Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
4.0

a quick short story about a woman who works at a convince store all her life and doesn’t understand social cues. She thrives in the strict daily schedule of the convenience store but is ridiculed by society for “not going anywhere with her life”.

Touches on many points regarding roles in society specifically gender roles and how as a society we should judge people less for their choices in life.

there was also a creepy male freeloading character
