THE BEST NOVEL I HAVE EVER READ.

Although I feel that ending this series at volume 4 is quite sad because of my resentment toward volumes 2 and 3, this fourth volume truly provided me with a satisfying conclusion. It carries a hint of sadness, but from the mysteries to the way they were resolved, even though I had predicted some of the secrets, it remained fascinating because the ensuing consequences were narrated with intense emotion by the author. This is a story where I could see and feel every single moment as if I were standing right beside the main characters, a story that thoroughly deserves a perfect ten out of ten.

At this point, I will also share a brief evaluation of the entire series. As I mentioned in my review of volume 1, I originally came for VOFAN, and I stayed because of the title of the story. Of course, the author integrating playful banter with petite girls and somewhat suggestive jokes was an enjoyable plus for me since I am a die hard fan of the Monogatari series. Not only that, but the perspectives of the main characters were thoroughly explored, maintaining distinct personalities without blurring together. As for the biggest advantage, I believe it stems from the geographical setting and the narrative background, which present a sense of familiarity yet feel completely unique, while simultaneously being resolved through a rare perspective that could only exist within the context of Taiwan.

Regarding the disadvantages, as I noted in my reviews for volume 1 and volume 3, the story is somewhat verbose. This is evident in volume 1 with viewpoints centered around Confucianism or similar topics, and volumes 2 and 3 with perspectives heavily focused on the past while sidelining the main cast. Naturally, because volume 4 completely lacks these drawbacks, that is precisely the reason why I feel the story achieved such a magnificent conclusion with this final volume.

However, the afterword is a bit strange haha.

非常強烈的一言難盡的感覺……。
在看完《天雷》之後,我還跟朋友狂吹說八千子老師的輕小說意外的很棒快去看,結果這本瞬間讓我想收回這句話……

倒不是說真的寫到很爛,而是對比《天雷》詳細周密的案件佈局,對民俗的巧妙化用來佈置事件,本書的案件佈局簡直就是讓人雲裡霧裡。
其中最大也是最核心的問題是角色塑造,彩薇也好,克麗絲也好,這兩個角色的出場功能和長度幾乎都突出一個毫無必要。方鳶也是一個純粹的劇情工具人,角色塑造上東一榔頭西一棒槌,哪裡都沾點邊但是又哪裡都很模糊。
這三個角色的關係其實理順非常簡單:父輩的矛盾以及犯罪——子輩被蒙在鼓裡但是互有感情,非常典型的故事模型。可以說整體的故事就是圍繞克麗絲與方鳶的父輩展開的,但是由於加進的角色太多,一有養父二有生父,無關緊要的人物還有個克麗絲,到最後就讓一本單本小說裡讀者的理解成本超高,且大部分還毫無必要。

如果說少女撿骨師系列前兩本的優勢是能塑造令人一看就懂的角色,同時在掉民俗書袋的同時做一些與推理懸疑故事的結合,那麼本冊可以說完全沒有發揮這兩個優點。塞進的角色太多,莫名其妙的長台詞也太多,同時故事還跟少年人之間的感情聯合在一起——八千子老師實際上不是很擅長寫感情戲,這就讓整個故事從頭到尾都很奇怪了。
在敘述上,通過後記可以得知八千子老師創作這本《山水》已經跟《天雷》隔了兩年之久。因此整本書的敘述方式跟前作是有隔離的,非常跳脫。尤其是在講故事線的時候喜歡用長篇累牘的角色對話,已經達到了數頁之多。雖然可以給人造成震撼,但是在上述幾個要點都沒有完成的時候只能說是雞肋了。

另有一點,後記裡用了很長很長的篇幅來安利《戲言》,我能理解這是一種廚力的表現也覺得很酷,不過能讓人覺得「後記很酷」的要點應該是首先這本作品夠好。比起專門寫後記,我還是更希望八千子老師去寫民俗解讀出版啦……
