ゆっくりおやすみ、樹の下で

Boring

This was my first DNF in Japanese. I decided to stop reading it because I wasn't really enjoying the story and I found the writing/grammar/vocabulary very easy in terms of the Japanese used.

Yes, it was nice to read something so easy (I maybe looked up a word every 10 pages), but that made me criticize the story more.

Personally, I prefer more exciting stories. While this contained some nice life lessons and I liked the narrator (and the cover), it was also very slice of life-oriented rather than fantasy-oriented.

I finally decided that even though I'd made it 159 pages in (and bought the book physically) I didn't want to force myself to read the rest. 2 stars.

TLDR: If you're at a lower level of Japanese, I might recommend this as a first book since it's not too challenging Japanese-wise, but I found it too slice of life for my tastes to be very entertaining.
