My Thoughts on I Have Become an NPC at the Tower’s Used Bookstore
First Impressions
Okay, so the title, "I Have Become an NPC at the Tower’s Used Bookstore," definitely had me thinking this was going to be a lighthearted romp. I was picturing a comedic take on the tower trope, maybe some fourth-wall breaks and general silliness. But, I quickly realized that while the title isn't technically misleading, it sets a completely different expectation than what the story delivers.
What Works Well
The most striking thing about this novel is its atmosphere. The writing style is incredibly calm and peaceful, drawing you into the world and the characters' lives. It's a slow burn, definitely not something you'd pick up if you're looking for instant gratification. The author excels at creating a sense of mystery. Information is revealed gradually, almost like piecing together a puzzle. We're not spoon-fed explanations; instead, we're left to infer and connect the dots ourselves. This approach is particularly effective with the characters, who remain somewhat ambiguous, making them feel unique and intriguing. The personification of abstract concepts, common in "Tower" stories, is also a fascinating element.
Areas of Concern
The slow pace and the unreliable narration might not be for everyone. If you prefer clear-cut answers and a straightforward plot, you might find yourself frustrated. Also, be prepared to go in knowing that the comedic tone promised by the title is not fully realized. This novel is more character driven.
Final Verdict
Despite my initial surprise at the tonal shift, I found "I Have Become an NPC at the Tower’s Used Bookstore" to be a refreshing and captivating read. It’s a novel that prioritizes atmosphere, character development, and a slow-burn mystery over instant thrills. If you're looking for something different, something that will make you think and feel, then I highly recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared to adjust your expectations based on the title!
