This is a series of short stories which fluctuate from pessimistic to optimistic to charming to just puzzling. It wasn't really my style, but I didn't hate it.

As for language learning a few notes:

  • Sort of cheeky writing style with puns scattered around. ex, in a detective bug story the criminal is not 犯人 but 犯虫
  • A few characters here and there talk in non-standard dialects. Off the top of my head this includes a historical figure, a pissed off bug, and an elder cow.
  • There are a few passages that are written purposefully in a roundabout way. If you're familiar with hidden moral type stories in English you'll know what I mean.
