To be honest, I’ve never really liked Alice, from the first moments she appeared in game to the Nod-Krai arc where she was more present… but now I’m starting to warming up to her because of Prune’s story.

Now I understand why this book has been ranked first on このミステリーがすごい!, ミステリが読みたい! and 週刊文春ミステリーベスト10,
The book was really great, and it’s right up my alley as police procedurals are my favourite sub-genre. I also liked that the story is not focused on the main police detective but on the case. The plot is really good, the case is very complex, elements that seemed unrelated at first turn out to be more important that they looked, the end is excellent, but most of all, it’s heavily focused on characters, their motives and how they’re dealing with the situations they’ve fallen into.

Finished! Last two chapters were very short.

I couldn’t sleep at all last night, so I listened to 失踪假日. I really love this story.
Also listening lying in bed was much easier than listening on-the-go or while doing other things. I felt like I understood everything!

I started The Resurrected, it looks very good, though the first episode was really depressing…

Ended up reading another chapter, the plot is incredibly good!
There are two chapters left, I’m keeping them for tomorrow.

Finished chapter 5. I say it after every chapter, but wow this book is so so good!! This chapter was the best so far!

I saw 冲刷 twice in a similar context, things, past being washed away by the rain. It’s the best way to remember a word, and to understand how it’s used.

I finished 玛利亚的手指, which I loved, and started 失踪假日 which is also the longest.

I found it hard at first and couldn’t follow well, so I read the first pages in the book. The text is very easy (as everything I read by Otsuichi so far), but my listening is bad compared to my reading.
It’s interesting that just reading the beginning is enough to get me started. I know the context, setting, character names… and then I can just listen and understand pretty well.

Finished chapter 4, wow this book is really great. Best police procedural I’ve read in a while. This chapter in particular had decisive elements, it’s very suspenseful!

My initial plan was to study character’s mails on their birthday, but I have a lot of catch up to do… Mails have piled up so quickly these past weeks.

His kit is pretty easy, there’s only three key words: 欢悦 (the thing he accumulates to unleash his special skills), 争胜 (the thing teammates accumulate for him to increase damage of special skill and burst) and 乘兴 (the thing that increases his skill level).

Finally did Fischl Witch’s Homework! The story was so great, I think it was the best one from the ones I did. And it would have probably helped to do it before my IT run rather than after but oh well…
