Scream (original Japanese Drama of the Same Name)

About This Novel
Recommended by Luo Xiang. The forty-year chronicle of a villainous girl has been called by netizens "the darkening of the despised Yoko" and "a more realistic version of "Everything Is Fine"". Suzuki Yoko died in the apartment where she lived alone. To be precise, Yoko Suzuki died a few months ago. Because when she was found, her body was not only eaten by the eleven cats in the house, but all the cats also starved to death. Suzuki Yoko is obviously the best example of "dying alone", but why did this woman end up in this situation? Where are her relatives, friends, and colleagues? What is the trajectory of her life? This book uses two relatively independent death incidents as clues to lead to three intertwined cases. It tells the story of the heroine Yoko's personal struggle in the era, and her step-by-step slide from mediocrity to the hopeless abyss. The story takes place in a Japanese city in 2014. The book is divided into three lines: the first line is the case of "middle-aged woman dying alone", starting from the discovery of the female body, describing the investigation process of policewoman Ayano, and gradually revealing the life of the heroine Yoko. The second line begins with the case of "Death of Non-Profit Organization Leader". Two seemingly unrelated cases gradually intersected, intertwining the truth. The third line narrates Yoko's life experience in the second person, starting from Yoko's childhood to the discovery of the female body, and delicately describes Yoko's growth and changes and the process of being swallowed up by society.

Review - Yoko Suzuki
"The self-pity of the talented is the elegy of the swan, and the collapse of the mediocre is the scream of the beast." She was born unloved by her mother because she was a girl. How important is a mother's affirmation to a child? Some people spend their entire lives being angry with their parents just for a word of affirmation. As for Yoko, she spent her whole life searching, to no avail. Her first humble experience was given by her mother herself. At a young age, she could only accept everything her mother said. She has a very rich life experience, her marriage failed, she has no children, her boss tricked her into cheating on her insurance, and she cheated on her heart. Under various blows from society, Yoko's spiritual support is in jeopardy. Everyone is searching for their roots and wondering what the meaning of their birth is, and Yoko is no exception. But maternal love seems to have put a question mark on Yoko. The mother's denial of the personality and value of her children directly caused Yoko's lack of self-confidence. This also caused her to be very jealous of Tangerine, who was born blessed despite being an outcast. It's not a mistake to be born. If everyone appears in this land, then their existence is reasonable. Don't deny yourself. Nothing is a foregone conclusion. --Yangzi, if possible, I hope it is the sunshine that calls you, not the abyss.
The growth history of the evil girl
It's very exciting to watch the whole process, and the super twist at the end is really exciting! The whole process is interspersed with the protagonist's perspective and the second-person perspective. The more you look back, the more frightening you feel when you think about it. It is really a great social mystery work!
Yoko is the female owner of the coffee shop, right?

Shocked
Wow, this is a great name. Silent misery, despair in hell. Yoko really doesn't have any opinions. She lets others make decisions for her, and every step makes a mistake. In such a situation, he did not commit suicide and finally woke up. Ox.
A masterpiece, it gives me goosebumps after reading it
I feel so sad after reading this
Yangzi is Yangzi, not Yang but dark. If you didn't always pursue the love of others, you might not be deceived and fall into the abyss. If your mother loved you, you might have your own independent thinking, not be easily fooled, and not be vain. . . Then you will really rely on your own abilities and independently own your own happiness step by step. How ironic. The author wrote it so well. If I have a daughter in the future, I will definitely let her read it.
Yoko-- No one is calling you anymore. You are no longer you, that person died for you, and her blessing became a tool for you to claim your life, maybe, maybe out of jealousy - a blessing that you never had.
Excellent work! Whether in terms of suspense or social aspects, it deserves high praise!
After going through so much, do you feel relieved now that you are doing this?
It's a bit interesting. The twist in the plot catches people off guard.

Luo Xiang recommends a masterpiece of socialist mystery: it is darker than "The Disliked Pine Nuts" and more painful than "Everything is Alright" - every seemingly voluntary fall is fueled by the times.
Recommendation index: 4 stars A masterpiece of suspense reasoning recommended by Luo Xiang. Netizens called it "the history of the despised Yoko's darkening". Investigating Yoko's life from a case of lonely death, it turns out that Japan also has patriarchal preference for boys, PUAs in the workplace, the killing of mature people by insurance companies, and the darkening after resources are exhausted... The final outcome is a big reversal... Every step is unexpected! Is Japan so corrupt? Economic downturn + aging society is terrible! Although Yoko seeks freedom from his filthy fate through crime, it is still better than "Disqualification in the World". China will grow old before it gets rich, so we must be even more wary of such a future. Think about it, to avoid such a tragic situation, we must first have a prosperous national destiny and stop the economic decline. Secondly, you still have to have various skills and abilities to make a living. Again, don't borrow money to spend, and control your vanity. The most important thing is not to find a man who is so incompetent and violent at home. I'm really worried about the post-00 generation! I can only pray for the prosperity of the country...
