I originally read this back in late 2023 and I gave it a 7. Admittedly, I rushed through it due to being rather busy and didn't think it was this masterpiece that so many claim it to be.
Now, after finally rereading it, I will say that I still don't think it's a masterpiece, but it's definitely more of a high 8 than a 7. Really liked the overall plot a lot more this time around and the writing, which I think is partially due to me finding a better scan online. I will definitely be checking out this author's other works soon, probably Biscuit Hammer first because it appeals to me more.
