【Complaints】The Witch of Laplace

Thread Content

　　I wanted to destroy the novels I had written before, and that’s how this work came into being. (Akihiko Tsukushi) After reading the book [The Witch of Laplace] these past days, I felt that the ending was merely satisfactory; compared to the outcome I had imagined, Tsukushi’s version is likely more bloody, more violent, and darker. In the novel, Hanahara Quintarou (Hanahara Enka’s father) appears for the first time, and when he reappears under a different identity, I thought that the ultimate villain was controlling everything, constantly plotting to carry out his plans at any cost (such as destruction), or that he suffered from some even more severe condition than a lack of paternal love... In short, he wasn’t considered a good person in my eyes; one could say he wasn’t human. In the end, he was killed by his daughter... Actually, it’s a story about Kenjin seeking revenge and Hanahara Enka saving him. Perhaps the protagonist’s aura isn’t bright enough; both the male and female protagonists possess superpowers. (For some reason, it shifted to X-Men.) The female protagonist can predict the direction of air currents and determine the male protagonist’s location in order to save the world—yet all of this isn’t even that remarkable. Nakagawa works hard to investigate the truth and strive to move the story forward (:'( He puts in effort despite not receiving any recognition). In the end, there’s a mysterious letter of confession that brings the investigation to an end… One can only imagine the psychological burden Nakagawa must be carrying... Hehe. To be honest, if I hadn’t read the recommendations before buying the book, I probably wouldn’t have felt such strong dissatisfaction. To ease inner dissatisfaction, watch \"White Night\" again in search of some comfort. Do anyone have any interesting books to recommend? Please share them~ Don’t hold back!~
