This, but unironically. Haughty superiority is the attitude you must take to all things in the entirety of the universe if you wish to communicate to people on an anime forum just how special and above it all you are, that you are quite simply of better and more refined stock than run-of-the-mill retards who actually enjoy living in this world.

You must always take pride in your misery, lest you realize that the misery is without value.

Its also a world so different to the west as to be alien, id say that alone makes it unique enough (say, compared to Tolstoy) to be worth it. Especially if you decide to take the mandarinpill.

How's the cultural translation, OP? I mean, is some stuff too difficult to understand for Westerners? I'm thinking like contemporary Chinese norms that will just go over my head? Or does it hold its own just as text?
Curious because this has been on my list for a while.

Sometimes you just need a fine work of slice of life. Not sure why everyone in this thread are losing their minds.
