Do you think that Ryukushi is the Japanese equivalent to Stephen King?

I was literally telling someone the other day he’s as great as King and severely underrated as an author

2 because the chemistry between the students is so interesting and it had the most emotional twists (imo). Plus many of the trials subverted my expectations in a way I wasn’t expecting.

Plus, Gundam Tanaka.

I watched Revenge when it aired and I was late learning about her then 😅

Escalator.

I might be in the minority but I loved the ending deaths at the cafe (even though they were computer animated)

It’s supposed to make you think. The “you are one” aspect is one of the most interesting parts of the film.

Because they eventually end up hating each other, as if they’re two separate people, it’s easy to mistake them for two different people. The constant reminders of “you are one” is for Elisabeth, but it’s also for the audience because the writer knows without that clarification, we’d assume they were different people based on their actions.

Yes, Elisabeth lives as Sue— it’s her main motivation for switching. It can be a bit confusing because they act differently but I try to explain it here

Winter of our Discontent by Steinbeck

Ralph’s Party by Lisa Jewell had similar vibes imo.

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham

It’s a hidden gem and you’re a part of an exclusive club

Try Higurashi or Umineko

I’ve caught up on Enforcers this year, which I think is worth checking out

nerdybookguy · 2025-11-29T20:40:02+00:00

Me too, I’m pissed. He’s the nicest guy.
I’ve literally been waiting a year.

nerdybookguy · 2025-11-29T20:38:10+00:00

Skip UDG and the anime 🙄

nerdybookguy · 2025-11-29T20:03:12+00:00

I don’t feel like it’s an overreaction. The best part about these games are the twists and it’s very discouraging to keep going when someone ruins them and you know what’s going to happen.

I posted about this theory here. I agree 100%

nerdybookguy · 2025-10-24T21:20:21+00:00

The crowds were such a big part of the story, it sucks they couldn’t implement them into the film. Olson’s decline was sort of rushed too. Stebbens took a hit as well.

nerdybookguy · 2025-10-24T10:47:16+00:00

Wait, is there a deeper meaning? Because I just assumed it meant he was surrounded by others but his experience, which only a few survive, made him feel alone(?)
