![]() 『黄金仮面』 is heavily based on action, and there is little to no deduction in it. ![]() The action scenes where the culprit is chased by several policemen but always manages to escape are interesting to read if you like the genre, but the outcome is so obvious that they always fail to raise my interest. Then I felt that the first half of the novel was a collection of scenes I had already read in the previous books. I found that this novel did not bring much in terms of creativity and I had a feeling of déjà-vu all along.įirst, the novel starts by telling you that our villain is the worst criminal of all time, which, after 6 books making a similar statement, starts feeling less credible and impressive. Most of the novels share similar scenes, actions and plot twists, so what makes a book stands out is not as much the structure and plot of the novel than the overall atmosphere, and how scary or striking the individual scenes can be. This is the 6th title from the Kogoro Akechi collection, and the books get more and more repetitive. ![]() I was tempted to DNF it, but the end turned out to be very good, so I am glad that I did not give up. I did not like this novel at first, and it is one of my least favourites of the series so far. ![]() ![]() This is the sixth book in the Kogoro Akechi collection published by Shueisha. ![]()
