it’s a very (understandably) charming story that despite going on for so long doesn’t feel particularly dragged out. It has a good balance of lightheartedness as well as serious themes. I wish there would be more attention given to an actual overarching plot, as it focuses so heavily on the characters that every new chapter becomes increasingly predictable. Not that I want it to end, but it feels like there is no end in sight, which gives it a very open-ended vibe that is starting to get frustrating. I’d love to see some major conflict resolution that moves the story forward in a significant way. Although, despite all criticisms, I’m still confident in saying that it’s really good. Funny without trying too hard, emotionally moving when it wants to be, and overall an enjoyable read
