It’s very detailed. I could clearly see every scene written, but our protagonist suffers from Murakami Protagonist Syndrome in that they’re fake deep, kind of bland yet they get super hot girlfriends, and there’s a weird vaguely misogynistic tone. This isn’t a spoiler: in the first few pages we hear about our protagonist’s FWB relationship with an unnamed woman, who he later comments has died. This is never explained, never brought up again, nor is the relevancy of this scene ever explained.
