- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No

I liked reading this book I think... But I didn't really enjoy the book... Which is conflicting I know.
There were a lot of things where I wasn't sure if it was the way the book was intended to come across or if it was the translations fault.
There is a trans feminine character who does explicitly say they are transitioning and presents as fem but just gets referred to with he/him pronouns all the time and as a man in a dress so?? I don't really get what the writer was trying to do there because the character doesn't add anything else to the story.
Idk what a weird book.
