Anaide’s Reviews > The Tale of Genji > Status Update

Again? I was hoping for a consensual love affair, where the man brings her home as his second wife - Genji seemed to have place for an entire harem back in the day, but no... This is so infuriating, but I can´t stop reading on. I seem to be getting used to all the men forcing their attention on unsuspecting ladies.

Like I was really invested in Tamakazura bussiness and Genji´s is probably gonna get married and I always liked him better than I liked Genji (partly because I have a theory he is not really Genji´s and it fills me with joy). Am I invested? What is even happening?

Okay what is up with these romances? Like he likes a girl, presumably gets what he wants and then he sort cares for her and writes to her forever or at least until she dies? Why is everyobedy coming back all the time? Why nobody cares about him being so unfaithful?

Genji is a weirdo and there are too many woman to keep track of.

This is such a weird little book.
