Treasure for Kansai-ben, Plot is OK
There's not a ton of "100% in Kansai-ben (narration & dialogue)" books, and even less of them have an (excellently narrated) audiobook (available on Audible JP or YouTube). So if you're learning Kansai-ben, I can't recommend this book highly enough. In terms of story, it started out really great, but then somewhere about halfway through just became a lot of boring back-and-forth drama, and I got burnt out.
The narration style is a diary-like first-person recounting of events... which makes it very simplistic, in that it's never particularly abstract or hard to understand. The only things that make it somewhat challenging are being 100% in Osaka-ben, and the author's lack of belief in line-breaks (I assume for style). So if you're used to differentiating speakers via line-breaks, that may be a challenge.
While I did read along to the audiobook, I think the L40 is probably a bit high. I was expecting a much higher proportion of antiquated kanji and spellings, and tougher grammar. At least, the edition I read (Amazon Kindle JP) was much easier in terms of kanji than 花物語 or even a modern work like 薬屋のひとりごと. Similarly in terms of grammar, I found it much more straightforward than 若草物語 or the little I read of 赤毛のアン. The audiobook is narrated at a rather fast pace though - so that presented a challenge for me, especially at the beginning.
The plot is pretty nuts, but around the 60% mark or so, it started to crawl, and I had to really push myself with the last 25% of the book.
