I liked it a lot, though I read it at an age when it was most relatable and emotionally potent. I've got an edition in Japanese on my book shelf, which I aim to read one day.

I didn't care for Sputnik Sweetheart. With the exception of the MILF, the characters didn't really seem to behave like people to me, which made it difficult to immerse.

Around 2018 there appeared a figure unaffectionately known as "guenonfag". Now guenonfag wasn't your average anon: he was mexican. But more importantly, he was severely autistic. In fact, it is difficult to understate his autism. Everyday he would create 10 threads about guenon. He would bump them all day, replying to himself and faking conversations, making every image edit imaginable, faking a rivalry with Whitehead and accelerationists, and spouting the great ESLism "retroactively refuted" to mean an argument by a past thinker that refutes a future one (yes, the exact opposite of retroactive). During this time, /lit/ had almost zero moderation so he would never get banned. After 2 years of this spam he stopped posting. This was around the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, where it is theorized that he caught the virus and died.
