if i am forced to concede its status as a YA novel, i must say that is a YA novel with a very delicate/sentimental atmosphere/aesthetics and towards the "eros", though admittedly i couldn't be bothered to finish it (i barely finish any of my books these days), though i thought Norwegian Wood was very good (and finished it)

I'm not a weeb and it's in my top 10-20 of all time range.

only if you are young and hormonal and feel a sense of wonder towards the world

it's not weeb shit though because murakami is a westaboo

I enjoyed most of it. The narrative mainly follows two characters, if you‘re unaware. One is Kafka, the other is a homeless man named Nakata. The Nakata parts are in my opinion more interesting. The Kafka story at some point leaves the realm of magical realism (think cien años de soledad) and goes full esoteric.

one of the least capable authors who gets popular approval on /lit/, displaying this boards pseud status.

It's good. Not his best work. I really liked the truck driver dude who hung out the old catbender. Also for some reason I vividly remember all the parts about driving the Miata. It was a pretty comfy read.
