the books did have a plot, but each one was spilt into short stories/novellas that focused on different characters, separated by timeskips. in fact the first book is made of five short stories which would’ve each made for 45-60 minutes of TV.
I would have preferred a truer adaptation, with each story being an episode or two. I think they assumed people wouldn’t be invested with constantly changing characters.
