I am not great with solving mysteries, but I love reading them in spite of, or maybe because of, that. I expect to mostly admire the prose but maybe predict a thing or two.

I actually almost posted last night hoping the book came with a map of Decagon House because I'm really bad at mentally picturing directions and layouts. Right now I'm equally fascinated by the story and the editing discussion you two are having, so I may not have much else to say until more plot happens.

 Now poo poo's starting to get interesting. If the mysteries revolve around mahjong (is it one word or two? I've seen both), though, I'm hosed because I've never been able to make sense of the game and might have to change that. As far as names go, Hajime can also be written as "beginning" and Wikipedia lists other kanji with readings along similar lines. If there's one thing Japan loves, it's hidden meanings in character names so could you share how the ones we know so far are written and try to offer that as we readers learn them?

Sometimes the hardest thing about mystery games and books is telling apart the relevant information and the misdirection.

Posting so I have a convenient place to toss a link about Japanese medical schooling when I'm on my laptop and it isn't 6:45 AM.

I'm enjoying reading this even if I can't seem to find anything to say consistently. Will anyone live to tell the wider world about what happened here? I hope so if only to give the victims' families some sort of closure.

They're all being drugged?

I wonder if that cup was with the house all along or if the killer prepared it and brought it with them. If the latter, how did they know what the originals looked like? Maybe I need to reread from the beginning to see if I'm forgetting anything important.

I'm trying to remember if poison or a person being drugged figured into the prior murders, which is part of why I need to reread. Coincidences can't exist in mystery books

I should go back and re-read everything so my memory is fresh when you start posting new content.

I really like the prologue and epilogue as a pair. And I'm bad at mystery novels so I'm not surprised that I had no idea of the solution.
