No Longer Human lived up to my expectations. The existential crisis was well done and I loved how the story was linear. The timeline felt much longer than it truly was. I imagined him as 50 or later during the end and it turned out that was was just 27. The only unenjoyable thing was the blatant misogyny, but I understand that it was simply part of the character/author since it is semi-autobiographical.
