I feel like this had a lot of potential that was mostly unexplored. The act of cannibalism in literature has a long and interesting history, but I feel like the writing didn't really make the most of it, as it didn't lean on it enough to make me feel anything about it besides mild disgust. All in all the novel explores themes that are recurrent in contemporary Korean lit, mostly related to the working classes' struggle against a relentless, capitalistic society. It's not a bad novella by any means, but it doesn't really go deep enough to leave a mark for me.

The amount of discourse this will generate among anime-onlys is going to break the world.

From the provocative and challenging to the emotional and quiet, Japanese literary fiction tends to be nuanced, introspective, and minimalistic. These books contain layered cultural commentary and may lean on psychological, surreal, or fantastical elements to convey their message.
