He was too beautiful for this world?
People like OP didn't want to be his friend and appreciate him for who he was.
Typical white middle class suburban kid.
Ungrateful little bitch.

Why does anyone like this novel?
I liked it and I can't even begin to justify why I did. I felt like Dazai had pulled me into an abusive relationship with him as I was reading it.
The Setting Sun is way better. I don't understand why No Longer Human is his most praised work.

It's just his most representative work. Dazai intentionally refused to separate himself from his work. No Longer Human allows you the most accessible summation of him as an author.

I was unable to suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy this "tragic" protag wallowing in the pits of his despair. At least Dostoyevsky explored the psychological aspects of his mentally ill characters, and wasn't THAT contrived. Cucking retarded desu
