The protagonist thinks he is smarter than everybody else and patronizes everyone. Every other character has no personality, they are just names. Sometimes, the protagonist would bring up some "original" idea and explain everybody about it and everyone treats him as such a "non-conforming" person but these ideas are just obviously ripped off from international books. This is my first Tar Yar Min Wai's book. I will try other ones though. But, this one is just mediocre in my opinion. If you are just starting to read books, it would be fine. But, if not, I won't recommend. I love the title though.
