[Live-action scripted killing + simulated killing + secret room killing, blizzard villa + real-life reasoning + brain-burning + suspense] "This mystery novel is amazing!" Award-winning author Yushi Takano subverts your common sense of reasoning. When the mystery novel becomes a murder script, a murder reasoning game carefully planned by a "detective", an extreme self-rescue operation in which the victim escapes hunting, to which page can you go to find out the truth?
Sato, a young man who lived on a daily salary, got a strange job. He was taken to the "Kiwakan", a slanted bungalow standing on an isolated island, and he could get generous rewards as long as he stayed there for three days. However, the mysterious note, the secret room where the murderer could not be found, the connection with the outside world was cut off... A series of strange events similar to classic suspense novels happened one after another.
Sato has to work hard to solve the puzzle in order to save his life. And when he knew that this was an immersive reasoning game for the "detective" - but all the murders were real, he suddenly realized that he must race against time to find the "detective" and end this hunting operation! But unexpectedly, the plot has already changed, and accidents happen one after another...
Reader comments
The final twist and climax sequence is breathtaking. When Sato tried to resist the script, he felt a sense of oppression that was against the entire system. This is not a simple puzzle, but a life-and-death battle for survival. The rhythm is controlled just right, making your heart beat faster and making you unable to put down the scroll.
Pretty good.
As for Sato's motivation, would anyone really take risks for someone who is not even a friend? Normally, the police are called. If not, the situation will be followed up after the police are called. Why not replace this person who is not even a friend with a close friend (but since the temporary workers seem to have no social connections, I have to raise a question mark.) Although he said that he came here for money, he mentioned that so-and-so several times, and how could he be sure that this job was the job that he was looking for?
There are no others.
Isolated islands, mansions, mysterious letters, and successive simulated murders—it's full of classic elements! But the core "real murder game" setting gives it a whole new life, doubling the sense of horror and suspense, making people unable to stop once they start it.
Seeing them struggling to maintain this out-of-control "detective game" performance, trying to figure out how to solve various emergencies while pretending to be calm in front of the rich, this embarrassing and funny look really makes people laugh.
This fast-paced narrative method kept me highly nervous and excited during the reading process, and the reading experience was excellent. Every time I think the truth is about to surface, a new twist appears.
It's not just a simple serial killing, the most exciting part of the novel lies in the behind-the-scenes setting of the "detective game". There's a deeper frisson of utter despair and powerlessness that comes when you, like the protagonist, realize that all the deaths are a "show" designed to please someone. This is a dark story about manipulation, performance and survival.
The detailed description makes people wonder whether there really is a real-life version of the detective game. Sato passively entered the game from the beginning to play the role of the traveler Sato, to discovering traces of the script and resisting the script. Since the reader only knows the script ahead of Sato, he can guess the murderer and the detective together with the protagonist. It is recommended to readers who like to decipher mysteries.
The novel is set in an isolated island mansion, intertwining secret room intrigues with family secrets. The logic chain is clear and meticulous, the foreshadowing is neatly recycled, the setting of the architectural conspiracy is novel and self-consistent, and the reading is full of suspense. Yuri Takano outlines the mystery with concise writing style, and the twist at the end is unexpected. It is a masterpiece of original reasoning that combines ingenuity and quality.
It has been several days since I finished reading this book, but I still can't get out of it. The ending of the novel is really shocking. And the dark setting behind it about rich people manipulating the "detective game" and treating ordinary people's lives as playthings is even more terrifying to think about.
As the protagonist, Sato's every psychological change is portrayed in detail. From the curiosity when I received the mysterious letter at the beginning, to the fear and struggle after discovering that this was a deadly game, to the determination in the final resistance, I can all relate to it.
The Qiyan Pavilion is like a small closed society, and everyone in the pavilion represents different classes and roles in society. Those mysterious letters may symbolize the call of fate, bringing these originally unrelated people together to start a cruel survival game.
From the moment he received the mysterious letter and landed on the island, suspense followed him. The appearance of every character and the description of every detail seems to be hinting at something, but it is unpredictable.
Every page of this book is nerve-wracking. From the moment I stepped into the Kiwakan, I felt like I was in a desperate situation with Sato. Everyone around me could be an enemy, and there was danger hidden in every corner.
What creeps me out most about this book is the setting of the "Detective Game" company. In real life, we always feel that death is a serious and heavy matter, but under the control of this company, death has become a game for the entertainment of the rich.
The dim lights, damp walls, and slightly weirdly arranged furniture in the Strange Rock Pavilion were all described vividly, as if they were right in front of my eyes. Especially the scene that describes the murder in the secret room. The tense atmosphere, the movements of the murderer, and the expressions of the victims were all portrayed so penetratingly that it made me feel like I was in that horrific scene, and my heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
I stayed up all night watching it. It's really good. It's fascinating. The logic is very strict. I like this kind of rigorous reasoning.
This is a true book. As soon as I read it, I was completely immersed in this suspenseful world and couldn't stop at all! The exciting plot and constantly reversing plots, like a pair of invisible hands, gripped my heart tightly, making me eager to know what will happen next! Super recommended!
It's really beautiful! Fans of suspense reasoning really got into it. The setting of the case is very exciting, layer by layer, and the twists are eye-catching. There is a big surprise at the end. Not bad, recommended.
It is a very innovative mystery novel. Finding the murderer or trick is no longer important, but the mystery novel mode itself becomes the focus. The ending is also a bit surprising. The male protagonist finds the only way to survive.
This is a very interesting short suspense novel. It tells the story of a young man, Sato, who was taken to a high-paying job at the Gudao Rock Hall in order to earn a daily salary. He encountered incidents such as a murder in a secret room, a mysterious note, and communication severance. The reasoning is intricate and fascinating.
What impressed me most about this book was its perfect blend of violence and delicacy. The violent scenes in the novel, whether they are bloody scenes of secret room murders or tense moments of life-and-death struggles between characters, are all described with extreme realism.
The previous plot is laid out layer by layer, and every clue seems ordinary, but it is perfectly tied together at the last moment. When the truth was revealed, I suddenly realized that all the details were hidden.
The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon. One of the purposes of Sato's work was to investigate Tokunaga's whereabouts, but in the end he became a participant in the killing game.
"Whoever slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon", this sentence is too appropriate to describe this book, it's okay
The secret room design of this novel really impressed me! The author has carefully conceived each secret room. From the environment layout of the secret room, to the design of the modus operandi, to the final puzzle-solving process, every link has been handled just right.
Much better looking than expected…
Some are funny, some are sarcastic, some are reversal, atypical serious mystery novels
Some background settings are reminiscent of real-life elements
It is very suitable to watch in the current tense and depressing environment, it is particularly relaxing.
The immersion of this book is really amazing. When I read it, I was completely immersed in it, as if I was a member of the story. The author's description of the Qiyan Pavilion is meticulous. Every corner and every piece of furniture seemed to have a story, making me feel like I was really in that mansion full of secrets. The dialogues and psychological activities of the characters are also very realistic. I can really feel their fear, suspicion and struggle.
This book reminds me of "Danganronpa" and "The Deception Game", both of which are death game settings. But the novel is darker and more adult-oriented, so I recommend it to people who like this kind of subject matter.
In modern society where it is difficult to come up with good strategies, this book is still very good ~
When the mystery novel turns into a real immersive script, the sense of suspense is immediately filled. Sato's path to solving the puzzle is startling step by step, with reversals that constantly refresh his understanding of reasoning.
