I read it on Manta. it cost a shit load to buy all the chapters, though, but there are some free versions online if you just look up the title and then "free download" (think there's one on Scribd). i paid for the version on Manta because it had the official (and best) translation out of all of them.

well... i finally finished the novel. it was enjoyable in the way watching a problematic soap opera of insanity is enjoyable (where you turn off your wokeness and just consume it for what it is). i did have a lot of fun with it, though, so id say it was worth the read for me. actually pretty entertaining. had some surprisingly great moments, too, all things considered.
also, some of the spoilers here are kind of exaggerated lmao so take what people are saying with a grain of salt (especially if they havent read the novel themselves)
