It's become more interesting as a notch on everyone's belt than an actual book. It does some novel things linguistically and typographically but to even suggest it makes a serious attempt at being a love story is pretty far-fetched. The discussion around it really annoys me, it only has worth on a technical level but everyone wants to talk about how amazing the story was. It's okay.

It's fun ergodic pulp. Any literary value comes from its Borgesian ties. The story itself is so-so.
Was the House real though

Remember in 2010 when it was the biggest meme next to Ayn Rand posting? Good times.

A sublime meditation on the fractured world we inhabit. Danielewski may be the truest auteur in the modern literary world, reflecting each and every part of his delightfully twisted psych into the pages of his magnum opus. His prose rivals Nabokov's; Borges would look upon his distillation of time's fragile nature with approval. This is not only a marvelous work of literature, but establishes the author as a serious contender for the voice of our woefully misguided generation.

It's not a book you read for plot. As you said it's ergodic literature, pity that the "muh genre fiction" retards can't see beyond the tags it has on Amazon or whatever.

This is the only time I've given an audible laugh from reading something in this domain.

I don't know anything about that book, but the anime called House of Five Leaves is pretty damn good.
It was the book that first brought Derrida to my attention. 6/10 would read again.
Sort of like a buffet were you had to pick out what you like and pass over the stuff you didn't. What I did put on my plate I liked, though, which was mainly the part about wandering through the house, the giant staircase, etc.

If you read the last scene you'd know how poignant this comment is
really bad. I read it as a LSD and MDMA abusing hippie teenager and hated Johnny's sections and didn't finish it. I read it again as a 23 year old to see if I still hated it and I felt the same way. He's just a shit character, and non of the 2pomo4u whacko bullshit with Zampano and his mom is interesting whatsoever. Honestly I wish I had stopped reading after The Navidson Record had concluded like my gut instinct told me. The creepypasta at the core of the book is legitimately good horror, the book as a whole and everything involving Johnny after he loses his job fucking sucks.
