@alyx I like him, but I get why he's divisive. I think I connected with him because of how egg-me experienced himself and emotions. I always felt kind of detached, and he likes emotionally numb and passive male protagonists who wander through dreamlike narratives.

It was reading A Wild Sheep's Chase that I actually found myself suddenly getting really mad. I realized I saw how strange the main character's emotional responses were, and realizing they were mine, and that I was leading a life and feeling feelings like his and not like characters I admired more. But what could I do? My body was my body and my feelings were my feelings. Little did I know.
