Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

Meh.

Throughout all of this, it was meh. It was trying to be profound but failed, but it was somewhat close. The whole thing about the two main characters (Keiko and the weirdo) being different and thus expelled or ridiculed by society was somewhat touching and profound, but it really just missed a touch of…connection? It all felt rambled and scrambled

I HATE HATE HAAATED the conclusion. What the hell kind of ending was that? No concrete “bang” (dont say Keiko returning back to the supermarket mindset was good). The ending was just bad!!!
