I do not think this is a bad story, I just think I am not invested truly in what is being told. And I’ve found for me personally I do struggle connecting with Asian folklore, maybe there’s a lack of understanding or description or history given but I always have this issue. All I know about this story is there a girl who eats men and a boy, an angry mom and a bead. Nothing else has truly penetrated my brain and life is too short to read stories that are not keeping you engaged.

I’m sure someone else will loooove this story but it’s not for me.
