This is a brilliantly imaginative novel. Although it's not long, the story is told very well, with virtually no unnecessary details. I laughed when I read about the protagonist falling in love while coding and writing bugs. I cried when I read the chapter where the protagonist is reborn as a tree. The last line, "Perhaps this time it's a true rebirth," is absolutely brilliant! Only at the end did I realize that what I thought was a rebirth wasn't actually a rebirth at all.
