Man, that was on weak and disappointing book 3.
Still, I don't get the hate

I'm not American though.
But have it your way, let's move aside from the (nonexistent) plot for a moment. Prose? Nothing to write home about. And don't get me started on the characters, Tengo the boring asshole and pederast and Aomame the feminist ninja, give me a break.
To put the icing on the cake, the last 300 pages are the two blandest characters in the history of fiction doing fuck all while waiting for each other in two apartments within walking fucking distance, while Gary Stu Ex Military Badass and Ultra Rich Old Lady solve all their problems for them.
I don't get the hype, it was bland and boring when not outright obnoxious.

But yes, I opened saying book 3 was a letdown, you are just agreeing with me.

It's not like the first two were masterpieces either.
I mean, why even introduce the parallel universe stuff if you're not doing anything meaningful with it? The whole thing could have taken place in one world without any difference whatsoever.
It was a stupid gimmick.
Even the japs hate it.
Top 5 reviews are all 1 star.

They just racis because he mentions western culture every 3 pages
As if there's a better murakami book out there.
