Detective Conan: The Scarlet Tower

It is a very thoughtful book, and the author intends to bring you a unique world of Conan. He wrote the original protagonist Kudo Shinichi to death at the beginning, and also created an original character to replace Conan. The author is very ambitious for his work and is not satisfied with copying the plot of the original work. As of Volume 5, two entire volumes of plots have been created. The remaining three volumes have also been rewritten based on the original story line, which can be said to be beyond recognition. This is a courage that many Conan fan authors cannot achieve. Let's talk about the protagonist. The protagonist is actually not ordinary. A graduate of Tokyo University Law School, the young head of the gold watch group. Although the author has always wanted to obscure this aspect, Sugano is still an elite person. As for the character of the protagonist, the author wanted to create a character who is a reckless and tough guy with a righteous heart. Probably because even though he is covered in trauma, he still hugs his beloved tightly but tenderly. However, Xinlan can leave. The author is seriously grieving.

Author 666, you are the first person I have ever seen a Conan fan to write the main character to death.

What I appreciate most about this novel is that it is more realistic, the protagonist is more realistic, and you can find people to match up with in real life. In my opinion, the biggest problem of the original Conan is that it is too unrealistic. The Kudo Shinichi family are wealthy people who live in a villa and have friendships with everyone (the Suzuki family). He didn't consider other people's feelings. How much pressure did the police have to bear when he became famous after solving the case? How many people would say that the police were incompetent? (I quite sympathize with the Metropolitan Police Department in Conan. It is natural for them to solve the case. No one thinks well of you. If you can't solve the case, they will call you incompetent. They often call you incompetent. Not everyone has a good life like Kudo Shinichi. He has no worries about food and clothing. He is accompanied by a beautiful childhood sweetheart. He is also on good terms with the capital tycoon Suzuki family. He can get involved in any activities. His parents often take him to travel abroad. There is also a Dr. Agasa who lives next to him. He is in trouble. I looked for him immediately... Where did Long Aotian come from? On the contrary, the protagonist of this novel is more real. He also has his own difficulties as a policeman. His sister does not get close to him and hangs out with the scum of society. He feels guilty because he is busy with work and has no time to take care of him. He was too dedicated and unsophisticated, which made his colleagues ostracize him. After solving the case, he brushed off his clothes, hid his identity and reputation, and found a stall to eat and drink, which was considered a celebration. It wasn't until Haiyuan came to visit that he started to change a little. I sincerely hope that such a realistic novel can be written well and not fall into decline.

Kudou Shinichi died, and Pig's Knuckle took in Miyano Shiho. How could he avoid Belmode's pursuit of the Miyano family? You must know that the original work was abandoned because of Xinlan, or Xiaolan would join later.

I read volumes 45 and 5 in one sitting in the car yesterday, and I received very good reviews. Among them, the one who surprised me the most was the second male lead (?) Director Odagiri. The author greatly adapted the minor character in the original work into a police bureaucrat with a very charismatic personality. He is not only the boss who appreciates the protagonist, but also the source of part of the protagonist's pain - is Nobu Suganno willing to just be the "cleaner" in Pixar's mouth for the rest of his life? But if you want to build a huge scarlet tower, you must talk about "unity." Will Sugano Nobu's idealistic part allow him? In addition, there is a lot of internal conflicts between the Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department. I have to say that this is the information density that the main line should have, rather than killing an organization member every time like a child's play (it still takes 2 hours). Finally, make a prediction for the plot after the fifth volume (talk about the unfilled pit?) 1. How did Miyano Akemi know the protagonist? (I was curious about it in the first volume) Is it related to the death (?) Of the protagonist's ex-girlfriend? 2. Sato's transformation. In the eyes of the minister, Sato should not be just a member (tool person) who organizes paperwork and observes meetings. I hope that Sato will at least become a serious subordinate of the protagonist in the future, instead of stalking and calling the previous people. 3 Procuratorate and lawyers. In the Scarlet Tower, the confrontation between the prosecutor's office and the lawyers is a big attraction. In the fifth volume, two prosecutors and a lawyer (legal affairs) appear, plus the appearance of the Special Investigation Department. I am looking forward to the corresponding content in the future. Can the author add some details 😭😭😭😭😭

I went to many Conan fan review sections to review this book, and the author quickly praised me.

It would be boring if Conan died. The point of reading Conan fandom is to see how to make the original story better and more complete. Of course, it is okay to use Conan's world background to write, but there is no need to add the word "Conan"

I have read three volumes so far. The author is of a very high standard, and his logic and writing style are both excellent. However, this book is not suitable as a Conan fan, because the characters of Conan's main characters and important supporting characters are determined by the original work. There may be better room for development outside the framework of Conan. We can add various original plots to the characters, but when the plot is separated from the original characters, there will be a strong sense of violation. For example, the character in the book that currently gives me the most sense of dissonance is Officer Shiratori. Because in the original work, Shiratori is a "police police officer with a sense of honor and not afraid of sacrifice." With Shiratori's character and experience, it's impossible for him not to understand the protagonist's fearless act of sacrifice when dealing with Teiji Moritani's bomb, because Shiratori also faced terrorist bombs in the original work and a bracelet with a bomb in the theater version, and was blown into the hospital. Judging from what the author wants to express, it would be too awkward to limit oneself to the larger framework of Conan when writing about Conan fandom. The original work is a shounen manga. High-ranking officials such as Hattori Heizo Toyama Ginjiro Odagiri Toshiro are capable, responsible and have a sense of justice. Grassroots police officers such as Takagi Shiratori Sato and Kume Takagi work hard and are not afraid of sacrifice. These settings are very separate from the dark realistic tone of the book and the intrigues in the Metropolitan Police Department in the book, and it feels very inconsistent when reading.

The protagonist is so powerful but has such low emotional intelligence? Or, in Japan, you can achieve such a high position without any support? Why are the characters in the book so violent? If it is because they want to be admired first. That description shouldn't be so low. Kudo Shinichi's father is a world-famous novelist and one who has a good relationship with the FBI. His child's death is unknown, and it is not unrealistic to make any noise or resist at all. As one of the close friends, the Suzuki Consortium showed no expression at all, which is actually very abnormal. Let's look at the follow-up development.

The author's writing style is very good, the novel is also very interesting, and the case is well written, but there is a fatal flaw, which is "unpleasantness". Internet articles must ultimately make readers feel comfortable, but the protagonist created by the author is a stubborn, outlier who pursues personal justice, and the protagonist in the article emphasizes many times that he likes to stay on the front line. This is destined to prevent the protagonist from being able to counterattack in a high position, which is also a kind of "unpleasantness".
