I've only read one of the stories being 'reworked' into a Reiwa context here, and a fair amount of general Ranpo books/stories, so while I can't compare every story in this book to the original, I know the general vibes that we're working with and I think this just doesn't live up to the original. It's basically Ranpo plots with more sex and technology shoe-horned in.
I've read one other book by this author so far, スマホを落としただけなのに, and I commented in that review that the author overexplained technology. He does the same in this book, with it being most explanation heavy in 赤い部屋. I actually enjoyed the ending of that one, but the explanations were just too much.
Overall though I'd say I really enjoyed 一人二役 and 人でなしの恋, but didn't really vibe with the rest.
