I read all 30 chapters, today.
Not bad.
A good story with a clear plot; mediocre writing, but definitely brought forward some real emotions with his family interactions.
The title knows what it is, and doesn't overstay its welcome.
The story ends in the right place, and we are free to continue the "adventures" (such as they are) of the MC and Villagers in our own imagination, without having the author dive into specific stories or muck about with any of Japan's societal hangups.
A totally great short story.
Thanks for all the work translating this, Stella!
