How did reading No Longer Human make you feel? After I read it I felt that I wanted to live a life like Yozo.

How does this work or Dazai perhaps in general compare to Mishima, or Soseki?
>>12324916
I finished it this morning, after starting it yesterday.
I don't want to say I was disappointed but it did not have such a great impact on me as I was worried it might by how /lit/ treats it and I definetly did not build it up too much in my head, since other works I looked forward to reading a lot more actually did hold true and had an even greater influence on me than I could have imagined previously.
Any Dialogue in the novel was subpar, I am glad he so rarely employed it.

This.
But that difference doesnt have to make it bad. Most of Dostoyevski's protagonists are chads but consistently hold true to their pathetic, weak nature usually; Yozo didn't feel like that at all, and balancing that weakness solely on the inability of the character to say "no" to an offer seems insufficient. I know this was to hold true to the nature of his "not being human" and therefore, like the bull never to be able to kill the horsefly, - though he admitted that all his sorrows stem from his own decisions, even if not out of violition - being inept to this human ability, it still went far too well for Yozo in his life. Then considering his great incapability to impede action he was too abt on the other hand at taking action.
Maybe there is something that I haven't properly considered about Yozo's pleasure he derived out of following orders, or if I take the definition of his "no longer human" to literaly and not consitently true with the character, though that would go against the very nature of the protagonists and the point of this book.
Idk man, was decent but wouldn't myke my top 50 list msot likely.

No Longer Human is typical '''''depressed'''' normie bullshit. Are there any books that truly embody the /r9k/ spirit?
