It's so strange that I really did not like this book when I started reading it. I feel like I resonate with it very deeply now. It's so melancholic and bland, but Watanabe keeps pushing on. It reminds of how I feel about my life sometimes. Sometimes life feels so sad and overwhelming, but you just keep moving. Not because you want to, you just have to.

I got a lot of reading done on the plane. I don't have much time to read anymore with the new job because I do so much overtime. I hope I get to finish this book before my new job makes me kill myself.

Anyways, I didn't like this book at first but I'm kind of falling into it. The author has a weird relationship with sex though, I think. But tbh who doesn't

The "I have constant sex all the time but it's meaningless and I hate life" trope is soooo washed up

I can hardly focus on reading, today has been such a terrible day. I hate Phinia. I hate Atkins and Pearce. I hate working. I hate Ed, and Elizabet, and that other one's name. I hate how they demand all my time, for one small issue it's the end of the world. I hate Chase, who doesn't seem to understand the urgency and keeps giving me the run around.

I did not know they had cicadas in Europe.
