Next, more headless corpses appeared... What kind of secrets are hidden behind all this? This is a challenge open to all readers!
Reader comments
Very nice to look at. It's just that this setting in the work made me feel like I was watching a daily routine. So reading is very slow. But in terms of plot quality, I can definitely tell the team that this game is pretty good! I read it while thinking about it, so to be honest, this daily-oriented writing method may be because I don't read much. . . . My mind was completely spinning, and this was probably what the person who ended up translating and organizing this book called a "trick database search." I could only barely identify the correct murderer in the incident ten years later, but I couldn't figure out the motive and method. To put it bluntly, it is the phenomenon that the translator mentioned when he talked about "trajectory database retrieval", that is, readers are blind. Ah, what is happening with this person, so he must be the murderer! This kind of situation. . . . . . Well. I think I would recommend it to people who like mystery novels.
Does Shomu exist? Why the hell is Axegao crazy? Who was visiting that day? Who gave the police a razor? Who killed me in the end? Why couldn't she recognize it? While Teacher Sansan filled in the thirty-seven holes for us, he also didn't forget to open new ones [laughing]
I am commenting after reading Weird Jun's commentary at Station B. I can only say that The Uncrowned King, with its final reversal and reversal, is a masterpiece that I could read in one sitting.
What a masterpiece, why are so few people watching it? It's so shocking.
Nice! Don't give up reading just because the preamble is a bit long, read on! This book is no nonsense!
I have watched Shoumu and Yamama in this series. Personally, I think Shoumu is really good. It can be said that it is a straw snake and a gray line. There are too many details and it is so old-fashioned! The author's trick is actually a blind spot in the heart. I think there is nothing to argue with and it is completely possible to get it. In the process, I guessed a few but not completely. When you know the answer, you will say "Oh, it turns out that it is so reasonable!". I personally think the final explanation is perfect. The uncrowned king is a work worth reading.
The article twists and turns again at the end, and the way it is written in the first person, but not entirely in the first person, really makes people feel like they are reading a real case narrative in real life, rather than a novel. Who is the murderer in the end? This seems to still be a mystery. Through some ambiguous descriptions, people are still thinking and shocked after reading the novel. The constant substitution of identities is super interesting, and the death of the first-person character is the most amazing thing in this novel. Since the first-person character - the "novel writer" is killed, who will publish this novel? Is it possible that the person who killed the "writer" in the end was the murderer and he changed the "truth"? This is an open ending, so the truth may be the result of the last reasoning.
It's so awesome, I was stunned when it was reversed
After reading the whole text and checking in, I have to say that the beginning is a bit difficult, but reading this part carefully will lay the foundation for the rest. Later, the main text gradually gets better, and the ending is really exciting. There is a problem with the chapter division at the end, the references should be separated into separate chapters.
The foreshadowing before and after the reversal of the story is unparalleled. It is currently the grandest and most complex among the very limited novels of the same type that I have read. However, the logical foreshadowing is still very consistent and echoes. For me, there is only one shortcoming. Precisely because of the grandeur and complexity (three cases), there are particularly many detailed characters and plots, and the murderers are different. It is difficult for readers to grasp a large number of details and to infer the complete truth. It lacks a sense of immersion in reasoning and solving the case by oneself. However, I am not smart enough and my memory is not good enough. For many readers, this is not a shortcoming.
I rarely write book reviews, but this one really shocked and satisfied me. The last book that shocked me so much was "Astrology Killing Magic" (but the shock level was much weaker because the core trick was so famous)
First of all, it is the feeling of being immersed in the superstitious folk atmosphere of Japan's backward feudal families, which is very similar to "The Mystery of the Werewolf Village", which gives people an absurd and bizarre feeling. I personally like this taste very much, and the author's writing style is also very good, and the characters are three-dimensional;
The second is the author's narrative technique. This third-party magazine serialization format is really good and very confusing;
Finally, there is the core plot. The author hinted at a lot, but did not guess them all. The final twist was also surprising;
All in all, it is very appetizing. It is a book of literal reasoning that I love very much. Thank you to the author and translator. I will add a physical book later.
On the thirteenth night, the headless corpse of a woman who attended the ceremony for the concubine and the two murder cases of the longevity man and the headless corpse of the man in the wedding ceremony constituted multiple replacement conspiracies.
Originally, in order to allow the heir of the Ichishou family to avoid trouble, the male and female of the longevity man and the concubine were replaced at birth. When they participated in the ceremony on the 13th night and wanted to change back, the real male longevity man was killed, and the female longevity man had to continue to assume his identity.
At the wedding ceremony, Kouri Tsuki mistakenly killed the girl Choucho and then killed the boy Egawa Lanzi, mistook Jiangkawa Lanzi as the Choucho and the girl Choucho as Tsukiko, while he disguised himself as a woman disguised as a man, Ekawa Ranko, completing the dual identity replacement.
Finally, in the story of the work within the work, Tsukiko once again replaced the serial author Myomoto Takayashiki, leading the readers of the series to wrong reasoning, and was killed by the illegitimate son of the Ichimori family, Takashi Takakun, who replaced the detective Toushiro Enya.
