Just found and finished the first page of the thread! Not gonna read any comments yet but wanted to thank you for the effort! Will read regularly and comment once I’m caught up. Edit: Love shimada a weird amount Is Morisu a boy or girls name? Or unisex? Edit edit: Nevermind on morisu - next chapter has that info. Thought morisu was one of the people on the island and wanted to guess. Fritzler fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jun 30, 2019 |

OK caught up. Two things of note to me: 1. The New Years party - obviously important but I'm interested at the timeline. At some point this night Van said his uncle bought these islands, a light plan was made to visit and also this night Chiori died. What order? Did one lead to the other? It is kind of wild that the main characters have not really acknowledged the party more. I'd still be thinking about it a bunch a few months later. Orczy dying first makes sense if she is the only one (other than the killer) knowing Chiori's connection to this place. 2. I am wondering if the there are secret tunnels in the Decagon house. Obviously they were kind of hinted. I wonder how they would work in such a symmetrical house. With everyone's rooms being identical I feel like if any room had a secret tunnel, then every room would have to have a tunnel. Whether that goes straight across or somewhere else I don't know. Early on I thought it would be important to match club names to real names. I don't think that's true anymore.

Mr. Steak posted:about ellery, i think he's already concluded that the killer is a 3rd party (nakamura seiji) and keeping it to himself out of spite because of how Poe dismissed the theory. so he's being all "welp, it looks like it was impossible for any of us to do it. i guess theres no other possibilities..." probably after this footprints thing he's gonna bring up the seiji=culprit thing again.

Mr. Steak posted:Ah yes, this thread is still a thing. Back when I stopped updating there was a lot of life stuff getting in the way of everything, but now I'm back on top of... pretty much everything except finishing this novel. Don't worry though, I'll most likely do it within the next couple days. Kind of meta but I wonder if this will have a similar solution to And Then There Were None where one of the characters we thought was dead is alive and actually the killer. You have seemed to be leaning that way if I remember correctly.

TV Zombie posted:Ellery's obsession with Seiji is paying off. I can't believe that. I feel like the obsession has progressed to the point where he's created a Seiji persona where he would kill with the motives that the original Seiji would have. Like seriously though, who would have thought to use the cup to open a keyhole underneath the kitchen floor? Or even thought that there was a basement to the house when it hasn't been mentioned or thought of.That's madness. Would make somewhat sense if he originally thought one of the group was the killer, so he wanted to hide any advantage he had, but now realizes it was Seiji the whole time. edit: Yeah I feel like we have so much information but I'm still at a complete loss.

Mr. Steak posted:Okay wow, sorry for the delay! Truth is I lost a lot of progress last month and haven't had the motivation to redo it. But anyway here I am now with a decent buffer on content! Take this as a promise that the project ain't dead. And here's the schedule for the rest of the updates:

I’m re-reading previous posts while reading this. Before this update I thought Koujiro used the same murder strategy for the original murders, but maybe he still did

Where did he store the boat on the island? Also wonder if there will be a problem with Buddha paintings that Shimada will find.
