you know, the nationalism propaganda in this novel is on the milder side. BUT, the mild admiration and the indirect propaganda makes the novel very very tough to enjoy. He keeepps mentioning the army and how good they are and like that fake harmony whenever a police or miltary or government is involved as if to stressssssssss upon how good these people are makes me pissed off. Like i get it that they are good, but u dont need to keep pointing it out. I would rather have the japan hating novels than the novels that sing fake praise of china.
