I found this so hard to take seriously for the first 30 chapters ngl because everyone was soool dramatic. I can hear words I read in my head (as I expect everyone can?) and reading those words were just comedic. Like bro really got divorced over a cake? His wife was frustrated by the fact he couldn’t taste?? Now, I know his lack of taste is mostly an allegory for his inability to feel and accurately express emotion. But they really only wrote to this after the 30 chapters. Before that it was all about his lack of taste. And when he was talking about the fact he can’t taste and he said “IM ALREADY BROKEN!” I was trying not to laugh so hard because that is just funny. My mum is actually taste blind. She has a significantly impacted sense of smell and taste meaning she can’t smell or taste most things unless they are really strong. Still….most people don’t even notice. And she doesn’t really give af. Interestingly she makes great food. It’s probs because even if you can’t taste you can still feel the sensations of salt and spice and sweet on your tongue.
