Reader comments
The plot is generally reversible, but the heroine is very cutewww, and the interaction between Biyue Ye and Ichijo is also very cute, which is quite suitable for relieving boredom.
This book is only suitable for serious fans of reasoning and new characters. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to experience the fun of the final reversal, but you will also find the truth absurd and perfunctory and difficult to accept.
Tell the story back. Ignoring those fancy statements, you can think of the final reveal as a false answer + a true answer. The fake solution is easy to find, and the abnormal behavior of the relevant characters is very conspicuous. The author did not stop there, and added a layer of real solution on this basis. In the process of reading, I discovered very early on that two characters behaved quite strangely. It turned out that one of them was indeed the murderer of the fake answer. The unreasonable behavior that was not fully explained in the fake answer was also answered in the real answer, so my personal reading experience was quite good.
What follows is heavy spoilers
Several murder cases in the first half, especially the second and third ones, I really had questions while reading: Why did the murderer want to create a secret room? This seems to be a secret room for the sake of a secret room. This point is explained in the true answer: This is a plot created by the curator as a third-rate mystery novel writer. As a third-rate novel writer, it is remarkable that he can come up with original tricks. The rationality of the overall plot is naturally not considered. Similarly, there is a false solution to the third case. The feasibility of creating a secret room is really low. This is also because the curator, who is a third-rate writer, can only come up with one good trick - the one in the second case. The third case that he came up with to make up the numbers is naturally very far-fetched.
I think this is a very clever way of writing. Through the true answer, it is revealed that everything before is just a script by a third-rate mystery writer to explain all the irrationality (including the secret room with no reason, the unfeasible method and the abrupt Blizzard Villa, etc.). When writing this part, the author in reality does not need to write about "Why did the murderer create the secret room" and other questions. This type of problem should be part of reasoning, and it is a part that is difficult to solve well, but the author uses clever super-reasoning to avoid them all.
This way of writing saves the author's brainpower and pen and ink, and it can be regarded as giving a barely reasonable answer to the unreasonableness, but it cannot dispel the suspicion that "the author uses super reasoning to perfunctory readers." The first time I see this kind of writing, it is fresh and interesting. I may still enjoy it the second or third time, but if I read it a few more times, I may just feel that the author is unwilling to design the details of the case as rationally and perfunctorily as possible. However, no matter how perfunctory the explanation is, it is better than "a secret room for the sake of a secret room" with no explanation at all, at least that's what I think.
Moreover, the author's writing style is very unique and the text is concise and clear, which made me immersed in the story at once. I think this book is not only suitable for people who like reasoning, but also for people who like to challenge their own thinking. I have recommended it to my friends and family and everyone found it interesting.
Not bad, not bad. There are many twists and turns. The clues of both shallow cases and deep cases are all cleverly integrated into the plot.
If you are a little confused or naive about the methods of the case, it is better to continue reading.
Bi Yue Ye's character creation is very three-dimensional, and the overall character image is also very good. She is smart and different from ordinary people. She is really a very charming character.
The writing technique is also very interesting, the flashback technique, the "real murderer", or Watson's perspective, but Watson is not the real Watson, so is the detective also a real detective?
This review contains minor spoilers:
Even if it is a reversal, I feel that it is closely related to the previous one. It is better to think that the first part is one case and the second part is another case. Bi Yueye plays a completely different role in the two cases.
At first, he thought that the owner of the hall, Kamizushima, was going to announce some subversive news, but he was killed when he turned around. Yuma thought that he could announce the cause of death of the hall owner based on the cause of death, but unknowingly, two more people died. The famous detective Yue Ye is reasoning about the case while stabilizing her military morale. Her reasoning process is very exciting. Just when I thought the truth was revealed, the author added another twist to make the murderer even more confusing. The whole book is amazing. The reasoning process and hypothetical scenes are described in detail. This is the first time I have read such a mystery novel with multiple reversals. It is a bit like a "game within a game". I also like the author's "Dark Hospital" and "Limited Time Hospital". The unique conspiracy settings and the revelation of the truth, and the process of being trapped in the game but trying to struggle fascinate me.
A masterpiece, a masterpiece. For mystery works, cases occur one after another and plot stories are promoted together. Following the perspective of the protagonist, the excitement and readability are much higher than the simple structure of dead person-investigation-dead person-investigation.
The structure is nested layer by layer, but every little point has a foreshadowing. I have always believed that when designing puzzles in mystery novels, the purpose of arranging clues is not to make readers unable to guess at all, but to give readers a vague sense of the mystery and the pleasure of sudden enlightenment when it is finally revealed. In this sense, the foreshadowing settings of many works with more sophisticated plots are too obscure for me, and they focus too much on increasing the difficulty, but the few words scattered throughout the book in this work are just right to read.
