I love the idea, but I didn’t feel there was much of a purpose or even closure in any of the stories. The only character I liked was Kumi. I listened to the audio book then read certain parts in the physical copy because I was often confused who was who and what “clang-dong” meant. Maybe I should’ve read it, not listened to it, to absorb it better.
