It's not to say I didn't like it, but I expected the main character to be researching how to kill an entire planet, figuring out who put him up to it, etc.

I expected Grim-dark Harry Potter bullshit, and I got a suprisingly enjoyable Cold-War-esque story, even if the metaphor was hamfisted.

>>1125629

If you analyzed the pictures you could see that the "what I got" is a really ugly, pedestrian, run-down picture of unremarkable geisha living dreary lives, and presented in an boring way. Same goes for the book. It was unnecessarily realist to the point that I would have been more entertained reading a sewing machine assembly manual.
