Reply to comment by Motoreducteur in Convenient Store Woman by Sayaka Murata by NotBorris

If you're autistic like me, the main character is very well developed and one of the most relatable characters in all of literature

Sure, she’s well built. But she experiences no development throughout the story. In the end, it’s all meaningless; the one time experience of someone who was already on track.

Also you being autistic has nothing to do with the book so not too sure of what you’re trying to convey.

Except for the part where she confronts her own relationship to the gender norms set upon her by friends, family and colleagues, tries to live up to them, albeit only on the surface, and then returning to her true nature after realizing her own agency.
