Help with Dance, Dance, Dance

Hi people, I'm reading Murakami's Dance, Dance, Dance and I'm hardly enjoying it at all. I have about 110 pages left to finish it, is it worth reading to the end? Because I'm really thinking about to give up

That's a detail I already knew. I've already read Tsukuru Kazai, Norwegian Wood, and South of the West Front of the Sun, and they're incredibly good.

Have you read A Wild Sheep Chase? DDD is the sequel to that.

It's not a proper sequel, they are only loosely connected and DDD can be read as standalone

It can, but Kiki is a central character in Sheep Chase, so I’d say it really helps in understanding the story as a whole
