I am giving up this novel at 78th chapter. Many reviews here are saying that this is comedy gold but it is just pure pathetic. It is forced vulgarity (which is a bit fresh after many of the other novels here). Some parts are indeed funny but many are not. Another issue is the translation quality, or rather the editor quality, which just plain sucks. You do not know whether someone is thinking in his mind or actually saying bullshit. The tenses are all messed up but it is fine since it is still understandable and does not require active effort (it still hurts). It is long. Each chapter is long and tedious to read. Useless explanations and whatnot repeated over and over and completely irrational conversations are common. There are other aspects that are good (no doubt) but these drawbacks are enough for me to give up.
