- Count BoogulaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Basically a man is isekai'd into a world where nothing is as it seems. Why he was summoned there and what he has to do are a mystery, and to make matters worse he's essentially a ticking time bomb. It's a story that has tension, confusion, and this sense of eeriness that things just aren't quite right. It feels like a very distilled version of Higurashi to me, personally.
It's also so short I can't think of any reason not to try it. The story sells itself very well in the opening chapters, so I did wonder if it really needed a review in the first place, but eh, why not. - RznRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Having gone through the story, I still do not understand the conclusion or how it all ended from the story alone. The climax itself and Andy's presence in it was not made clear to me, there is the obvious line thrown to the reader before the conclusion though the mystery and details are not given to us. The writing is good, but I can't help but be concerned by the loose threads here, but I'll admit to not fully understanding all of the subtext.