Excellent, meticulous and imaginative reasoning👍🏻
I watched it for half a month, because I personally felt that the previous narrative part was not very brilliant. It originally introduced a relatively terrifying folk legend, but I didn't feel the slightest nervousness, but there were many details that I had to read. What is more impressive is the event analysis and revelation part. The plot design is rigorous and innovative. There are quite a few clever designs that take a few viewings to realize. For example, Axugao was knocked unconscious by Lanzi and gave him an alibi. In fact, Axigao also indirectly gave Lanzi an alibi. However, Axegao is always sleeping.
Coming here because of its reputation, the senses are, well, average.
Although I thought "huh?" Several times in my mind, I was just surprised about the triple answer because I had seen similar routines before. Some readers in the book have pain in their hands, feet, necks, etc. This should be classified as supernatural... In addition, the first answer is that the alibi is too crude (a bit like the arrogant readers mentioned in the book, well, I admit it, but I will tell the truth), other methods The first level is quite exciting, with many reversals, pure reasoning, stripping away the cocoons, and double substitutions; the second level of the answer gives me the feeling that imagination is greater than logic, which is a bit reluctant, but it can be regarded as solving the first level of contradiction; the third level, there is nothing to say about the third level.
Summary: Overall, it's a good work, but it didn't shock me.
So who died in the end, 6, was it Ax Gao who completed his revenge or?
The best one in the series!
There is folklore and reasoning. Through a work within a work, the first person is used with clever narrative tricks, and the final reversal is surprising.
But superstition is also real, and it is different from Kyogoku Natsuhiko's folk reasoning that breaks superstition.
The gray line of grass and snakes lies thousands of miles away! The author's ability to construct a story is so powerful! A small gesture or an inconspicuous conversation may be the key to solving the mystery!
It is common for traditional families that have been passed down for hundreds of years to serve as the background and location of stories. Many of Mr. Henggou Masashi's famous works have similar scenes.
The author's design of the plot is indeed exquisite, and in order to clarify or even mislead readers, the "notes and handouts" he made are also clear and logical.
What's even more amazing is the triple decryption at the end, with several twists and turns. It's like being on a roller coaster. It's really ups and downs!
The author's growth and psychological description of the characters are equally impressive!
I highly recommend this work by Mr. Mitsuda Shinzo!
Yeah, it's really beautiful and wonderful.
As this is my first time reading a folklore mystery novel, I have to say that it feels very good to understand the local customs while reading. The characters in the book are vivid, and some counter-thinking and common sense places are well foreshadowed. Especially the first paragraph of the opening chapter is a foreshadowing. After reading it, I feel that it is even more clever.
Even in the book, I saw that Shomu was actually... This explanation made me speechless after reading it. However, when I read it for the first time, it seemed to cover up this shortcoming. In short, it was very interesting and I read it in two days. My eyes are just a little tired haha.
It's such a cool character, the atmosphere and description all clicked for me.
I came here after watching Aguai's video. The previous part is a bit slow, but it's also quite interesting. I will continue to watch it.
Nice! Part of the plot was almost clearly stated in the original work, so it was easy to guess, but the twist at the end was unexpectedly exciting. I really like the feeling of seeing the reasoning behind it and starting to review the details.
This was supposed to be serialized in newspapers at first, so at the end of each chapter there is a follow-up revelation similar to "If you want to know what happened next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter", which slightly affects the perception. It's okay, but I don't understand it.
Changshou Lang is really the most innocent among them.
Good book, good book, forget it if you are deceived, and the connotation is interpreted haha. This book has a lot of narrative, so it is recommended to read it in the comments.
The overall story is very exciting, but I don't really read mystery novels, so when I read it as an ordinary novel, it was indeed very unexpected. The following explanation is suitable for people like me who read it as an ordinary novel. However, can male creators stop using large pages to write about peeing?
It is a work with a strong sense of atmosphere. Although I did some reasoning while watching it, it is still far from the truth. The first solution is the most shocking, and the treatment of the headless corpse is simply exquisite. Although the second and third solutions are also very good, they are not as precise as the first solution.
It's wonderful. The folklore and weird stories incorporated into the secret room murder make the case even more confusing to read. I'm really confused as to who the murderer is and how he did it. After reading this book, I have completely given up guessing and just want to read the decryption. [Laughing and crying]
Spoiler-proof
I think the murderer on Thirteen Nights had a high axe, and the murderer on Yuanshou Mountain was seeking a son. This explanation is more reasonable, otherwise the sound of falling into the water on Thirteen Nights and other bugs cannot be explained.
The story frame is so exciting, the multiple puzzles are the best among them all.
While reading this book, my right ankle kept hurting [I almost cried] maybe this is metaphysics.
The uncrowned king, so beautiful
Very good reasoning
On the one hand, everything can be explained by rigorous logical reasoning, but on the other hand, it leaves some small suspense or coincidences to retain the possibility of the existence of ghosts and gods. Is this also a dialectical thought... It is neither affirmative nor completely negative.
For readers, it makes sense to think that the gods that the villagers believe in are just superstitions. On the other hand, it also makes sense to think that the gods they believe in are not superstitions but real existences. Don't ask, asking is dialectics.
All in all, it's a great mystery novel that combines folklore and religion.
