeling like they're not doing enough within society, I liked the overall message that it's okay to have a basic job and daily routine that you enjoy. And it's okay to simply be content with that.

Same issues as the fifth omnibus.
My roommate spoiled the rest of the story (per my request) and I've decided that the ending is shit and I don't want to finish the series.

The writing style is repetitive and the story is kind of boring at this point. Honestly this far into the series and there's not a lot happening, so much so that I'm just skimming the pages and looking at the drawings. 😓😮💨

I enjoyed it. However and the repetition and writing style, while very reminiscent of the early 200s also isn't great objectively speaking. The character of Daisy also wasn't super consistent.

I like the writing style it's very reminiscent of Slewfoot and The Book of Lost Things, but I find the repetition and lack of anything happening to be quite dull and boring. I wanted so desperately to like this book because it seemed like it would be exactly what I like but sadly that is not the case it seems. I am disappointed.
