My god, I love the cohesive plot line and story elements.
especially since I spent the week watching all Agatha Christie adaptations , literally watching Mrs marble now as Iam typing this!
so when they get to the murder mystery chapters (25-32 i believe)
i was intensely amazed.
furthermore, this seems like one of the rare kago books that could actually get published in America and sold over shops like Walmart or Amazon.
since most of his work is much to graphic and explicit to ever be sold through even online retailers here in the USA (they only sell brain damage, dementia 21, and maybe 2 other volumes in any real numbers)
I know because I requested a hardcover collectible copy of brain damage for my birthday earlier in the month!
but yeah, I loved this book, enough to even immediately send a link to my smart psychiatrist friend on her phone!
Iam also happy kago inserted a cameo appearance of his “fucking with the reader” tricks from his Book on fractions (i hope to god no parent or school teacher ever accidentally orders this book for teaching math).
also, the 99 locked room murders with unique solutions was a fun attempt (joking of course)
at the record for number of locked room murders that could be done in reasonable time.
where “and then there were none” held that record at 10 unique and mysterious murders in one narrative. Then exceeded by “uminoneku : when seagulls cry”
which had a total of 18 people on an island, at the time of the family head passing in the night after cutting them all from the will (of course, lol), who all get murdered by the end. which begs the question how could the last person be killed if there’s just 18 total people?
well, they’re all locked room murders, certainly, and nobody commits suicide…
but now we have a story with 99 locked room murders with distinct kill methods…
