Good, and incredible for my japanese learning experience!
I enjoyed it! It's not a genre I normally read and the story is pretty simple at some points, but it was still very interesting and there are things to think about, so it definitely doesn't give me any "children's book" vibes at all, so it was a breath of fresh air compared to what else I had read in Japanese. I do think it would still be relatively enjoyable without the language learning goal, so it's not like that was purely carrying it.
I found that the vocabulary in general was relatively easy and didn't have many issues with the grammar either. I did study some vocabulary in advance / while reading the book, to make it easier. I started at around 80% coverage and had a coverage of about 95% when I finished reading it.
I would absolutely recommend this to others - it was the first book I read in Japanese and I felt an improvement in my reading and vocabulary by leaps and bounds as I was reading this.
