Is this the first Murakami book you've read? It's a very different writing style so if you're looking for a clear, straightforward storyline it might not be for you.

tbh i don’t mind the way it’s written, i actually enjoy it but the storyline so far doesn’t seem so interesting to me, that’s why i was wondering if it’s worth my time

By style I was more referring to the fact that Murakami stories aren't about the storyline. Murakami is about the moods and emotions his characters are feeling. If you're only reading for the story you've chosen the wrong author.

Just don't start 1Q84 and you should be fine 😂