The last part is my crazy speech. It's so fun to consume CP, so twisted, so tense, so interesting, and so enjoyable. Personally speaking, the related shaping and identity transformation of these two characters are also a big plus. For those who have a little exposure to other mystery works mentioned in this work, it has a different flavor.
Full marks without a doubt!
This is my first time reading a mystery novel, and I personally think the author writes it very well (of course, if you don't think so, you can just pretend I didn't say so, after all, I have never been exposed to this type of work before)
The murderer is revealed at the beginning of the novel. At first, he thought Yuma was the murderer of Kozushima. Even he thought so, but the further he looked, the more he felt that the murderer was someone else. When he first saw the restaurant, he felt that Kakami was the real murderer. Later, after Tsukiye's reasoning, it turned out that the stage of the novel was created by Kozushima from beginning to end. But as Yuma was imprisoned in the viewing room, things became confusing again, until Yuma told everyone the truth about these things in the game room. Biyue Ye killed her parents in order to see a famous detective and faked the secret room murder, but she did not see it, so she wanted to personally give birth to a famous detective, play the role of the murderer, and then attend the case as a famous detective, and constantly look for a famous detective who is willing to jump into the Reichenbach Falls with her. The character is very charming.
I wish the "famous murderer" Ms. Biyueye can find Sherlock Holmes who is willing to jump into the Reichenbach Falls with you. May your journey be accompanied by luck.
I also wish Mr. Ichijo Yuma and his sister a bright future.
Looking for clues in fear and confusion, approaching the truth in excitement and obsession, violence and elegance coexisting, rationality and madness fighting, I am really going to be obsessed with mystery novels
Madam, madam, madam, madam, madam, madam, it's so beautiful and great😭I'm going to cry😭Will the male and female protagonists meet again in the end? ! ! ! ! ! Defeat countless romances! ! ! The reasoning is also very well written and I highly recommend reading it. There are so many twists and turns! ! !
Although there is a part of the text that expresses love for Ayatsuji Yukito, the author should not be too fond of it, or it feels like a literature review (?) Of the original mystery novel, so you can skip it at a glance. At first I found out that the murderer's motive was a little far-fetched, but in the end I understood it when I analyzed my growth experience and mental journey (is this right? Isn't this right? There are a lot of foreshadowings, and the recycling is pretty good. The first half felt a bit boring, but I personally like the second half. It's worth watching! [Blow kiss]
Yes, an excellent work, the classic mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole comes behind again, the big situation is within the small situation, the big situation is within the big situation, multiple reversals
I read the physical book during the summer vacation and found it quite interesting [like]
The ending was really good and all my previous thoughts were explained.
I was still thinking before why the blood of Yue Ye's parents spilled out from the crack in the door. The blood should dry faster, and the door should be farther away from the bed. Seeing that everything was explained in the ending, I felt that that paragraph was the flaw that Yue Ye sold to the male protagonist.
When finals week is over, I'll come back for a second refresher!
I would give it a 7 out of 10. The characterization is weak, and the clues inserted into the description and dialogue of the novel are not natural enough. However, the answers are more clever. The unique style of the interaction between the male and female protagonists in the final chapter overwhelms the negative impact of the awkward chat in the previous chapter. Overall, it is a better book to experience after reading it than not.
This heaven-defying motive, all that nonsense is totally useless [laughing and crying]
Ahhhhh, a very good mystery novel
As you read later, you will find that they are all closed-loop settings.
Finally, I wish Ichijo-kun and his sister a bright future.
Miss murderer, please continue to be free and easy.
The novel unfolds in a typical "Blizzard Villa" mode. The story takes place in an isolated glass tower. As an avalanche cuts off transportation and communication, secret room murders occur one after another in the tower.
The style has a sense of déjà vu in the movie version of "Detective Conan", "The Murderer" and "The Detective"
It is a very, very beautiful mystery novel. It was my first enlightenment book. The murderer has told you at the beginning, but with constant reversals, reversals and reversals, you know that the murderer thinks he is the murderer, but in fact he is not the murderer.
The person least likely to be the murderer turns out to be the real murderer.
Neither the person you thought was the deceased nor the murder you thought was just a homicide.
Game within game within game... I guessed a little bit but not all of them. It's very suitable for repeated reading.
I can only rely on the page numbers to know that the ending is not that simple.
This book is really very good-looking. There are many twists and turns in the back, which really surprised me [already planted][already planted][already planted]
My moonlit night ah ah ah
I read it in one sitting. It's a really interesting book.
Nice! Readers, please be patient, it will get more exciting as you go!
Good, good, good, good
Reversal is indeed possible
Very unique, the ending is unexpected
The structure is quite interesting
Reversal, reversal, reversal
I really like the content inside
Shocking reversal! I thought it was just an ordinary case
