   All three are quite good. "Death Chamber" left some things unresolved at the end due to the author's personal reasons. However, the protagonists in all three are intelligent, making them very enjoyable to read. "Death Course" feels more like an ensemble piece; there aren't any particularly stupid characters, and everyone has their strengths. The supporting characters aren't made weak just to highlight the protagonist (this applies to all three), and there's no mindless granting of superpowers to the protagonist.

    The first part is so unpredictable that you'll never guess the ending until the very end. If you can, I'll eat my hat! It drove me crazy. It tells the story of the same protagonist through 3-4 short stories. The second part is obvious, no need to explain. The third part is a sleepwalking investigation report, only available as a comic book. It seems to be mainly told from the protagonist's perspective, depicting the world of sleepwalkers. It's absurd but very scientific. The protagonist's identity is... Well, I forgot. There's a story about a little boy who has a box that supposedly shows the timeline of the world three years in the future. The protagonist asks the little boy to tell him what he sees. It's like someone shoots a gun through the box. The amazing thing is, the bullet disappears. Three years later, the little boy is found dead in the same spot, shot through the head. There's no gun, no one, and his mother is in the living room. Just like the little boy said, the box represents the world three years in the future. The bullet disappeared three years ago, and three years later, it reappears in the same place. It's absurd, but very scientific.
