I’m trying to find any redeemable qualities that make me feel better for the time I spent reading it. I could have put it down, but the raving reviews made me think that it would get better.
It didn’t.
I loathed it. With passion.

Yeah, you’re right about the footnotes. I read someone the other day saying they felt like Kuang was writing with an imaginary social justice scold hovering over her, and I think that’s about right. I find it odd that someone feels they have to say ‘racism — which is bad, by the way — exists in this society’. We know it’s bad! Even racists don’t like being called racist!
