Fun and engaging read

Plot: 10 people received an invitation to join a mystery story VR chat room. The anonymous host of the room who goes by "Murderer" and requires each of them to tell a mysterious / supernatural-esque type story. If their story isn't entertaining they die.

I enjoyed the premise a lot. Most novels in the N3 range are slice of life so having something a little more murder-mystery was awesome. Many of the stories told sucked you in (I liked Puppeteers the best) and the one's I didn't care for were short enough that it didn't feel like a chore to get through.

The language used didn't feel difficult. It did get harder towards the end but still very manageable. Additionally a lot of dialogue was split into chat bubbles which made things easier to follow. My only complaint is I wish the author used more kanji but honestly that's pretty minor.

Overall great book!
