This felt like the skeleton of a book that could've been amazing. It almost felt like the first draft so that one could get the idea of what was going to happen and how, before the author completely fleshes the story out. Now, obviously I don't know if this also had to do with the translation.
I just don't understand some of the writing choices, and the ending... I didn't mind the outcome but the way it was written and presented, was just... no.
