However, the way the monologue is reported is indeed a little unique, I should say. There's simply too much of them for a 3rd-person narration style, and it keeps jumping from person to person which can make reading jarring sometimes. The writing can also be very curt at times, but that's my personal opinion though.

Well I occasionally found the POV tending to 1st person, like once in every 60 lines or so. Though yep, it's as you say, most of it is 3rd person.
Somehow I can't pinpoint the feeling, it sounds like a novice would write, or a bit cluttered thought process. I wasn't really the humanities/literature type and usually only read scholarly articles so I maybe a bit wrong. Besides, I don't read too many Japanese LNs in their raw form unless absolutely necessary.
