Mostly because nothing happens, but also because it’s completely unrealistic so it was hard to suspend belief (I’m originally from Russia). In real life, he would’ve surely been executed, or at best sent to a labor camp which essentially amounted to the same thing.
I found the main character of Gentleman so persnickety and irritating. I tried 3 times (!) and got to page 200 on the last time through, and finally gave up.
