Description

This is the story of a glass window that gets installed on the façade of a train station.

It's nothing serious, after all it spends most of the time just windowing there as people pass by and live their lives.

    Style: Exceeding short chapters and no dialogue but the main character is a window, so hey-ho.
    Story: Not much happens but it is a very slice-of-life styled story, so that's fine.
    Grammar: Good. Only one or two sentences that read a bit strangely.
    Character: I enjoy the main character's thinking and growing knowledge but it is the only character.
    All in all, a fun, but quick read.

    Was a fun 20 minute read (16 chapters at the time of review). It's funny to see the window talk about very dark and sad aspects of life in such a laid back, innocent tone. It kinda gives me vibes of that web novel about a guy getting reincarnated as a vending machine.
    Style: The writing style fits the lightheartedness of the story, but it'd be nice if the chapters were a little longer.
    Story: Due to the protagonist being a window, there isn't really much of a story, but interested to see if the plot will develop in the future
    Grammar: seems fine to me, but hey I'm dyslexic so there's a good chance I missed some stuff
    Character: rated 2.5 purely because there aren't really any characters besides the window.
    If stuff changes in future chapters changes things, I may update the review if I get round to it. I

    Setting aside questions of how a window is able to comprehend and put various aspects of life together, this is a bit bleak. The window's perspective sees everything public indecency to crimes and heartbreak. The many more common and happier moments are not discussed. The story is good, but this little window into its perspective is bleak and the ending is good. This is something to spend a few minutes reading if it holds your interest, if not for its originality all on its own.
