Best way I can describe this so far is that it's like Boogiepop if you replaced Kirima Nagi with Mercury C. So it's awesome. Hope it keeps up that momentum.

Finished chapter 1. Really metal start to this book.

Chapter 5 done. Heading into the kaiketsuhen.... perhaps.

By the end of this book I'll be convinced I am a character that Seiryouin Ryuusui has written.

Book is monumentally slow but it really uses that time to follow every character as they experience the case. It's not the easiest writing style to absorb for long periods of time, but its quite rewarding. That said, crazy that I am only halfway through, I feel like I've been reading this book for years.

Very pulpy and very fun. Wouldn't really call it a mystery novel so far though, but I'll have to see where it goes from here.

Even as an anime-fied serial killer with superpowers, Kyougoku here is not nearly as much of an aura famer as his real life counterpart

Starting to see why this is seemingly the highest rated one of the nationality series. The latest Ellery deduction was very fun to read. Meticulous in all the right ways. The banter between the Queens is extra fun here too.

This is like amogus if nobody knew there was an impostor. Maybe. Also Chikano is a funny dumbass.

Chapter 1 finished. Did the very cool thing of having a mystery where its not even clear there is one, which I appreciate. It was absolutely awful to sit through though, by design of course. Hopefully the rest of the story will be a bit more bearable though.

58 pages in, this is already probably the most revolting thing I've ever read in my life, and I've read works by Maijo and Umisawa Kaimen. Unlike popular belief I don't actually enjoy reading detailed descriptions of the worst crimes humanity is capable of, so I hope we get to the mystery part soon.

Chapter 3 finished

This book has some wild turns to it

Finished chapter 2. Things are moving very slowly but I'm excited to see where they go. Fucker just had to kill off the one character I was kinda enjoying tho

So far i have a very simple solution in mind, hope there's more to it than that. Characters are pretty fun though, I enjoy the main character's social dynamic. I also don't think I've ever read a mystery from the butler's perspective, that's pretty neat.

Chapter 4 finished. Nagi so peak... top 2 nagi moment for sure. Maybe even top 1. Also yuri as fuck.

Chapter 3 done. Didn't think it was possible for a character to be more of a rat than Saotome, but Kadono did it alright.

Finished chapter 2.

I love Mrs. Robinson, I wish I had a mom who could shoot exploding acid beams from her arms.

FINALLY READING THIS AGAIN. PRAISE THE GODS, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH BOOGIEPOP

Chapter 1 done. Good to be back with the gang. I'm sure nothing bad will happen to anyone anymore. :clueless:

Also "For a Magnificent Downfall" is 100% a Labyrinth House reference. It is, right? It's gotta be! It can't not be.

Also also I swear to god stop bringing up Kasai I take psychic damage every time it happens.

Hardest thing to buy here is that Ellery has this many friends.

Prologue done, onto chapter one.

Chapter V done. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS

Chapter 2 done

Chapter IV finished

Chapter III done
