I'm so glad you brought up "that douche Genji" because I'm only on Chapter 5 right now and I'm already saying to myself, "Can Genji be any more of a dog?"Sumire_hitsugi wrote:Yeah, I second that the Tale of Genji =
I get that it's supposed to be an epic tale, but it really should have been 1/3 of its 1100+ pages. And one too many "IDE/I can't" situations, mostly caused by that douche Genji.
I guess the author herself experienced men of his sort or saw other ladies going through that, so she definitely had a lot to draw on. I think the author is pretty perceptive of men-women interactions.
I don't think it's boring, haha. I would take it with me to classes and stuff... if it wasn't a brick.
