Two of the things I really like about this novel are that things are not ridiculously drawn out over zillions of chapters and that there are mysteries to unfold that don't seem like they are going to be ridiculously drawn out over zillions of chapters. The standard repetitive abuse from relatives and schoolmates, check, but although she mostly ignores them, she has already taken some actions instead of bearing it passivly for more than 100 chapters. I might be over sensitive to this as I'm 1100 chapters in on a novel and the family still hasn't had even a medium blow, just little passive faceslaps. I can't stop reading it, but the pace is killing me. So, the simplicity and straightforwardness here are appealing.
