Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
1.0

maybe I didn’t get it? But I disliked this one a lot. Like it gave me nothing? No emotions but a light note of anger.
Fair point is that you can interpret a lot of stuff onto our protagonist but that doesn’t do it for me. I enjoyed the descriptions of the convenience store but I did not understand the actions of any of the characters, the prose was also not that complex which can be seen as a stylistic device but that does not make it any better.
Sadly I conclude with 1.5 stars.
