My initial thought reading this was "this is コンビニ人間, but insane." - then I realized it's written by the same author.

Very straightforward writing style. Nothing tricky in terms of grammar and no unusual words I noticed.

As a note - it's listed as 15 pages on here and on BookMeter but using the Honto desktop app it's only 5 pages with me using the default font. This is a very quick read.

Thematically this is very typical of Murata. It’s the first thing of hers I’ve read in Japanese and I found the prose really straightforward with only a couple of new words. Definitely recommend giving it a go if you are a fan of her work!
